Looking for relatives of Johanna Connolly , parents Patrick Connolly and Ellen McGrath.  Johanna was born in 1868 in pallasgrean.  She emigrated to Australia and married John Francis Ryan in 1902 in kalgoorlie western australia. My grandfather, John James Ryan was born in 1904 and Patrick Joseph was born in 1906.  I have photos of John Connolly and Bridget sent from Ireland in 1930-ish.  John James stayed in Australia but Patrick was taken to England and raised there.  John and Patrick had no contact ever, thanks for reading, pfr

    Hi,

    Thank you for your message.

    Have you tried looking in the 1901/1911 census records to see who was still in the area at the time? These are available online and can offer lots of useful information.  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

    Also, civil records may hold some information for you. Perhaps if you can find some names of any children etc. in the census records you may find records relevant to them in civil records. These are available  from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

    You can search the indexes to these records online at:

    https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347

    Otherwise it may be an idea to contact Limerick Genealogy centre to see if they can offer any assistance, however a fee may apply. Here is their email: research@limerickgenealogy.com

    I hope this is helpful. Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.

    Kind regards,

    Genealogy Support
