GG Grandfather Thomas Conlon married an Anne Berry in 1847. They had my Great grandfather Michael in 1850. He marries an Elizabeth Carty. Thomas and Anne both born about 1830 or earlier. Conlons and Berry marry into the Murrays, Nolans, Dooleys, Rush, McCann, Spollen, and Carty families in Westmeath. Any help is appreciated.

Hi My great great grandmother was Faith Berry from glassan toberclare area, she married a Mulvihill (dont know first name) her daughter Mary (Molly) Mulvihill who was my greatgrandmother married John Spollen and they lived directly across the road from the church in Toberclare. They raised 11 children including my grandmother Margaret "Peg" Spollen who emigrated to New York. The Spollen family still owns the cottage there. I was wondering if your Berry family is related to the Faith Berry I mentioned? I would guess she could have been a sister of your Anne Berry and lived in the area in the mid 1800's. Please let me know your thoughts and any Berry or Mulvihill info. you are aware of.
Thanks,
Jim McKillop

Hello Jim! My father is also a Bob. He was related to the Spollens but never knew how! I am betting the Faith you mention is related to my Anne Berry! When is she born? I spoke to one of your Spollen relatives with the Mulvihill connection! Are you in US?
-
Hi Thanks for responding, I am in the US on Long island. I don't have any more information on Faith Berry except what I mentioned in my previous post,other than the fact that her daughter Molly Mulvihill was born around 1865 and died in 1916. I would guess based on that information she would have had to been born 1845 or earlier ? I thought maybe your Ann Berry might have been a sister or cousin ?
Thanks for your help,
Jim McKillop

Hi Bob,
Yes John is a cousin, His father and my grandmother were brother and sister, My grandmother was Margaret Spollen (Moloney). The moderator removed your phone number so I cant call you. The reason I was asking about Faith Berry is because that is as far back as we have gotten. If you discover anything or I can help your research please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi I see you have McCann in your list of connections to Conlon from Tubberclaire. I am trying to find information on my Gr. Gr.Grandmother Rose Conlon (date of birth unknown), she married Edward McCann (born 1831) from the same area. (Edwards parents were, Patrick McCann and Mary Seery) She had a sister Mary Conlon (born 1845), who married Thomas Davis. Her father's Name was Thomas Conlon, (they were from a farming background), but I don't know anything else about other members of her family, or Edward's family. If any of this is is familiar to you or you know anything about these families, I'd be very grateful if you could share. :)
-
Hello, I am betting they are related. Rose could be a sister or close cousin to my Thomas Conlon. My father lived there and he said there was more than two Conlon families that were not related. I doubt that. Our Conlons started out from Tang Parish around 1840's. Did you ever take the DNA test?
-
Hi, thank you for replying. I thought the same when I saw your post, that Rose could be a sister, or cousin to Thomas. (Wishful thinking maybe!). I'm new to this site, I had just signed up, literally minutes before I read your post! :) :) I've been searching for Rose and her family for a very long time and getting nowhere! I don't know where my Conlons started out, I had only been told they were from Benown/Tubberclaire area. The furthest back I've been able to get is 1845, when Rose's sister Mary was born. Oh, and about the DNA test, no, I've never taken it.
-
My folks settled in Benown as well but dead end in Thomas and hate to speculate. Where do you live? I am in New Jersey USA. What do you have facts wise? How do you know of the marriages you have? My father lived there for awhile too. Bob

Hi, any info I have for Rose and Mary came from my grandmother. I do have a record from ancestry, of Mary's marriage in 1869, to Tom Davis from Kilkenny west. The marriage took place in Glasson. Rose, on the other hand, went to the US in 1857 with Edward McCann. They arrived in New York, but settled in Boston. They stayed six years, before returning to Ireland. I don't know if they married before going or when they arrived in the US. (No definite records stateside). They had two children there.(same story with records). I have records for Rose, from 1864 onwards and for Mary from her marriage onwards. Nothing before 1864, apart from Mary's date of birth. (1845).
-
Hi, forgot to mention that I' m in Ireland, in Westmeath! :) I have been in touch with the church in Tubberclair, they have nothing on Rose. They do have a record for Mary's marriage and the baptism records for her children. Nothing though to give any clues before that. Nothing in the state records either. I seem to be hitting brick walls everywhere!

My grandfather Mike Conlon born in 1895 lived in cottage across the road from the Benown House. Can you check marriage of Tom Conlon to Anne Berry in about 1847. I was hoping to see if it had there ages, parents names, and possibly sponsors. They were married in Tubberclaire. I was there in 1972. I was about to be 12. What other family names do to have as relatives? Berry, Ganly, Murray, Spollen, Berry, Carty?
-
Hi, I checked from 1845-50 for Anne and Tom's marriage, no luck yet, but I have found three baptism's that may be for their children. The first one was for Michael Conlon, baptised, 28th May, 1850, registered in Kilkenny West, for the parish's of Benown, Glasson, Kilkenny West and Tubberclair. (sponsers were Catherine Berry and Patt Dunne) Then, William Conlon, 19th February, 1854 (sponsers were Marcella Conlon and Christopher Berry) and Mary Conlon, 25th March 1856. (Sponsers were Mary Conlon and Edward Ennis) All born to Thomas Conlon and Anne Berry. Does any of this look like it could be for your Tom and Anne? The only other family names I have been given are the McCann and Davis families I mentioned in an earlier post.
-
Definitely my folks. Thanks. They also sound like yours as well with the Kilkenny West, Benown and Tubberclaire. Please keep looking and anything that mentions families above. Betting they are related to you too. Betting Conlons and Berry sponsors are siblings. By the way you never mentioned you name and age. I am Bob Conlon and 55.
-
Hi Bob, yes, it looks like they could be siblings. I thought that the sponser on the last birth I listed, (Mary Conlon) could be the Mary I'm looking for. I know she would be very young to be a sponser, but that wasn't unusual for the time. I'll keep looking, hopefully more info to come. Oh, and my name is Martina Fuery (54) :)
-
This is exciting that we may have a breakthrough. Keep up the good work. Bob
-
Hi Bob, the last time we had contact, was in July of this year, at that time, you were wondering about the marriage of Thomas Conlon and Anne Berry. (Although you may have come across the info you needed, since then) I have found the marriage, it took place on 24th October, 1847 in Tubberclair. There is nothing much recorded on the cert (no ages, parents names, occupations etc.) but the sponsers names are recorded. They were, William Conlon and Bridget Carty. Hope this helps a little Martina Fuery
-
Thank you! I did find that before! Have you taken a DNA test yet? Bob

On a recent 10/2018 trip to Ireland, we met a wonderful lady and her son. She lives in a cottage across the street from the RC Church in Tubberlair. Her name is Rose Spollen. She has a wealth of information in her head of local history and local names. I have a connection to the Spollen family but I have not quite figured out exactly how. Also I believe a connection to the Seery family. My GGGrand parents were Humphrey and Margaret (Murphy) Plant and Thomas and (Judith Lynch?) Murphy. This is my first time on this site and I am not quite sure how to navigate, but thought I might just throw this in here in case it helps.

Hi
Rose Conlon married my great great grandfather Edward McCann. I’m looking into my family tree at the moment and was delighted to see the information contained in this site. My name is George McCann son of Desmond McCann, son of George McCann, son of John McCann, son of Edward McCann.
John and Edward McCann lived in BarryMoore Kiltoom Co Roscommon house No s. 3,6 and 11. I have a Furey in the family as well. James Furey married Margaret Mary McCann sister of my grandfather George. We have Edward McCann born in 1832 and died in 1911 and Rose born in 1840 and died in 1923 approx. John McCann was born in America to Edward and Rose. They came back to Ireland and lived beside each other in BarryMoore ( beside Hodson Bay) and we’re registered in the 1901 and 1911 census forms with their children, ages etc.
