I am researching two families that may have emigrated to The English West Midlands to escape The Great Famine, Anthony O'Donnell born circa 1806 and his wife Bridget ? born circa 1811. Had six children circa 1831>1845 Mary, Bridget, Patrick, Edward, Anne and Catherine. Mary may have married a Michael O'Boyle, Bridget a Michael Histon, and Anne a James Cafferty. they settled in the Town of Stourbridge, which was Worcestershire then and The West Midlands now, and gained employ in the local brick and glass works. Would love to be able to trace a bit of the Castlebar connection for a 5th generation descendant of this line who is quite poorly at the moment so if any one can help I would appreciate it! She dearly wants to no more of her Irish Roots.
