John Madden and Catherine Farrelly were my Great Grandparents.  Their daughter Agnes (who also was known as Catherine) was born 11/17/1870 in Ballyshannon, Donegal or 12/1/1870 in Nobber, Meath.    I had been looking for info about Rose and wasn't able to find a thing, so I thank you for that.  Agnes was sent to live in Ballyshannon with an uncle where she met her husband, Hugh Stevenson.   They married then moved to America and settled in the Boston area.  Had 4 sons.  I am the youngest daughter of the 3rd son.   I have a lot more info that I would be happy to share.

I really hope you will see this.  It was posted so long ago

Descend from Mary Farrelly, born 1777 in Nobber. I've traced a bit more of the ancestry. Let me know if you'd like to work on connecting our lines.
