This is a bit of a long shot, but I have John Millar who married Sarah Devlin in Joymount Presbyterian church on 01 Nov 1845. They had two children Isabella b 6 Dec 1863 and Patrick b 1861. Could your Margaret Ann and my John be related?

Hi I am looking for Daniel Connolly, Son of Patrick Connolly and Catherine Reilly born in Bantry on 16 Aug 1872. I am unable to find any baptism records or any additional details about this family.

His siblings seems to be born in differing places through Cork;
Edmund (Edward) Connolly b21 Feb 1871 Carricknavar? Co Cork
Mary Connolly b 29 Mar 1875 Co Cork
Patrick 27 Nov 1879 No 2 Co Cork

The family appear in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales in 1891 census but prior to that must have been in Ireland - can anyone help with any information that can fill in the blanks please?

Hello,

If they were all born in Ireland, what records do you seek? Do you have any civil marriage records?

please can someone help I am trying to tace the Conolly/Connelly family that originated from Bandon? in Co Cork to Merthyr Tydfil sometime around 1870/1880. I think it was Patrick and Catherine Connolly (b 1846) who had Edward Connelly(b1872), Daniel (b1874) Mary (b1871) and Patrick (b1880) all born in Co Cork. In the 1901 census RG 13/5030 Folio 106 pg 9 they are listed as living at 305 High St Penydarren, Catherine died 27/5/1901 (widow of Patrick). By the time that my direct anscestor married (Daniel Connolly) on 5/2/1910 at the Roman Catholic Church in Dowlais to Elizabeth Morgans he was living at Mayfield Terrace, Penydarren. I have been told that Daniel was a staunch Roman Catholic and worked in the coal mines. My grandfather was born on 3/2/1916 at Warren Hill, Britton Ferry, Neath, he is listed as Edmund Connelly but married as Edward Connolly! where do I start?

In addition another brother has been found John b 1873 who married Hanora McCarthy Jan 1/4 1893 in Merthyr. Any information on Hanora is proving elusive........can anyone help please?

Thank you I have this link, but mary ann white and Jane White are listed as unmarried.

I thought following the males would be easy but they are proving to be elusive!

I can find no trace of william white, he disappears completley?
