Foley Family in KIlkenny
« on: Friday 05 January 18 19:55 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for information on the Foley family who lived in County Kilkenny in the early 19th Century. Mary Foley married Robert Nicholson around 1840 and is my great grandmother. I believe that her brother emigrated to Illinois, USA and his descendants may have moved to Canada and to Salt Lake City. Any information would be very welcome. Thanks  ;)

Thanks, I believe that this is Robert Nicholson's and Mary Foley's son also called Robert who moved to the UK, but returned to Mooncoin and died of tuberculosis in 1904.

Unfortunately I have no marriage records for Robert Nicholson senior and Mary Foley. Their first child, Bridget was born in 1868, so I assume they married around 1867. I believe that Robert Nicholson senior was born around 1840 and Mary Foley in 1847

So that should 1860 not 1840??
