Earliest known ancestor: Daniel Driscoll lived 1800's

We cannot find a conclusive baptism record for Michael Senior that matches the approximate date of birth and his known parents.

By his US death record, Michael was born about 1855, and his parents were Daniel Driscoll and Jennie. He died in 1901 and is interred at Calvery Cemetery, Queens, NY. He married Julia Kearney 09 May 1875 at the Cathedral in Skibbereen. Her parents were Daniel Kearney and Catherine Foley. The Kearneys were in Lakelands and Hollybrook. Julia Kearney Driscoll died in 1935 and is interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington, NJ.

Known children: Jennie (Jane) (1876, Hollybrook), Daniel (1879, Hollybrook), Patrick Joseph (1882, no further information), Catherine (1885, no further information), Michael (1887, Bawnboy), John (1891, Bawnboy), and James Patrick? (1894, Kealanine).

Jennie’s baptism record is written as James (an error), with mother Julia Keating (another error).

Perhaps Jane Driscoll was the oldest sibling standing in as a Godparent in 1891.

The family moved to New York very late in 1900, slipping through both the US and Ireland census cracks.

(1913 - 2001); and James ( 1917 - 1972). Jane died June 1945 and is interred at Calvary Cemetery, Queens, New York.
