Looking for any relations to James Maguire1797-1873 and Judith Farry 1793-1859 and children Peter, Michael, Mary, Judy, James, Bridget and Patrick, all found in the 1841 census in Killeshandra, Drumcrow North. Also listed with them as visitor is Mary Goodwin, born 1813, age 45.The christening record of Patrick has been found in Killeshandra on April 2, 1836, with witnesses Mathew Maguire and Judith Farry. The father of James may also have been a James. Both the Maguires and Farrys may have originated in Fermanagh. This family emigrated first to Meridan, Connecticut and then to Iowa. Any help would be most appreciated. sharoncallinan@eircom.net
