Ancestors are William Corbett from Rathfarnham, Dublin, Ireland, immigrated in 1850 to Canada, married Margrett Gannon in Cass County, Indiana in 1853. We know from Searching for Missing Friends Irish Immigrants Advertisement in The Boston Pilot 1831-1920, in Feb 1854 he was looking for brothers Joseph Corbett (last in New York in 1853) and Thomas Corbett (last in New Orleans in 1856). He had a sister Dora Corbett Bray in Cleveland, OH. We also found a "Mary Corbett Haugh" in Indiana, likely a sister. William's year of birth was 1824. Mary's was 1835 or 1838. Tombstone has 1838. If we found the correct Dora Bray, her date of birth was abt 1835. We have no ages for Thomas or Joseph.
We "Believe" their parents may have been Richard and Bridget Egan Corbett but we need more info on parents to link these siblings to these parents. Thanks.
