Looking for any information on the Conry's of Roscommon, specifically Jane Conry daughter of Mathew Conry of Kindrum. Country Roscommon.

Married John William O'Fallon 1831, Jane was born about 1810.

There does exist a marriage settlement deed between the O'Fallons and the Conrys Circa 1831.

Thank you.

Hi heywood
Thanks for your interest in the O'Fallons, perhaps we may get there in the end
I have all the USA information, most of it coming from George Duffy, all my other contacts in the UK have based most of theirs on Duffy also, i think he started in the 50's, he is a descendant of the Keogh's.(Alicia marries John Keogh 1859 Hackney, emigrates, dies Old Forge Pennsylvania 5/10/1876)
Regarding Jane Conry the USA data is as follows.
John William O'Fallon B Athlone Roscommon abt 1805, thought to have died 3/3/1838 (I am suspicious of this data, if correct childrens birth dates look wrong for Mathew Redmond abt 1838 and Charlotte 1838-1840, JW Jnr. 1834 and Alicia 1838 or he is not the right JW O'Fallon snr.)
Married Jane Conry 1831 Duaghter of Mathew Conry of Kindrum. Co. Roscommon, as revealed in the index of Marriage License Bonds, Diocese of Elphin. LDS film No. 0100868. She was born 1810.
There does exists a marriege settlement deed between the O'Fallon's and the Conry's Circa 1831. It is thought to be among the Registry of Deeds in Dublin and the LDS church are thought to have a microfilm of it No. 0100868
The link to the Mc Donell's is that Peter married J W O'Fallon Snr sister Maria thus becoming the Auntie and Uncle and it was them that took the two girls to London,that fact i have proven on UK census 1851.
One very interesting detail i found which is very much a long shot, i found a Jane Conry in the 1841 census, Birmingham, right age,right time, right name if returned to maiden name, but no marriage or death cert for UK,did she then emigrate/return to Ireland ??
There is so much mystery surrounding this family that is makes it virtually impossible to leave this investigation alone, most of the decendants have given up.
With kind regards

I have found some notes i received from another distant relative of the O'Fallons, and it says your GGrandfather William Redmond had 10 children so you must by now have 100's of relatives.
It looks like we share the same GGGrandfather John William born Athlone Roscommon abt 1805 and his wife Jane Conry who he married abt 1831 that is missing from all relatives research and its this pair that i am keen to get any information.
Are you in touch with any O'Fallons still left in the Liverpool area ? if so they may have some information handed down over the years.
I live down on the South Coast in a place called Seaford,don't think there is any O'Fallons down here but there must be relatives still in Liverpool area as this is where many of the Irish families settled in the late 1800's

Hi heywood
Thanks for your interest.
I think something happened to their parents, but no real idea what.
John William emigrated to Canada/USA in about 1850. Have traced him.
Mathew Redmond went to Liverpool at about 1848/1850. Died West Derby District 1902
Alicia and Charlotte Chadwick(My GGrandmother) were taken to London by their Uncle Peter Mc Donnell and his wife Marie(nee O'Fallon) In 1851 Census they were all living at 27 Claremont Terrace St. Pancras. ages given Alicia 16 years and Charlotte 9 Years, both give birthplace as Dublin, both boys birthplace given as Roscommon.
I am of the firm belief that somebody knows what happened to the parents, they could not just have gone missing, it was the time of the famine with little or no records kept in Ireland, but the Mc Donnell's must have known and told members of the family, but it has been kept a very close secret.
