Hi Everyone,
I was hoping for some clarify, as this has been bugging me a little bit. I've been trying to cross reference and expand my family tree and found some pretty solid information regarding James' children but kind of went down a rabbit hole when I was trying to research his supposed family. I forget where, but it might have been early in building my tree, but I could have sworn I found some correlation between James and them. I kept finding relatives in Cortland / Erie, NY and built my tree off of that, but going back, there's some potential discrepancies that I'm not 100% sure if its human error, or if they people who've posted it are wrong. This was before I in-depth fact checked and added family trees if certain details lined up, so I know better now a days. Currently, I'm not sure I can find where I found the original information that led me down this road.
My question is if there's any records that line up Jame's being related to the individuals from Cortland / Erie NY. I'd rather pay for my early mistake and be wrong before building upon an incorrect tree (even though I've been getting great results from it)
James L. Dobbins (APR 1835 • County Cork, Ireland) - this is vague since I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact location of his birth - 11 JUN 1909 • New York, New York)
Married Mary A. Cryan (18 JUL 1837 • Ballycullane, Tintern, Wexford, Ireland - 6 SEP 1914 • Fulton, New York) Know her death date is accurate.
Jame's alleged parents:
Michael Dobbins (MAY 1801 • Castledermot, Kildare, Ireland) - Unknown Death
Margaret Cremin (1806 • County Cork, Ireland - 29 APR 1853 • New York)
The Children I've come across sometimes have James in it, others do not. I'm not sure if there were more children based on what I was seeing currently:
Patrick Kerry Dobbins (MAR 1844 • County, Kilkenny, Ireland - 2 FEB 1915 • Homer, Cortland, New York, United States)
Mary Dobbins (1839 • Coolagarranroe, Burncourt, Co Tipperary, Ireland - Unk)
David Dobbins (1831 • Coolagarranroe, Burncourt, Co Tipperary, Ireland - Unk)
Any help would be appreciated if possible:
Thank you
