O'REILLY CAVAN

[aakarlhamo]

Hi

My Ancestry DNA highlighted my birth father's family, I was adopted out as a baby.  It also showed that I am more Irish than I am English 

I am discovering that it can be quite hard researching Irish ancestors so I am hoping that someone can help me open up his family and maybe go back further.

My GT Grandfather was Edward O'Reilly abt 1855 Cavan and his wife Margaret abt 1857 Leitrim - sorry no surname. I have nothing apart from the 2 documents below:

Edward was a farmer according to the 1901 and 1911 census:

1901 a farmer living  at 8 FAHANGRAVE, ARVAH, CAVAN with wife Margaret and 4 children, neice Maggie Curran 24 Leitrim, 3 visitors and 4 servants.

1911 a farmer living with his wife, 4 children, 4 servants and 2 borders at Rahaghan Ave Cavan. 

Kate O'Reilly  is my grandmother and she married George McKeon.  Her part of the tree is pretty much resolved.  Kate and George moved to Enfield and the family are picked up on the 1939 Register.


Thank you
Carole
