Hello -
I have no idea what Anna Hughes's parents names were. I have since found out, her birthdate was: 2 Dec 1884. Also, I learned she immigrated to America in 1913, arriving at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once in Philadelphia, she worked as a weaver in a textile mill, until her marriage to a Francis Patrick O'Neill. So, far, I haven't been able to identify the name of the ship or the date she came over.
Apparently, there are still Hughes relatives in Coalisland. My significant other's mother, Ann Patricia O'Neill (married name: Coyle) was the one who kept up with most of them until her death in 1996.
From what I gather from my S.O., Anna Hughes (b. 2 Dec 1884, Coalisland) had a sister, Ellen Hughes, who also immigrated to America, possibly with Anna in 1913.
Also I just learned from "The S.O.", he thinks Anna and Ellen Hughes had brothers who remained in Coalisland. The names of two of Anna and Ellen Hughes's brothers were James and John Hughes. One of the Hughes brothers (not sure whom) had at least 2 children: Catherine (Kitty) and Seamus Hughes.
I wish "The S.O." had given out with this info earlier, so I could have included it in my original message. Thank you in advance to anyone with a lead or two.
Sincerely,
Jean E, Missouri U.S.A.
