I don't have much information, looking for Anne/Annie Drury, born in Sligo in 1848, story has it that the family were fishermen, her and her brother Michael came to America together, landed in Boston, he stayed in Boston, she went to Rhode Island.  Have her marriage to Michael M White on Oct 9, 1871, but don't know where it took placee, Michael M White was said to be from County Cork Roscommon, that's all I have.  Any help in sending me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  • Hi Mary

    There is a record of the baptism of Anne Drury in Sligo 1845 on www.rootsireland.ie/

    The parish is KILSHALVEY KILTURRA R C.

    It costs to view the full record but it MAY have her parents' names.

    There is also a record of Michael Drury 1846 but the parish is not the one above.

    Cork & Roscommon are both counties so do you have a birth year for Michael White from the marriage record?

    I thought ancestry would be a help but no luck there yet.

  • Thank you so much for the Drury info, what I have for Michael M White is born 1841 Cork/ Roscommon, although stories only mentioned Cork.  Died in Rhode Island, USA June 11, 1914

  • Thank you again, I checked it out, lists his Parents as Patrick White and Mary Tobin.  Somewhere I have written that his Parents were John and Ellen, but don't know where I got that, searching for Michael's death certificate, think I had it from years ago when I started this quest.   Did save and print the Baptism record and found some people on Ancestry who have saved the same Patrick, more twists and turns.  Good thing I like doing this.
