Friday's Photo: The Home of Joseph W. and Josie Bryan Cook - 1925 - Bienville Parish, Louisiana

There are three lines of writing above and below these photos are as follows:

Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Cook's home 1925

Grandma and Grandpa's home

Where "we"all" were 

When enlarged, the writing was easy to see. However, the year was difficult to decipher—it could be 1905, 1925, or 1935, but I suspect 1925, as there were several pictures near it in the album that took place at an anniversary celebration in November 1925.

Andrew Quinn and Margaret Flanagan of Caherawoneen Near Kinvara in County Galway

Caherawoneen - 2016 [1]

Andrew Quinn, the son of James Quinn and Catherine Fahey (also seen as Fahy), was born around 1846 in the Parish of Kinvara, Townland of Caherawoneen (also seen as Caheravoneen) in County Galway, Ireland. Andrew married Margaret Flanagan on 28 November 1883 in Kinvara. Margaret, daughter of Patrick Flanagan, is said to have lived in nearby Moy. Andrew Quinn was a farmer.  At the time of the 1901 Census, Andrew Quinn was 55 years old.  He was living with his wife, Margaret, and seven children of their children. Andrew Quinn died on November 21, 1901. His burial place is unknown. [2]

For family reading this, Andrew was the brother of my husband's great-grandfather, William Quinn (1851-1903). The brothers were born in Caherawoneen along with many other Quinn family members, but by 1901, the only Quinns living in Caherawoneen were the families of Andrew and William Quinn. [3]

 

The Children of Andrew Quinn and Margaret Flanagan   

  

Mary Quinn was born on 19 October 1884. She immigrated to New York City in 1901 and by 1908 was married to James Sarsfield. They had at least five known children; Frances (Frank), Margaret, Katherine, James, and Mary. Mary died on 2 August 1970 and is buried with her husband and at least two children in Mount St. Mary’s in Flushing, Queens, NY. [4]

James Quinn was born on 11 November 1885. [5]

Bridget “Delia” Quinn was born on 4 January 1887. Delia arrived in New York City on 14 February 1910. She did not marry and lived with her sister Nora. Delia died in May of 1977 and is buried in the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Westchester County, New York.[6]

Patrick Quinn was born on 08 February 1888. He married Mary Conroy in New Quay Church on 28 February 1927. According to Owen Quinn, Patrick and Mary had five children. Daughter, Teresa, wrote in 2001 that she was born in New Quay, County Clare, but that her father was born in Caherawoneen, next door to Bid and Mick Fahy.[7]
