Well if you happen to come across a Patrick O'Connor (born 1826; married
1851 to Ellen Dolan; died 1911) please let me know! My gg-grandfather
boarded the Barque Heather Bell and arrived in NYC August 21, 1849.
Haven't been able to find much beyond this, including a marriage
certificate due to local parishes not being around in the early 1850's.

Thanks,

Mark O'Connor
