Hello,

This is my first time on here.

My great grandfather, John Donnellan (or Donelon, according to his baptism records) was born in Ireland, emigrated to England, married my great grandmother, Ellen Dunstan (parents William H Dunstan, and Margaret Connolly, born in Galway 1841?) at St. Partick's RC church, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire on 18/06/1887.

I am DNA matched, through Ancestry, with descendants of the Flatley and Gundy families of Philapelphia, also 4th cousins in Galway/Roscommon. 

GG John's parents were Michael Donnellan and Honor Diskin/Disken.

One sister Honor (Nora) emigrated to America and married Hubert W Flatley, in Philadelphia in 1903.

Another sister, Mary, also emigrated to America and married James Grundy in Philadelphia in 1890.

My great grandfather died in Huddersfield in 1900. I know nothing more about his, or his parents' life and would appreciate any help.

Thank you

Ann Laycock
