HI, hoping someone can help with below; I believe the lady in question could be a relative of mine.
I am trying to trace decendants of Catherine Connor, in some family trees the family name is O'Connor.
I believe she married a gentleman of the surname Boyle (Possibly James)
Birth Date-23/12/1877
Birth Place-Croaghboyle, Donegal, Ireland
Father-Daniel Connor
Mother-Biddy Rogers Connor
Thanks in advance
John

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I was not able to find the marriage records for the parents.
Catherine had at least eight siblings: Margaret 1866 James 1868 (died young?) Alice 1870 Philip 1873 Patrick 1875 Daniel 1880 James 1883 Hugh 1885
The Connor family lived in Crohyboyle townland in Templecrone parish.
Here is the family in the 1901 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Donegal/Dungloe/Croghyboyle/1177447/
Daniel the father had died a few weeks before the 1901 census. Cause of death was drowning. See fourth record https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1901/05728/4616315.pdf

Hi John
My name is Denis O'Connor. Catherine was my Great Grandfather's sister. I'm afraid I don't know a great deal about her but the house in Donegal is still in our family.
Best
Denis
Hi Denis
I have DNA connections to th e O'Connor family.
I would love to find out how I am related, If you have information you don't mind sharing please make contact. I have a tree on ancestry that may help. Do you have a tree anywhere?
John
I do have a tree on ancestry but I've only just begun it and it's not extensive. I know quite a bit about our family going back to early 19th century. Sharing yours will be a good start.
