The Martin Brennan and Catherine Corcoran Family in Church Records: St. Patrick's Church, Huddersfield England, Sacred Heart Church, Notre Dame and St. Joseph Church, South Bend, Indiana
Martin Brennan and Catherine Corcoran were married in St. Patrick's Church, Yorkshire, Huddersfield England in 1849 and had a daughter Mary who was born in Huddersfield and baptised in the same church in 1851. I believe that John their first son was born in Ohio on the way to South Bend, Indiana, their final destination, where the core of this family lived their whole life.
