Julia T. Coffey

GEDCOM Note

From Mitchell Townsend, closest DNA match on 23 and me, regarding Julia Coffey: I have a Jeremiah Coffey listed as her father on the marriage certificate, and Julia Connor as her mother. I don't have her birthplace, but it must have been in Kerry somewhere.

• ************************Hi Stephanie My maternal grandmother, Julia Coffey, lived from 12 March 1896 to 4 October 1970. There may be some discrepancy about her DOB. The birth was reported late, and they may have changed it to avoid a fine for the late report. She married Morgan Ferris in Canada; they had eloped together because both families opposed the match. She lost 2 children early. They moved from Canada to Boston, then to NYC. My mother, Anne, had a younger sister, Margaret, and a younger brother, Morgan Jr. Neither of them married had kids.*************************My reply to Mitchell:Hi Mitchell!
