First let me say Moxie was definitely a New England thing.
I am interested in Grennans and Goreys - possibly from Tullamore[?]. I believe they left Ireland and arrived in Canada in 1869. They are as follows:
RICHARD (Patrick) GOREY born about 1833 in Ireland and died Dec 1897 in Johnville, NB, Canada
NOTE: Johnville was a town started by a Catholic priest for Irish immigrants to St John, NB Canada
Richard was married to ELLEN GRENNAN born Nov 8, 1833 in Ireland and died Aug 27, 1918 - for some reason she is listed as Margaret on son Patrick's death certificate. She is the d/o Patrick Grannon and Elizabeth Duffey.
NOTE: son Patrick lists parents as from Athlone, Ireland (County Westmerth?)
Children of Richard and Ellen:
**Michael GOREY was born about 1854 in Ireland and died about 1928. Did not move to Johnville, but do not know if he stayed in Ireland or went elsewhere
**Elizabeth GOREY was born about 1855 in Ireland and died Aug 20, 1933. She is my gr-gr-grandmother. She married Oct 13, 1883 to John MALLOY born [somewhere in Ireland] April 8, 1859 and died Dec 8, 1915.
**James GOREY was born May 1857 in Ireland and died 1938.
**Patrick GOREY was born Aug 17, 1859 in Ireland and died Feb 10, 1942 Johnville, NB
**Richard J GOREY Jr. was born Aug 16, 1867 and died 1939
**Ann GOREY was born October 1874
**Martha GOREY was born Nov 25, 1880 and died Aug 8, 1954
No idea if my Grennans are related to any of your Grennans but Tullamore is not far from Athlone so I thought it was worth posting. Any info on any of these people would be greatly appreciated.
