Hello gloss
I also have Connollys from Cavan from the parish of Annagh . My great great grandfather Michael married Rose Brady in 1852 . They had 6 children one of whom was called john . Also when their daughter Mary was born in 1853 her sponser was John Connolly . I wonder if Michael and John were brothers ?
Let me know what you think  :)
Mrst

Gloss,

My family are the names you have given, who came to Australia in 1859.  My gg grandfather was Thomas & his brother & 2 sisters came out after to settle in a town called Tenterfield NSW.  There were also 2 sisters who immigrated to Canada then onto USA (Iowa) along with their mother.
I live in Australia.
I have been researching for many years & have never come across anyone else researching my family.  I came across this site by accident.  Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Gloss,
Forgot to tell you.  On immigration it stated Thomas came from Kingscourt, Co Cavan & John, Ellen & Julia it stated from Larah, Co Cavan.
I have their baptism  from Kingscourt, Co Cavan.

Gloss,
We know each other.  I was excited when I first saw posting as I thought it could have been someone in Ireland.   I also grew up in Tenterfield & your mum still lives there?
