I am looking for information regarding my family. Here is what I know:
My Great-grandfather was Martin James Marrie, Sr. DOB: 8-15-1873. His mother's name was Mary, his father's name is unknown. He had 3 siblings that I know of: Thomas, Michael & Mary (Mrs. John Thornton). As of April of 1933, all of his siblings were still living in Ireland. Martin occasionally spelled his name "Marria". He came to America (I believe in the Pittsburgh area first) and then moved to Sharpsville, PA where he resided until his death in 1933.
Martin married Bridget Malia (of County Mayo). Bridget was born 2-2-1875, I do not know the names of her parents. Bridget had six siblings that I know of. As of 1939, this was the status and names of her siblings: Katherine Malia Craine (of Coraopolis, PA); Mary Malia Larkin (Pittsburgh PA); Anna Malia Coyne (Ireland); John Malia (Sharpsville, PA); Michael Malia (Sharpsville, PA); and Thomas Malia (Ireland).
I would like to know the names of Martin and Bridget's parents, as well as the towns where they came from. Bridget was definitely from County Mayo but that's all I know for sure. Martin's obit just said that he was from Ireland.
Does anyone have either of these people in their line? I am looking for any information at all and thank you in advance for whatever help you are able to offer.
Sincerely,
Teri (TJ)
