John Silk
Birth: 22 Mar 1859, Beech Hill, Co Galway, Ireland
Baptism: 26 Mar 1859, Bullaun, Galway
Beyond the above, almost nothing is known about John and Bridget’s first son, John. He was baptized at Ballymacward Church in Bullaun Parish. His godparents, William and Annie Mulloy, were Bridget’s brother and sister-in-law. They were the ones who moved to San Francisco first and with whom Mary and Patrick lived when they initially came here. John probably died in childhood, but there is no death record. If he survived, he did not come to San Francisco with his mother and siblings in 1884, and, like Margaret, he never appeared in any of his siblings’ obituaries.
