	Trying to locate the birth place in Ireland for John Flood and Sarah McCann. Here is my Flood family from the 1860 Census (birth dates are interpolated): John Flood (born 1824) Sarah wife (born 1829) William (born 1852) Eliza (born 1854) Mary Jane (born 1856 Catherine (born 1858) Later married Lawrence Hanley Eliza 32 (born 1828) Sister? Bridget 75 (born 1785) John’s Mother? Mary Ganley (born 1820) Sister? John and Sarah McCann flood were married in 1850.  I’d like to see if we can connect our two lines.  We don’t know where our Floods came from so your Longford info is interesting.  I have other lines from Longford (Gorman, Heslin, McKeon). Our Floods lived on Mulberry St. and here are the neighbors in 1890 (note Sarah is still alive but John has passed). 1890 NYC CENSUS Flood Sarah, wid.

They all lived in the Mulberry/Mott street area of NYC in the 1850's.  Other connected/related families were Reynolds, Hart, Clarke, Tierney, Biglein, Tobin.
