My Annie Claffey didn't come to the U.S. Her daughter, Annie Byrnes (Brown) Burns (she married Brown, then Burns) came to the U.S. in 1886. Her death certificate in New York indicates she was born in Ireland to Michell (Michael) Byrnes and Annie Claffey
in Sept of 1861, so would assume Claffey and Byrnes were born in the 1830-40's.
Annie Byrnes married John Burns, of Coleraine, Ireland, in the U.S. 1880-1881.
