Connor/O'Connor Barry

Maureen:

Hello again! I'm sure you have worked through www.irishgenealogy.ie  since you identified the four births that I came up with in the parish of Annascaul. Looks like they lived in the townland of Cool.

I checked the 1852 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilgobban and found a Mary Connor in Cool. I did not know if she was Mary Ellen. Of course there are two Ellen Connor entries in the parish in other townlands so maybe the family moved?

Hi again Roger

Yes thank you, the reason I got back this far was through my research I found the probates of Jane Sheehan (nee Connor) in Sacramento which gave me information of some of her family including Michael's marriage details and their parents names, (plus their children in Massachusetts) and our own family here in New Zealand, although I already had my 2 x great grandparents in Castlegregory, Patrick Connor & Elizabeth Deen & children,  but the rest I found in the in the Church records at irishgenealogy.ie from ongoing research they did live in Knockglass, Until I found the probates I didn't have Patricks parents ,or siblings names. the Church records have helped immensley, have to wait until the civil records come back online again. although I haven't had any luck with other areas of Ireland like my Flynn's & Kelly in Roscommon, or other family from Sligo, but will keep lookingThanks

Hi Maureen, just read your message. I am in contact with an O'Connor in the US and have sent a message to see if there is a relationship between your families. Fingers crossed and hope it might be good news.

Hi Martine

Thank you, That would be great. I am in contact with one "Twig" , Michael Connor, who married Mary Curran(e) one of their sons, Thomas, but know their were other children in Boston MA, Other names of the children of Michael Connor & Ellen Barry are Terence, Thomas, Margaret, Catherine, Ellen (married Dowling or Dooling), there may be others I don't know about as not all baptisms were in registers found. there are a lot of Connor's & Barry's in that area

But I'm also looking for descendants of a son Patrick Connor & Elizabeth Deen, (Castlegregory) the two eldest sons, Michael 1847, & Thomas 1849, have disappeared.

Look forward to hearing anything 

Cheers

Hi Maureen, the contact I have says he is unrelated but another person came forward who is descended from one of the witnesses at Patrick and Elizabeth Deens marriage by the name of Maunsell. I will share this link with him and hope he will make contact with you.

It's very late now so I will get back to you again.

Martine

Thanks Martine

Yes I understand that there is a connection, but haven't found out how, yet. I look forward to hearing more

Cheers

Maureen

Hi Martine
I wonder if this is the family connection
Thomas Mansell married Honora Deen 1st March 1835
