Thomas Connolly of the Townland of Drumrooghil, in the parish of Drumgoon was married to Anne Lennon of Bawn, Co. Monaghan. He had a sister Ellen who settled in Downpatrick, Co. Down. Thomas was probably born around 1825 and his father was also called Thomas.
The Census of 1821 shows five Connolly families in the Parish of Drumgoon, and five persons called Thomas Connolly.
There can be no doubt that these Connolly families are connected.
Does anyone have any information on the Connolly families of Drumgoon and how they are connected?
