Notes for JOHANNA GREANEY:
Johanna, an only child as near as we can find. Michael, if I have the right one, married a second time on 1 May 1889 in Exeter to Mary Weaver.

Michael is buried in his sisters' lot, with Margaret Doody and husband and children and his stone reads "grandpa" instead of uncle.... he was not buried with his daughter and family in the Patrick C. Broderick lot nearby. It is unknown if wife Julia Broderick came or stayed in Ireland.

Notes for PATRICK C. BRODERICK:
Cornelius had one only child: daughter Johanna May 8, 1908. Single. Raised by #2 child Catherine. #3 child Michael it is unknown if any offspring by either lst or second wife therefore line might be dead ended.

1900 Federal Census shows Julia and Johanna as born in New Hampshire, others all born in Ireland.
1910 Federal Census shows Patrick emigrated in 1887 with the "family". It also shows that Johanna (Graney) emigrated in 1864, therefore she had to have been about 7 years old in 1884. If the first 3 kids were born in Ireland, obviously Johanna Greaney had to have returned to Ireland, gotten married to Patrick C. Broderick, raised 3 kids in Ireland then re-emigrated with the family in 1887.
