I have a death certificate for my great grand father, TIMOTHY G. SPILLANE. Born in Bethlehem, PA in 1890 and died in 1963 in PA. His father is listed as PATRICK SPILLANE born in Ireland. According to Ancestry.com, Patrick was born in 1844 in Ireland. Doesn't say exactly where in Ireland. Also Ancestry has listed a "Catherine Katie Brasnan Bresnahan Brosnan" as Patrick's wife. I found a marriage record in Castleisland, Kerry, Ireland on March 5th, 1878 for Patrick and Catherine. His father is listed as JEREMIAH SPILLANE and her father is listed as CORNELIUS BROSNAN. Catherine's death certifcate list her birth is May,1 1860 in Ireland. She was listed as Catherine Spillan. No "e" at the end. She died on Nov. 6, 1909 in Bethlehem, PA. It doesn't list her father or her mother or her husband.
Also a 1910 PA census shows that Patrick Spillane was a widow, emigrated in 1880 from Ire. and his children lived with him
ELLEN "NELLIE" SPILLAN born 1885
CORNELIUS PATRICK SPILLANE born 1888
TIMOTHY G SPILLANE born 1890
A 1920 census in PA shows that PATRICK SPILLANE emigrated in 1883 from Ire., became "naturalized" in 1888 and lived with his daughter, NELLIE "DUMMNERLING"?
Any help would be GREATLY apprieciated!
Thank you, Nicole

I would go to www.irishgenealogy.ie which is a free Irish government site which has Co. Kerry church records. I located the 1878 marriage record and also found a likely baptismal record for Catherine in 1844 (rather than 1860). This record was also in Castleisland.
You may be able to find sibling records. I could not find Patrick. However, I did locate an 1879 baptismal record in Castleisland for a Mary Spillane parents Patrick Spillane and Catherine Brosnan.
