I am looking for the townland of brothers Patrick (b. abt. 1833) and Michael Curry (b. abt. 1837) to parents Michael Curry and Mary Crowe. Patrick immigrated to the US in 1852 (ending up in Albany, NY)  and Michael to the US (Albany, NY) in 1862.  (Both died in the US.) Naturalization and other records give County Clare as birthplace for both.

I am also looking for the townland of Mary Morgan (b. abt. 1843) in Clare and Michael Morgan (b. abt. 1829) in Clare. They may be siblings, cousins, or other close relations.

Mary Morgan immigrated to the US (Albany, NY) in 1860 and married Patrick Curry (above) in 1861 at St. Joseph's in Albany. On her death certificate (from 1922) her father's name is listed as James. Her mother's name was listed as not known.

I believe Michael Morgan has some tie to Mary Morgan. He is listed as sponsor for 2 of her children's baptisms. She is a witness at the marriage of his daughter Ann. (all in Albany, NY). He immigrated to the US (Coeymans, NY - near Albany) in abt. 1864 - after first living in and marrying (Mary Duggan, b abt. 1831, Ireland) in Llantwit Fardre, Glamorgan, Wales. The earliest record I have of him in Wales is the marriage record from 1853 - his father is listed as William, deceased. Three children - Anne, Michael, and Daniel - were born in Wales. The second oldest, William, however, is listed on a number of records as being born in Ireland abt. 1859. Michael Morgan died in 1898 in NY and his parents are listed as William and Mary Morgan on his death certificate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am the gg granddaughter of Patrick Curry and Mary Morgan.
