My 2nd great grandfather was James Reilly who live at the above address n the 1901 and 1911 census. His daughter, Mary, was my great grandmother who immigrated to the United States in 1913. He died in 1938 according to a letter received by his daughter Nellie Donlin (Ellen Reilly) in 1948 to my greatgrandmother. Ellen resided in Glenamaddy as well, I have yet to find her either.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I located a few records on the free Irish governement site www.irishgenealogy.ie
First record is the birth record for Ellen. Second record is the civil death record for James Reilly. He died right before Christmas in 1938 and was listed as 97. Could not find a Nellie/Ellen Donlan/Donlin death record. I did locate a Mary Donlan who died in 1950 and husband was Michael. It is also possible she died after 1966 when online records stop.

According to my great Aunt Nellie's letter, my 2nd great grandfather, James, did die somewhere around Christmas .
Although, the census reports his birthto be 1863.
