to match the info about the child Timothy, here is the 1860 US census for the household showing ages and places of birth

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MZCF-5Q4

Ward 2 Worcester, Worcester, Massachusetts, United States

Patric Long M 35 Ireland
Catharine Long F 33 Ireland
James Long M 7 Massachusetts
Mary Long F 6 Massachusetts
Thomas Long M 4 Massachusetts
Timothy Long M 3 Massachusetts
Willie Long M 1 Massachusetts

so if your Catherine married in Montreal in 1850, that is unfortunately not the right family

Maureen Can you PM the image to me and I will see what I can find ?

Yes. Thank you. I do have that entry.

The witnesses to the 1844 marriage were Edward Cantwell & Margaret Dwyer - not much help in finding family. The image is on Ancestry - if you don't have access, I can PM it to you.

I have hit a brick wall in researching Irish, American and Canadian records attempting to trace part of my Father's family Tree. Anne Frances Kelley was born in Montreal Canada in January 1863 to William Kelley and Catharine Ryan- both of whom were born in Ireland. Anne France Kelley's marriage license [to Francis Joseph Prendergast in 1884 in Manhattan] reveals her parents as I have indicated and also that Anne Frances was born in Montreal. I researched the Canadian records and learned that Catharine Ryan and William Kelley were married in Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal in 1850, and, that at the marriage, they were widow and widower with Catharine having previously been married to Patrick Long of Tipperary. I checked through rootsireland.ie and found that Catharine Ryan and Patrick Long married May 3 1844 in Holycross, Tipperary. I can find no documents showing either leaving Ireland, arriving in Canada, or Anne Frances coming into the United States. According to rootsireland, Holydross parish did not maintain records before 1835 so I cannot locate Catherine Ryan's birth or other children. Can anyone help? Maureen Prendergast [pineau]
