Seeking ANY/ALL information on Thomas Frank McElroy born April, 11, 1830 in Millwood, Fermanagh, Ireland. Thomas emigrated to the United States in 1850 & landed in Charlestown, Mass.
Thomas met his wife Bridget Mary Leahy (supposedly of Limerick, Ireland) & they married in Salem, Mass on Feb 27, 1859.
Thomas & Bridget had at least 13 children (3 of which died very young) & most of their children went on to marry, have children & by all accounts lead productive lives. These McElroy's were very civic minded & those stories have played out in newspapers since newspapers were invented.
I have ZERO information on Thomas Frank McElroy's parents & their origins & this is the information I have hit a brick wall with. I have even less reliable information on Bridget's origins than I do for her husband. Additionally, I am seeking ANY/ALL information on Thomas's Bride, Bridget Mary Leahy, who was supposedly born in February of 1837 (or 1841).
Unfortunately, Bridget did make the newspapers in Providence, RI on May 2,1893 (as she was one of the victims during an attack with a razor, upon her family, by her son Edward Joseph McElroy. Bridget survived the attack & passed away (after a long illness) on the EXACT SAME day she was attacked & 34 years later, May 2, 1927.
Thomas Frank McElroy aka The Duke of Glenmere in Lynn, Mass passed away on 12/30/1922 having lived to the ripe old age of 92.
