1840 McGuiness – Co. Monaghan, Ireland

 

My mother was Winifred McGuiness. Her grandparents Hugh McGuiness and his wife Elizabeth (Betsy) Hewett emigrated from Ireland with their four children in 1840, arriving on the ship “Crescent”. Their youngest child William who was aged eleven on arrival, married another Irish immigrant, Bridget Quinlan, in 1855. Two of their daughters married two Thomson brothers. Their seventh child William, married Mary Ann Keegan, who were my grandparents.

Notes currently in preparation. In the meantime, herewith the first few generations, expanding on the above information.
