| Post subject: | Corcoran's - I believe from Riverhead - Coot's Pond |
Hi all! I am from Massachusetts. I love this site! Perhaps you can assist in my search for information about my great-grandfather Patrick Corcoran and his family. He was born around 1865 in Newfoundland. Patrick moved to Gloucester, Massachusetts where her married Mary Josephine Mooney (she was also from Newfoundland, daughter of Andrew Mooney). According to his marriage certificate his father was John Corcoran and his mother's name was listed as Margaret Cummings. According to Patrick's obituary in 1911 it mentioned a brother Maurice that lived in the Boston area and brother's: Dennie, John, Thomas and a sister Mrs. James Malloy all of Newfoundland. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Best, Maureen |

We could be a connection, my grandfather, William Corcoran was born 1887 Coote's Pond, I haven't verified but I think his father was John. His brother Patrick moved to Boston area and brothers Peter and Michael moved to New York. This could explain the reason for moving, going to an uncle in the area? |

Re the Corcoran`s, my grandmother`s sister had married a Corcoran, and they live in the Boston area. However my grandmother`s maiden name was Morey, am wondering if they are related? |
