Hi:

I'm researching the following:

Lowder, Leary/O'Leary, Connor/O'Connor, Cronin.

Thomas LOWDER
b. abt 1800 in IRE
married
Mary CONNOR
b. aby 1800 in IRE

son
Francis LOWDER (may also be Robert F. LOWDER)
b. 1829 in IRE
d. 1911 in Worcester
married in Cahrciveen IRE
Mary LEARY (O'Leary), daughter of Thomas O'LEARY and Julia O'CONNOR
b. 1831 in IRE
d. 1912 in Worcester

NOTE: Mary is sister to Julia O'Leary of Worcester, wife of Timothy
SHEA, mother of Ellen Shea who was b. 1877.

son
Robert Francis LOWDER
b. 1852 in IRE, d. 1933 in Worcester
married in Boston, 1874
Ellen CRONIN, daughter of William and Margaret.
b. 1853 in Ireland
d. 1885 in Worcester

son
Robert Emmett LOWDER
b. 1880 in Worcester
d. 1939 in Dorchester
brothers
Daniel (adopted), b. 1871
William. b. 1875
Francis b. 1876
Thomas b. 1878
George b. 1881
James b. 1884

Francis (or Robert Francis) Lowder arrived at Port of Boston in 1853 and
resided in Millbury for a time, as did his younger brother William. Wife
and son arrived around 1865, after he was discharged from CW service. By
1880, resided at 25 Pond Street, where family lived for at least 40
years.

Info on Ellen CRONIN (1853-1883) especially needed. I've dead-ended with
the names of her father and mother.

Also looking for info or photos from Worcester GAR.

Cheers,
James Lowder
