Hi Tom and Clare,

Thank you Tom for all those links. Local knowledge is always the best. I had the marriage date - 13 feb 1866. Wit. were Anna Keating and Pat Ladegan - maybe Lonergan?

Bridget's marriage date was 23 Nov 1890 and Johanna Conway was 1 of her witnesses, I presume she was her sister born 1875, though that might have been a bit young for those times.

Do you think was Patrick a bother to James? This means that Michael (b1876) is a nephew of Patrick.

Bridget Scanlon Conway (aged 57) died on 12 Dec 1902, Bridget Redmond was the informant. She is a widow in 1901, so Patrick died sometime before 1901. He is listed as a Car owner in 1893 Directory as well as Mrs Bradshaw in Barrack St and a Thomas Conway in The Square. I also see that William had a few encounters with the law in 1905/7 and Bridget Redmond is mentioned as next of kin, so the rest of the family may have emigrated.

I'm hoping that somebody else might read these posts and know of some connection.

Thanks again

Hello, I know this reply is many moons away from the original enquiry, I think we may have a family connection! 

Hi I received your message and interested in if and how there is a link to the family, I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I am almost certain that Ellen Conway, daughter of Patrick Conway and Bridget Scanlon, is my great grandmother. Ellen had 3 children,  John Christopher and Elizabeth . Do you have your DNA on any sites? Mine is on 23andMe . 

Hello, in the year 2001 a man called Graham Kennedy, posted the Conway/Scanlon details on Ancestry.com Do you have a connection with him? I have DNA in common with family’s named Farrell on 23andMe me. I wonder if you too are related to them. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Hello Tom, I have a specific interest in the Conway/Scanlon family, I believe their daughter Ellen was my great grandmother, I notice in your previous post, you said you had attached numerous attachments and a photo of the Conway shop in Barrack Street. I’ve been to Barrack Street  on a recent trip to Ireland but did not know which house was the Conway’s .  Would you send me a copy please. I would like to see if there is any additional information, which I may have missed during my research into my family. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Regards

Ann 

Tom, 

Thank you very much for getting back to me. I’m delighted with the attachments! They are a great help, thanks again.
