Events

Event Date Place Description Sources
Birth May 1850 Ireland   1a
Event Note

John's marriage record says he was born about 1838
What is probably his 1870 census says he was born about 1838
His death record says he was born about 1847
His 1900 Census says he was born in May 1850

I believe John was considerably younger than his wife Catherine, so the reported ages are probably not always correct for either of them
