Wish I could help you, and I will keep a look out, but I am looking for origins in Ireland of Dennis Donoghue 1 and his wife Ellen or Eleanor Donoghue. Dennis 1 was "a sailor lost at sea" and thereafter Ellen migrated from Barnsley, Yorkshire, England (where was she in Ireland before that? is the ultimate question) with her son Dennis Donoghue 2 to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in either 1824 or 1834. Ellen was buried in the St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church cemetery in 1857. That church's first priest was Rev.Terrence J. Donaghoe (native of Aughnacloy, Co Tyrone)-- could he have been related to her deceased sailor? But Dennis 2 married in Methodist church in 1841 a Jane Sergeson from County Down who had emigrated in 1830s to Philadelphia with her parents and siblings.
Ellen's cemetery deed also spells her name Donahoe, Donogho.
