  GEORGE HICKSON

  dob: 1874
  pob: Holyoke, MA
  father: John Hickson
  mother: Johanna Moriarty ??

  A Mary Hickson went to Ireland from Holyoke prior to 1898. She married John Kennedy in Ireland before marrying Michael Browne of Kilshannig. Is it possible that John Hickson and Johanna Morairty emigrated from Kilshannig to Holyoke prior to Mary's birth in 1874 and then returned to Kilshannig before Bridget was born in 1877? Could one of the Hickson girls have been the nun in Northampton that was mentioned in Mary Petersen's interview?


George and Mary Hickson, above, are probably not children of the same John Hickson and Johanna Moriarty as below.
