Searching for John Donahoe's Siblings
tracy — Thu, 08/03/2006 - 18:33
Recently, I decided to see if I could find any siblings of John Donahoe, son of Cornelius Donahoe and Mary Deasy/Dacey. John is the father of my husband's great-great-grandmother Mary Donahoe. Mary was born about 1873 in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the daughter of John Donahoe and Eliza Field. John, her father, was born about 1840 in Ireland. By searching the Massachusetts vital records for Marlborough, between 1850 and 1880, I was able to identify a number of additional children of Cornelius and Mary.
This entry will cover the oldest child I found of Cornelius and Mary Donahoe.
