I am in search of information on my gr-gr-gr-grandparents, Thomas ALLEN and his wife Bridget (sometimes Delia). According to various censuses, Thomas was born between 1807-1810 in Ireland. Bridget/Delia was born between July 7 and Aug 5, 1824 in Ireland. In the 1855 census they had been in the county/town for 6 months.

In the 1855 Census, Thomas was a laborer. In 1860 and 1865 he was a tanner. He was dead by 1870 and Bridget was head of household. She moved with her daughters to Utica, Oneida, NY where she died 11 Dec 1895.

I am searching for date of death, obit and burial location for Thomas, as well as any possible sources (Catholic?) of birth/baptism information for the children born in Williamstown. I'd also like to find out from where in Ireland they came.

Their children were:

Mary b. abt 1846 in Ireland

Anna b. abt 1850 in Ireland

Delia J. b. abt 1856 in NY. md. James F. MURRAY. Later lived in Chicago, Cook, IL.

Catharine F. b. 27 July 1858 in NY. d. 4 June 1911 in Utica, Oneida, NY; md. abt. 1876, Edwin AGNE in Utica, NY

Jane b. abt. 1860

Jennie T. b. January 1862 in NY (obit states Williamstown) d. 23 Nov 1905 in Utica, Oneida, NY; md. (1) 3 Jan 1878, John E. ANDERSON in Utica, Oneida, NY. Divorced him 19 Feb 1898; (2) 22 Feb 1898, William H. REESE in Utica, Oneida, NY.

Jennie and John ANDERSON are my gr-gr-grandparents. Her second husband, William H. Reese, was the Sheriff for Oneida Co.

Thank you.
