Hello!

My name is Bill Nicholas and I live in Glen Cove, New York, USA.

Looking for relatives of great grandfather John Nicholas (born 24 Dec 1872, Monaleen), son of Patrick and Margaret Dwyer Nicholas. Visited Annacotty this past June and met John Nicholas, owner of The Black Swan pub.

We think we are distantly related through Patrick Nicholas and a Michael Nicholas. Found out Nicholas' are in Murroe. 

I think Patrick Nicholas' father and mother were George and Ellen Barry Nicholas. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Bill Nicholas

  • Miriam,

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    I will follow up on the baptismal links you sent. When I met John Nicholas in Annacotty, he had a faint recollection of a George and Ellen Barry Nicholas when we were discussing our possible connection. If he can confirm Michael Nicholas' date of birth (1831) then the likelihood of the two of us being related increased drammatically.   

    I can assure you I will be heading back to Limerick during our next trip to Ireland based on this information!

    You have been beyond helpful. 

    All the best,

    Bill Nicholas

  • Miriam,

    Please refer to the email string. You had helped me in 2019 to find out if John Nicholas from Annacotty and I were related by providing information about a George and Ellen Barry Nicholas. George and Ellen had several sons, Michael, William, John, and Patrick. I believe you indicated Michael was the oldest and Patrick was the youngest. I am actually now in touch with Michael Nicholas family members here in the States. 

    Could you be so kind to see if you still have that email string with the information you provided?

    Thank you very much.

    Best,

    BIll Nicholas
