Thomas emigrated to America about 1851 after walking (?) 
from Clare to Cork in order to sail to New York.  Once in 
the U.S. Thomas served as an apprentice in the carriage 
trade before establish his own carriage shop in Brooklyn. 
Thomas "begat" a fine family with Helen McHugh in Brooklyn. 
This is a prized family photo of Thomas' son Thomas Edward 
Rochford, his wife Helen (McHugh) and their brood.  My late 
grandfather, Thomas Edward died 1993, is in the lower right
