Michael Connolly was a son of Richard |Connolly and he married Mary Ellis in the Star of the Sea Church Sandymount on 1 July 1878. He was my grandfather and they had 16 children, not all of whom survived childhood. Shiraz

Richard & Elizabeth had a number of children they were Michael, Mary, John, Richard and Ellen. As I mentioned at the beginning, it's Richard the father's origins that I am interested in finding out about. This refers to the period prior to 1840 when his father William signed the lease for the smallholding at Ovidstown. In that year Richard would have been about 6 years old.

As you can see Michael & Mary were brother and sister and the possible godparents of John.

Sometimes you have to widen the net to catch earlier ancestors  ;)
