I am researching my GGG-Grandparents, Daniel Conway and Ellen Devine. Daniel died on a ship returning from Ireland in 1887 after visiting his birthplace in County Longford. He owned a livery stable in New York City for many years, and although I believe he emigrated to NYC in steerage class, he died a relatively wealthy man. His obituary states that he was a long-time Land Leaguer.
Daniel Conway - b. btw 1817-1826, County Longford, Ireland, d. 27 Jul 1887, Shipboard returning from a visit to Ireland, buried: Calvary Cemetery, Long Island, NY
Father: Daniel Conway Mother: Mary Vaughn
Ellen Devine - b. ca 1830 County Longford, Ireland, d. Mar 1885, New York, New York, buried: Calvary Cemetery, Long Island, NY
Father: John Devine Mother: Mary (Polly) Brady
Brother: James Devine, b. ca 1837 Ireland, d. Mar 1904, buried: Calvary Cemetery, Long Island, NY
Any help locating and verifying the parents of my GGG-Grandparents will be most appreciated.
