Mail. diane.tempest@btopenworld.com Ulster-American Folk Park, Castletown, Omagh, County Tyrone, BT78 5QY Ireland Dear Sirs/Madam I have been corresponding with Aiden Lawes of the Public Record Office about Irish coming to England. I also sent him some letters that I have from my G G G Uncle to my G G G Grandfather in 1864, he went to New York and the other two brothers came to London. They left Dublin about 1848 and I have John and Maria in the 1850 Census in New York I also have Maria who married a Fitzgerald in 1880 She is the head of household and mother is living with her. Also her brother Charles. The son George I have not found in spite of the fact that John told his brother to send letters to his address. I found the Umbrella makers that he mentioned but nothing else out of Ireland. I do hope that these letters are of interest to you. The originals are in very poor condition but I have them stored in acid free sleeves. Yours sincerely Diane Tempest. Transcribed by Jonathan EngstrandClose
