Patrick and Ellen Gilmartin married about 1830 Ireland

[djkhan]

Hello,

I am looking for my ancestors. Most of what I have is from cemetaries, US census records and neighbors of Bartholomew Gilmartin, son of Patrick and Ellen.

Bartholomew Gilmartin came to the US as an unmarried adult. I don't know if he traveled with any family or friends. Bartly's father Patrick is buried in Rhode Island. Patrick died 20 April 1880. In the US , Bartly married Bridget Dolan, daughter of John Dolan. Bridget was also born in Ireland. Bridget came to the US as a young girl (10 or 11) in the company of a female "friend". She was met in the US by her three brothers. That is all I know of Bridget's family.

In adition to Bartly, Patrick and Ellen had four other children, Peter, Cecelia, Patrick, and Catherine.

Patrick and Ellen Gilmartin's children are all buried in Providence, Rhode Island, US.
Bartholomew born 1830 died 27 April 1898 m Bridget Dolan
Peter (He had a falling out with the family and left the area.)
Cecelia born 1836 died 10 September 1894 a Nun, never married
Patrick born 1837 died 18 July 1906 a teacher, never married
Catherine born 1844 died 19 February 1914 never married

My father remembers spending a great deal of time at his grandparent's house just a few blocks away from him in Providence. Daddy said his grandmother was Mary Ellen Gilmartin, daughter of Bartholomew and Bridget Gilmartin.
He believed his great grandfather Bartholomew was from Leitrim, Ireland.

Any help with finding Patrick and Ellen Gilmartin is certainly appreciated.

Cheers,
Diann
