Ireland / Engilly or Angila
« on: Saturday 07 December 19 00:18 GMT (UK) »
James (something like Engilly) and Mary have daughters Margaret b 1840 and Johanna b. 1844 in Ireland before moving to Massachusetts, USA. Johanna uses the spelling Engilly in the US by 1862 when she married an ex-Cork (maybe) man named Maurice (O')Sullivan in Lawrence, MA. The families are Catholic. James is not in the 1865 US census, but Mary Engily is and listed as a widow born 1805. Mary might have lived in Chelsea, MA in 1863 with the Sullivans. She is in Lawrence, MA in 1865, but dau Margaret died in Lowell, MA in 1860 at age 20. I can not get to an 1850 or 1860 census for Essex county and even Sullivan is misspelled in 1865. Johanna's death records say James Angila and Mary Bowlar are her parents. Co. Cork has some Bowlar families, but I have no idea how James' last name is spelled and where that name might be found in Ireland. Does anyone have a clue?
