Hi Mike,
Thanks for the passport and the picture of John Richard. This is the information that Sherman gave Win, plus what I have been able to Google.
Family of Samuel Connell and Patience Levis (d. 9 March 1886) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/171407606/patience-levis-connell#source
According to the information that Sherman Connell gave my Aunt Win in the late 70s, Samuel and Patience had at least four children, my great-grandmother Mary (Minnie) Anne (1848–1913), brothers James (d. 1920) and Samuel (a haberdasher in Skibbereen; my aunt took a picture of his shop when she was there in the 30s), another sister (Margaret Jane Whitley, d. 27 June 1910, perhaps?) and his father, John Richard (1862–1935). John Richard was married to Anne L. Shephard (1869–1954) and had three children, Cecil Richard (1895–1940) married Marian Chapin, Ella Margaret (1902–1978) https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/84643859/cecil-richard-connelland Sherman J. (1911–1997?; died at age 86). He married Lola Weaver Connell (1910–2010). https://schillingfuneralhome.com/tribute/details/505/Lola-Connell/obituary.html#content-startand they had one son, Philip Richard (1941– ), who had two sons, Aaron Robert (1968– ) and Benjamin Allan (1971– ).

Thanks for the information, I was a little confused, George Connell was John Richard Connell's brother-in-law, got it straight now. I was able to find the Irish 1901 and 1911 census that shows Samuel Connell and his sister Hester working in the tailor shop in Skibbereen (If you have the photo I would love to see it) . I see his neice and nephew Gertie Whitley and Jack Whitley are also working in the shop in 1901.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Skibbereen_Urban/…John Richards sister Elizabeth Jane 'Connell' Whitley and her husband George had a pack of kids also, I see they ran a store in Schull. Interesting that Elizabeth Whitley was visiting James William Connell and his wife Mary Jane Connell on the farm in Corravoley in the 1901 Irish census.
