Corr/ Yore

Something doesn't add up here.  If John was born in 1868, then he was only 14 when he and Mary moved to the US in 1882, with their 7 children. Are sure this information is correct?

The name John Corr is fairly common in Ireland and there are quite a few who married a Mary, but not Mary Yore. Mary Yore is an uncommon name. There are only a few marriages in the period 1864 to 1890, and none married a John Corr.

I see from the PGS public tree on Ancestry that the children are all listed as being born in the USA, 1891 onwards. If John went to the US in 1882, then it seems most likely he married there. Have you checked that?

In that case, you will need to try and get their parents names from sources in the US (eg marriage or death records), to narrow the search in Ireland, especially for John as the name is common. For Mary there is a birth registered in Ardee, Co Louth  in 1867 Vol 2, page 420, but again you need her parents names to know if it?s the right one.

There is a John Charles  Corr, born 24 December  1862  Drumcree county Armagh and according to ancestry.com he was married to Mary A Yore who was also born in county Armagh according to www.rootsireland.ie

He was baptised in Drumcree , county Armagh according to the site I mentioned above ( Roman Catholic)

Johns father was Charles John Corr, and his mother Isabella McShane

Johns date of emigration 1882 at age 16, marriage 1891 in the USA to Mary Yore

Looks like Drumcree is your answer, hope this helps
