Ed and Jim, I am interested in the Spollens as you know. I have finally learned my Berry connection to the Conlons. My gg grandfather Thomas Conlon married an Anne Berry in 1847 in Tubberclaire. My Great grandfather was a Micael born in 1850. His sponsors were a Patrick Dunne and a Catherine Berry.
I spoke with my father and he mentioned in knew the Frank Spollen who owned the store across the street from the church. He also asked if either of you were related to a Joe or Bartle Spollen who lived in US for awhile that owned a sand pit and made cement?
he also told me about an "Old" Paddy Spolen born about 1880 that lived in the gate house of Bunown? he had a son named Larry the Topper Spollen and a son nick named the Nucker. They were very good horsemen! The Topper moved to America.
Where do you two live? Do you have anyone in Tubberclaire Parish that has internet that could visit the church for info? Thanks Bob

Nipy, Thanks for your help. My Conlons are from Bunown in 1850 time frame in Lissahillen or Lissakillen. There are other conlon families in the area that I have not connected to yet except through marriage. Thomas and Anne Berry marry in Tubberclaire on Oct 24 1847. My great grandfather Michael is born in May 1850. Other siblings could be Catherine, William, Mary, Patrick and possibly more. My g grandfather marries an Elizabeth Carty on Sept 17,1879. They have an Anne, Joseph, Patrick, Thomas, William, Michael, Margaret, and at least two more daughters. One becomes a nun and one marries a Tracey. Anne Marries a Ganley. Anything that can be added like birth dates, deaths or marriages for the children and their sponsors would be of great help. I owe you one. I can't wait for your reply. Take care, Bob

Hello Bob,
To answer your question about Jim and I being related to Joe and Bartle Spollen. The answer would be yes. I am sure that Jim is more closely related than I. I think he is 2nd cousin to many and I am 3rd.
Unfortunately, my research didn't start until 10 years ago. My grandmother would get upset when I asked her questions about Ireland when I was young, she would start to cry as she missed Ireland. So I picked up bits and pieces of information when she talked with my mother about the old days.
My grandmother was one daughter of William Spollen and Bridget Tracey from Bunown. Notice my great-grandmother's maiden name, another possible connection as you mentioned a Tracey in your recent post.
William Spollen was originally from Tubberclair, and Bridget and William married there in May 11, 1873.
While visiting Westmeath in 2003, we met the Spollen's in Tubberclair and also Fr. Seamus Mulvany. Fr Mulvany mentioned to me that many pages are missing in the Parish records, so, some things just can not be confirmed.
Please send me a private message with your current e-mail so we can continue our research and trade info.
EdH

Mary Derry, you sent me a note about a Rose Conlon b 4/7/1870 in Glasson some time back. Her parents were an Edward Conlon and a Bridget Carty. Where did you find that? Is she related to you? Also I noticed you have McLaughlins from Moville. I may have a connection with you on that front. Thanks Bob

Hi Bobby,
You are doing great work and, having just found this site I am enthralled by it. My name is Tom Conlon (age 50). My father was also Tom Conlon. He was born in Lisahillen (in 1916, I think) died when I was young and Ididn' get to find out much about his side of our family. My grandfather's name was John Conlon from Lisakillen and I imagine / am almost sure some of his siblings emigrated to USA...
I am only finding my feet on this site, but if í get the hang of it í 'll do my best to keep in touch...
My grandmother on my mother's side was Carty, and I feel sure she was one of the Cartys you talk of; She had many relatives in USA...
My interest in this is quite real, double-barreled,
and always fascinating; oh to have the time to chase it up a bit more...
Best wishes, keep up the good work and bye for now
Tom (sometimes Tomas ) Conlon

Tom, I have a Great uncle who was a Thomas. His wife was a Nora Carty! YThey were from Lissahillen infact which is bizarre because I don't know of a John Conlon. Who was his dad and what were his dates of birth and death? Where do you live? I have to ask my dad about this info! Stay in touch! BC

Hi folks, i came across this site purely by accident. I dont know if I can help in anyway. My grandfather was born in the 1920s in Bunown. He was John Conlon married to May Cantwell (from Rahan). My Uncle still lives in Bunown and would probably be a good source of info if I can get hold of him. I would need to ask my Father or Uncle about further back from that.
