Kilkenny / Re: Downey & Ring & Bergen family of Conahy
« on: Saturday 06 February 21 00:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hey Everyone!
I am looking into my family tree and I saw that some on here are in the same boat I am. Curious if anyone has information on Anastasia O'Hearn - married to Patrick Downey. These fine folks would be my Great (x4) Grandparents, through their son Thomas. Thomas Downey would eventually marry Catherine McLean making them my Great (x3) Grandparents. Then through Thomas and Catherine, they would be parents to Elizabeth Downey. Elizabeth married Donald Gillis making them my Great (x2) Grandparents. Elizabeth and Donald would then have Thomas Gillis, my Great (x1)Grandfather. Thomas Gillis would marry Mary Quilty making them my Great Grandparents. They would have Mary Theresa Gillis, my Grandmother. Mary would marry John Roderick MacPherson, having my mother, Joann MacPherson.
I have some info on Patrick Downey in case anyone needs it and or can correct any incorrect info.
Birth: 1784 - Ballyragget, Kilkenny, Ireland
Death: 1868 - Codroy Valley, Newfoundland, Canada
Father: Martin Downey (1753-1805)
Mother: Mary Martin (1755-1820)
Spouse: Anastasia O'Hearn (known as the matriarch of the Downey family in the Codroy Valley)
         B: 1786 Kilkenny, County Kerry, Ireland
         D: Oct 9, 1865 - Codroy Valley, Newfoundland, Canada
    Father: ? anyone know
    Mother: ? anyone know
    Other: Patrick and Anastasia were married Sept 7, 1804 (1809). They were married at the Roman Catholic Basilica in St John's, Newfoundland. They had 9 children: Bridget, James, Catherine, Anne, Mary, Elizabeth, Anastasia, Michael and Thomas.
If anyone else has any info on Anastasia O'Hearn or Patrick Downey, I would be forever grateful. Thanks!

Maggie
