Hello,
I live in New York and I am looking for information on John and Thomas Fallon who were born in Mayo Ireland. John was born in 1877, Patrick in 1882 (married Bea King), Thomas was born in 1885, James was born in 1896 (married Ellen Jennings). They lived in Slievenabrehan. I have been in contact with relatives of Patrick's and James was my grandfather but I have had no luck in tracing John and Thomas. I was told that they may have went to work in the coal mines in Wigan. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
James Fallon

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The 1911 census for Slievenabrehan shows that either John or Thomas was deceased by 1911. http://census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003000460/
I would suspect John. I would check the English 1911 census to see if you can find Thomas. By the way, your grandfather was born in April 1894. I also located a 1932 death record for the father but did no locate a record for the mother Ellen.
