HAYES/MASON - County Clare & Chicago, IL

Post by dujie_42 » Thu Jul 23, 2015 7:31 pm

Finding Fr. Denis HAYES as the priest baptizing some of my MASON family in Chicago, I wondered if he could be related
to my gr gr grandmother, Bridget HAYES m. James MASON, in Parteen parish, Co. Clare 1830 (witness Norry/Hanora Hayes) . I haven’t found proof, but did find all the information listed below. Thought it might be of interest to someone and to possibly connect with someone from my HAYES line
which include these HAYES named as baptismal sponsors:
Edmond 1835 & 1838, James 1832 & 1841, Judith 1846, Bridget 1841, Michael 1837 & 1845and William 1851.
Known MASON/HAYES residences Cloonaughter, Athlankard, Parteen,

Judith Mason
