Leahy Family of Riverville Crossroads, Urroghal, County Kerry

Hello, kimsue!

Maurice Leahy was my Daughter's Great grandfather and he moved from Kerry to Maryland. His parents were John annd Johanna Leahy of Urroghall, Currans, Kerry. They are listed in the 1901 Irish Census but Maurice is listed with his employers household. He emigrated in 1909. You can find him on the 1920, 1930 and 1940 US Census' in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland, US. He married Ellen Cecil. His brother, Patrick and sister, Margaret were living with him in the 1910 US Census. Here is a link to his Gravesite. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/149364616/maurice-john-leahy His children (and grandchildren), for the most part, remain in Maryland: John; Josephine; Cecelia; Maurice; Francis; Edward and William Leahy.

I have not been able to trace Margaret or Patrick as of now.

You can reach me at mlou21783@gmail.com if you would like more information. I don't think any of the current generation have done any genealogy but I can probably put you in touch with a family member.
