As per her marriage certificate, Elizabeth McPartland was the daughter of Patrick McPartland and Bridget (Lydia) Dugan. Both Patrick and Bridget immigrated from Ireland. However, I have no record of them knowing each other before immigration. Bridget immigrated with her family and appears to have met Patrick when he immigrated and moved to Genesee County, New York.
Patrick and Bridget had the following children:
Thomas (1857-1948)
m. Mary Ann O'Keefe
Mary Ann (1859-?)
James (1863-1946)
Joseph (1866-1946)
John (1866-?)
(John and Joseph were twins)
Jane Ellen (1868-1913)
also called Jennie
Catherine (1870-1971)
m. James Cassidy
Elizabeth (1873-1938)
m. Francis O'Keefe
Edward (1876 - ?)
Frances (1878-1908)
also called Fanny; m. William Gratrick

A Double Link: McPartlands & O'Keefes
One of the best things about having this blog is finding cousins! I recently connected with Kay Wright (through her cousin, Joe Cassidy, another happy "find" through this blog), who has provided me with lots of new information!
In a previous post (1/9/07) I listed the family of Cornelius O'Keefe and Mary Morgan. For three of their children, I also noted that I needed additional information. For their oldest daughter Mary, Kay was able to provide that:
This means that there were TWO O'Keefe/McPartland marriages in the family! Mary Ann O'Keefe & Thomas McPartland in 1893 and Francis O'Keefe and Elizabeth McPartland in 1897 (see previous post)!
I will be posting more of Kay's clippings in future posts.

Mary Ann married Thomas McPartland 21 June 1893. She died in 1908.
You will find further info in the news clippings I am mailing to you.
