According to Census Records of Philadelphia, PA, she came to the US in 1877, I'm sure it could be off a year here and there.  And I don't know if she came with anyone else or not.

If Rebecca ended up in Philadelphia it's possible that was the port of arrival in U.S.- which means she won't be listed on Castle Garden site since it only covers N.Y. arrivals.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi - I can't remember if we have already been in touch.
Rebecca's parents Anthony Wilkinson and his wife Mary Wilkinson were living in Faymore townland near Creeslough.  Although, as far as I can tell, the parents were church of Ireland BUT their children were married in Clondahorkey Roman Catholic Chapel.
I cannot find any baptisms for any of their children as the parish registers did not exist before 1880 for the RC chapel and the early C of I registers were destroyed - only surviving from the early 1870's.
Both Anthony and Marys siblings were married and buried in Ballymore Church of Ireland.
