Good morning everyone!

I am a south Philly girl, now a Georgia Peach, doing research on the
following family lines:

QUINN, Patrick, born 1847 in Longford Ireland lived in Philadelphia with his
wife Elizabeth Robinson. Patrick died in 1925, Elizabeth in 1904.

NESBITT, Margaret Adelaide Winnifred, born in Belfast around 1888, came to
Philadelphia in 1907. Married John Alexander Beck in 1908.

CARLIN/CAROLAN, Anna(called Hannah), born in Ireland in 1870. Married John
Grimes in 1897. Her father was Edward Carlin. Also found links to John
Carlin, Bernard Carlin, Mary Carlin, Sarah Carlin.

GRIMES,John Patrick, born in Letrim in 1868. Had a brother, Thomas who lived
with Hannah, the seven children and John at least until the 1910 census. The
seven children were: Thomas, Joseph, John, Marie, James, Alice and Anna. All
of the children were born between 1898 and 1910. Yes, they were Catholic!

If any of these names sound familiar, I'd really appreciate a hollar!!

Thanks, and happy hunting!
