My Reddington family appeared in the Chicago,IL city Directory in late 1850's,brothers Martin and Patrick. Family lore says they came from County Galway. They were laborers and were living in what was then an Irish ghetto.
Patrick Reddington was my g-grandfather. He married Mary McNulty in Chicago and was supposed to have been a plasterer employed building Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. His children were named John,Walter,"Tessie", and "Lizzie". Could there be a connection?
I have the book on the Redington family that were the well-t0-do landowners.Not my family unless very remote relation.joan
