Hello,

I'm trying to build my family tree and new to this hobby.

My great grandmother is Sarah Morris from Five Mile Town, Co Tyrone. She was born around 1890 and married William Henry Maguire from Kilnavar, Cavan about 1920 and took on his 3 girls to a previous marriage. Sarah had 6 children; Lila (Eliza), Frances, Bertha, William, Edna and David.

Sarah, had at least 4 siblings; Willy, Frank, Lizzi and Mary who I believe all emigrated to America. Sarah lived in New York for a short time and worked in the Kelloggs factory with her sister Mary.
I believe Mary Morris settled in Morristown, New York where she died and never married.

I would greatly appreciate any information you may have.

Thanks in advance,

Renee
