I am researching my maternal line -Corbetts from, Taughmaconnel, Roscommon. My grandfather - Thomas was born in Castlesampson, 28 Jan 1882. His parents were James Corbett and Mary Fahy (or Fahey - father was Thaddeus Fahy). My grandfather immigrated to the US (Boston) in 1908. His siblings Annie (b. 1868), Eliza (b. 1872), Catherine (b. 1874) Mary (b. 1877), Bridget (b. 1880) and Timothy (b. 1881) - all immigrated to Boston. One brother, Patrick (b. 1870) remained in Ireland - I suspect being the oldest male he inherited the farm/land. Patrick married Mary Logue. Several of their children (James, Patrick, Bridget) immigrated to Boston, and I believe Thomas, Mary and Timothy remained.
I am looking to locate any CORBETT descendants ( or Fahy or Logue), that might remain in the area or are known to anyone. I think that one of Patrick's boys, (*), may have operated or owned the Hayden Hotel and Brennan's Pub in Ballinsloe, probably until the 1970s -1980s.
