My great grandfather was James Carroll born 10 Aug 1873 Kildimo, Limerick. His father was Michael Carroll and mother was Catherine Nealon both of the Kildimo area. Their children were- Marian Carroll born 21 Jan 1872 in Kildimo, James Carroll born 10 Aug 1873 Kildimo, Bridget Carroll born 10 April 1875 in Kildimo, Margaret Carroll born 11 April 1877 in Kildimo.

Michael and Catherine were married in Kildimo on 31 July 1870. The witnesses were Peter Kennedy and Margaret Nealon.

James immigrated to NYC in 1890. He married my Great Grandmother Margaret Roche around 1900-she was also from Kildimo. She was born on 8 June 1878 in Kildimo and her parents were-Michael Roche and Mary O'Rourke/Rourke.

James and Margaret had 5 lovely daughters-no sons in the Manhattan, NY area.

James worked as a Hanson Cab Driver for a private family in the Central park area and ended up passing in 1917 of a bad case of the flu going around.

Michael Roche and Mary O'Rourke had several children -John Roche born 26 April 1864-Kildimo,Michael Joseph Roche-born 20 may 1866 in Kildimo, Mary Margaret born 24 June 1868 Kildimo, Margaret Roche born 8 June 1878 Kildimo, Thomas Roche born 9 April 1876 in Kildimo and Cecilia Roche-born 29 Jan 1882 in Kildimo.

One of my relatives also mentioned a Delia Roche-but I could not find her records and so think that Delia may have been her nickname.

I hope with the information here I can find out more. I would appreciate any help if anyone has heard anything on them or knows about the families.

Thank you,

Carol

Michael and Mary married ther in Kildimo at St. Michael's on 11 Feb 1861.
