My name is Thomas Donnelly.  I am trying to learn more about my GGGrandfather Thomas Donnelly born 1787, wife Bridget Somerville born 1801.  Records show that Bridget was born and married in Ballymacegan, Lorrha, Tipperary.  Bridget had a brother Anthony Somerville, born 1798.   Anthony immigrated to Canada in the 1820's.  Thomas and Bridget had several children born in Ireland before they immigrated to a small place called Calumet Island, (Grand Calumet) Pontiiac, Quebec, Canada, between 1835-1840.

They had following children who were born in Ireland.

Son Patrick Born 16 Mar 1824,

Son John 1831,

Son William 1831,

Son Charles 1833,

I plan to visit Ireland in the next couple of years and will go to Lorrha try and learn more about my ancestrers.  Would appreciateand any information about them.
