My maternal great-grandfather was William B McGowan, b Oct 1862 in CT, d 1933; wife was Mary E Higgins, 1862-1905; 6 children, the third was Henry J McGowan, 1895-1935, my grandfather. William's father was James McGowan,  abt. 1836-1896, born in Ireland (maybe County Longford). James, who apparently was also known as Tom, and his wife Mary lost 5 of their 7 children in the diptheria epidemic in Stonington in 1878. (William and Julia survived.) Looking for more information on James and his family in Ireland, and would appreciate any assistance.
