Looking for info on my Great Grandmother Catherine Mary Tighe who married a Harry Joseph Higgins. They were married in Cincinnati, Ohio on June 28th, 1886. <br>Catherine had a sister, Mary who also came to America. Their parents were: Patrick Tighe who married a Mary Doyle and they had at least two children, Katherine Mary Tighe born maybe in Ballinaghigish, and a Mary Catherine Tighe. I believe the sisters had other siblings.<br> I have old letters from family, a Joseph Tighe who in 1935, lived at 16 Connaught St. Athlone. He states he had a sister May who died approx. 1923, a brother Mike who died approx. 1930, cause was a railway accident, brother Jack.<br>I have a letter from a Joe Tighe, written in 1939 address was c/o Chapel St. Athlone.<br>I have a letter from a Jack Tighe who mentions his wife died and had 5 children. He said he had at some point lived with an Aunt Biddy in Glanmore. I have no year on that letter. The address was c/o T.J Hynes or Tynes, 3 Sheep Market, Athlone, Co Westmeath.<br>A letter from a John Tighe, who said he was a nephew, that she was his fathers sister. Letter written 6/1/1936. He said he was born at Gough St., Roscommon and that Patrick was born there as well. He said that the other 5 were born in Athlone. His father worked for Sheehans, the National Bank. <br>I have another letter from a Kate Tighe who’s address was Vico Cottage, Irishtown, Athlone. One letter was postmarked 1937. She had a sweet shop and lodgers. She had 3 boys and 3 girls. One, I believe was a Michael Tighe and a John who had worked for the railway.<p>If you have any information it would be so appreciated! <br>
