My great gma was Kate BANNON, b 1854, d/o Michael BANNON & Mary GOREY. She married John KELLY, s/o Arthur KELLY & Alice, (unkn). They married in Trim 1871 & had a son, Michael in 1872, came to Jersey City, NJ, USA in 1873.
Michael BANNON & Mary GOREY had 3 other children that I know of born Trim, Meath:
Anne, b June 1856, Baptism Sp: John MURPHY & Julia CONNELL
Laurence, b Aug 1861, Baptism Sp: Thos GAUGHRAN & Rose NEWMAN
Mary, b Aug 1862, Baptism Sp: Thos CLARKE & Mary NEWMAN
Any info on BANNON &/or GOREY would be welcomed.
I do not have any other info on John KELLY, except his parents names. Do not know of siblings. He worked as a land steward in Phillistown for the MOFFETT family and Kate was a servant in same household before they married.
Arthur KELLY was also a land steward according to John's civil marriage cert.

Hi,
Thanks for your message and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.
You seem to have a lot of work done on your family history! Have you looked through church records for any record of the birth/baptism of any possible siblings?
Most Catholic Records are held locally. One website which may help you is the irishtimes websites. Here they give an overview of what records ar available in specific parishes. For Trim, follow this link:
For Church of Ireland Records, check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
Do you know much about John's emigration? Generally, more informtion was given at the port of arrival rather than that of departure. If you knew which city he arrived at, it may be somewhere you could find information on him. A good place to start looking through such information in the US, is the US National Archives at the following link:
http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/
Some other websites which may help are
The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/
The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
and
Family Search: https://familysearch.org/
I hope some of these links help, and that they may direct you somewhere that you haven't already looked!
Kind regards,

Sorry it has taken so long to respond, but I just saw this, 3 years later. Iwas in Ireland 3 years ago & walked the land & was in the homes my great grandparents worked & lived. Very emotional to say the least. I'm still looking for John's parents, Arthur Kelly & Alice, unkn. Thanl you for the time you took to help me.
