Looking for a Reilly family with children Thomas, Patrick and a John. Patrick was born 1832 or 1836 or 1830. His funeral notice said the he came from Staghall Chapel, County Cavan. He came to U.S. in 1853 and ended up in Houston, TX U.S.A. in 1868. A letter from "Cousin Janie in 1915 said that her daddy could tell night and day. This seems to be a weakness on my dad's side of the family. Uncle Thomas went to Glasgow, Scotland with the priest" according to Janie. Can anyone help me find these relatives/ Thank you.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Staghall is Drumlane RC parish. Unfortunately, baptismal records for this parish start in 1836 and there are many Reilly records in the parish. We would need to know the parents names in order to determine if any of the family were baptized 1836 or later.
Do you have any more info on Cousin Janie?
Here is some background on Staghall Chapel. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RC_Church_of_the_Immaculate_Conception,_Staghall,_Belturbet,_Co._Cavan,_Ireland_-_geograph.org.uk_-_336800.jpg
