Patrick Connolly relatives?
« on: Sunday 27 October 13 09:06 GMT (UK) »
Hi I am looking for relatives of my great great grandfather Patrick Connolly. My great grandmother Bridget Josephine Connolly born April 7 1908 and her sister Mary Connolly who was 7 years older than her, immigrated to the US in 1925. Does anyone have any additional information on living relatives? I would love to meet them. I live in Washington, USA.

Welcome to Rootschat  :)

Is this the family in 1911? since Bridget was only 2 (her 3rd birthday would have been just days after the census night) there could also be younger siblings. Of Patrick's age is correct then he was quite a bit older than his wife.

Rootschat isn't a forum for tracing living people and we aren't allowed to post details here of anyone who could still be living. For the similar reasons the latest available census is 1911 and the online civil registration index only goes up to 1958 so it can be difficult to get recent family details online.

Yes that is the same one on the 1911 census.

Kilcoghy (Kilcogha) is in Drumlumman civil parish and the Poor Law Union of Granard. The PLU is generally the same as the civil registration district so when checking the civil index look out for Granard.

I am guessing that the 1901 census indicates that Marget is Patrick's sister since she is 48?
