Names of Siblings Margaret (b. 1824), Mary (1824), William (c. 1828), Honora (1833) and Patrick (1846). The long gap between Honora and Patrick looks suspect, but I have the baptism records that identify James and Elizabeth as the parents of both Honora and Patrick. VIEW SOURCE
Spouse (First Name/s and Maiden/Surname) Patrick O'Brien. Patrick was also an Irish immigrant who landed in NY City c. 1840 and remained there for life. I believe Patrick and Frances met after they emigrated to New York City. Frances and Patrick likely married between 1850 and 1853. VIEW SOURCE
