Hi Lynn,
James Kilroe on your list is my grandfather on my mother's side. I've just discovered the 1911 census and have been looking up some of my family also. I don't know the answers to your questions myself but I know some of my aunts will know more if you don't get to follow it up with Chris.
Chris, am I right in thinking your father (or you) are living in Ballycommon? My mother's maiden name was Kathleen Kilroe and her brother is Mick.
Margaret

Hi Lynn,
I am researching my paternal great great grandfather, Richard Kilroe. Kilroe is a very rare name here in the US. I though perhaps there may be a connection. Richard Kilroe immigrated to New York City in 1857 with his second wife, Eliza(beth) nee Webb. His first wife was Jane Kolly/Kolby?? who died in Ireland. Records I have found in this country have listed his birth place as Kings County, Ireland. It's possible that his marriage to Eliza(beth) was performed by Father Richard Buggy in the parish of Clonaslee in Laois. Richard and Elizabeth came here with a son, Sevian. They subsequently had children, John, Susan and Mary. According to Richard's death certificate his father was named, Michael Kilroe. His mother's name was listed as Elizabeth Webb (since this was his wife's name I'm assuming that this is an error on the part of the person giving the information). Hoping to connect with family members of this Irish Kilroe branch. Would appreciate any replies.
Eileen

Lynn,
I went to the church in Ballycommon a few weeks ago to check for you if Peter and Hester Kilroe were buried there. The graveyard surrounds the church, which was built in 1841.
There was a grave with two different headstones. The first headstone lists Esther Kilroe, died 1912 and Peter Kilroe died 1913. It seems that they died shortly after the census was taken and within a year of each other at most. No other details are given about them. That headstone also lists Katie Kilroe, died 1952 and Thomas Kilroe, died 1958.
Another headstone on the same plot lists Esther (Hester their daughter I presume) who died 21/6/1959 aged 76 and Michael who died 15/6/1971 aged 77.
One of James Kilroe's daughters (an aunt of mine) is also named Esther so it seems the name has lived on in this form, although my mother remembers they having an aunt "Het" (Hester the daughter from the census). I can take some photos to send to you when I am home over the Christmas holidays if you want. My parents live in Tullamore.
I would like to try to find out more about where Peter and Hester Sheeran came from so I will try to do some research on this when I can but it may be the new year before I have time. There are some Sheeran's listed on the census form but without knowing a bit more about Hester's family it's hard to know if they are related. I'm attaching a google map of the area with the graveyard I mentioned marked. It includes many of the surrounding placenames so you can see which of the Sheeran families lived nearby.
I hope that's been of some help.
Regards,
Margaret

Hi Margaret and Eileen,
I am sorry I have not replied to this post before, I never received notification that there had been any replies.
Eileen, I'm unsure if we have a connection or not as I have been unable to get further back than Peter and Esther so far. A bit more diggin needed here.
Margaret, So we're 2nd cousins once remove, Hello cousin. 
Thank you so much for the info, that has been a great help, it would be wonderful to actually have a photo of the gravestones too if you can manage it. The name Hester has certainly lived on, David and Margaret had a daughter Hester, she also had a daughter Hester who is my Dad's cousin.
It would be great to be able to find out more about both the Kilroe's and Sheerin's, no rush, I know what it's like when life gets in the way. 
Regards
Lynn
