How far back is the Dundalk/Irish connection supposed to be? From the census links posted it looks like Albert & Mary Jane born in U.S. and none of their parents born in Ireland  :-\
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

"in the 14th & 15th century"

So there's a gap of what - 15-20 generations between Dundalk and Wisconsin?   That's a rather large missing link.
Wiltshire:  Banks, Taylor
Somerset:  Duddridge, Richards, Barnard, Pillinger
Gloucestershire:  Barnard, Marsh, Crossman
Bristol:  Banks, Duddridge, Barnard
Down:  Ennis, McGee
Wicklow:  Chapman, Pepper
Wigtownshire:  Logan, Conning
Wisconsin:  Ennis, Chapman, Logan, Ware
Maine:  Ware, Mitchell, Tarr, Davis

Hi Erato,
           That is one of the connections I'm trying to prove.
There is a John Brandon, b 1641 Dublin, married Kathlene Cyme O'Flannery,  b 1641 Ireland or Holland had a son John Brandon b 1662 Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Thanks for your help
