Searching Connolly/Connelly of Clifden
« on: Monday 09 February 15 17:06 GMT (UK) »
Anyone have information on Connolly/Connelly of Clifden?
Here's what I have:
GGGrandfather: Michael Connolly (1830-)
Wife: Bridget (unknown maiden name) (1820-1887) emigrated to Detroit, Michigan. Remarried Marshall Davis).
Children born in Ireland, presumably Clifden, emigrated to Detroit:
Mary Agnes Connolly Foley (1845-1923)
Martin Connolly(?)
Patrick Connolly (?)
John Connolly (1854-1932)
James Connelly (1856-1923) my GGrandfather. Emigrated to Detroit in 1873. Married Mary Sullivan (1860-1893) in Detroit.
Anna Connelly Coots (1861-)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There & (a delayed) Welcome

Were the family Roman Catholic ?

If so the registers are online here ~ you can trawl through them and see can you get any good matches !

Did you get Bridget's second marriage to Marshall Davis in Detroit as her maiden name should be on that ?!
