Would you know where in Ireland Maggie was born,?
I have many O'Donnells from Ireland, primarily Co Donegal, and Co Cork,
I have a Maggie O'Donnell as well, but not yours, mine was born in 1875 to James O'Donnell and Susan Doherty of either Carndonagh or Glenmakee. James was born in 1845 as was Susan, and they married in 1866 at Sacred Heart Church in Carndonagh and had several other children besides Maggie.
Patrick 1867
John 1868 immig to MA m Bridget Long
Neal 1871 immig to Ma m Rose McGonigal
Mary Ann O'Donnell July 28 1873 immig to Mam Patrick Bradley May 1864 (they were my grandparents)
Denis O'Donnell 1878 immig to MA m Catherine McLaughlin, and later Mary Doherty
Philip ODonnell 1880 immig 1897
In Co Cork John O'Donnell hi wife Elizabeth Canrey and 3 sons Peter about 1838, Patrick 1844, and John F 1854.
John F m Bridget Doherty d of Neil Doherty 1838 and his wife Mary Coats 1838, and had 2 other daughters besides Bridget. Ellen 1860 and Mary 1862.
Bridget and John F m in Carndonagh Co Donegal Jan 1861, and immig to MA April 1881, settled first in Stoneham MA, and later in No End of Boston which at that time was a big Irish Community. They had 9 children.
The Two families were cousins, but I have yet to figure out on which side (O'Donnell or Doherty).
Thank you and good luck
