Whether or not an Irish Catholic like Patrick Tierney should have ever set foot in Boston, he went on to make it his home for the rest of his relatively short but very full life. However, for some reason (or several reasons) he and his family did not stay put in one residence. His children's civil birth records and many city directories indicate the places in which the family moved. Here is a timeline showing the Tierney family's known addresses in Boston beginning in 1877 (although Patrick was residing in Boston earlier): - 1877 - Rear 448 Hanover
- 1879 - Rear 442 Hanover
- 1881 - 78 Cross
- 1886-1890 - 468 Commercial
- 1891 - 66 Mercer
About 1895 the Tierney family moved to Quincy along with many other Irish immigrant families who were leaving the North End for the outskirts of Boston. Here are family's addresses in Quincy (Patrick passed away in 1900):
- 1897-1898 - 101 Quincy Avenue
- 1903-1908 - 312 Quincy Avenue
- 1909 - 52 Gay Street
- 1912-1964 - 32 Gay Street (the house pictured above)
