Margaret Kelly, daughter of Frank and Margaret b. about 1822, married John Hanley in Roscommon, possibly Knockcroghery, had 3 children, eldest was Thomas b. 1842. Others born 1845, 1847 according to parish record in Knockcroghery.<p>Went to America between 1847 and 1850. <p>First American records show only Thomas with parents in 1850 in New London, Connecticut, (other two boys died in Ireland / on ship / in America?) then Margaret has daughter Mary Ellen in 1852. By 1854 no sign of John Hanley or son Thomas (died of illness, accident?) and Margaret remarries William F. Miller, then has 3 more children.<p>Looking for appropriate Hanley and Kelly families in Knockcroghery or nearby in Roscommon.
