Wow, this may not connect, but I'm glad I looked at the Crock listings. I have been researching my grgr-grandmother Maria/MaryAnn Croke Laffan Ryan. She was born in 1826 - I'd thought in Ireland(according to death cert) but this may be an error. She married Thomas Laffan who had run a grist mill in Canada. M. in abt 1845-47. 1st son James b.in N.Brunswick (could be North or New Brunswick?) James b1848. Second Mary Ann b1850 in WI, all others b.WI Joanna,Anna,Wm,John and Thomas.Husb, #1drown in 1858. 2nd husb.Patrick Ryan m1861 in WI and 4 dau.all b.WI
You can see that with first children so young when their father died - who would have all info?? Ryan girls, Eliza, Margaret(Emma),Ellen(Nellie), Catherine(Tessie) all b.in 1860's/ I'm trying but not getting far.
