Charles Gorry

Hi, thank you so much for the info you sent. Would you be able to tell me where you found it as I have looked on Ancestry, RootsIreland & Irish Family History Foundation websites & never found anything. If you have been able to find so much in a short space of time I may be able to find out some more if I knew where to look.

I didn't have any information regarding Charles' mother or his wifes maiden name & her parents.

Once again Thank You for your help

Regards Kathy

Hi Annemarie

Thank you for the above information it is very helpful I had found details of the marriage in 1887 but no further details about the addresses

I did not have any record of the baptism of Catherine or her mothers maiden name, this has been very helpful & maybe I can now take the research a bit further with the details you have given me.Iappreciate your help.

Hello from quarantined New York.  I have finally opened my Gorry folder and then noticed this string of conversation regarding the same area in County Meath.  I am not sure you are still involved in this website, but I am taking a chance to connect.                          My g-g-grandfather is Patrick Gorry.     He married Catherine Monaghan January 1857 in Kells.   Her home is listed as Carnaross.  One of their witnesses was Jane Monaghan; the other Patrick Tobin.       I am still scouring the area for relatives- and am positive there are many for both sides of that family.             They had several children.   Anne (b. November 1857) is my great grandmother.  She immigrated to New Jersey; had a family; returned to Carnaross in 1926 and married again in 1928 in the RC Church in Kells- to a Peter Hynes whose address was Kingsmountain, Kilskyre, County Meath.  I am sure she (Annah Gorry Sheridan Hynes) was in her 70s when she married Peter.              Anne's first marriage to John J. Sheridan is a wild card in the family................we wonder if he came from the same area in Meath............and we wonder if they were married in Ireland before their first born daughter, Mary (1888 in New Jersey) appeared...............         Does any of this connect with your Carnaross Gorry family?                               Thank you for your reply!                      Ann Marie Lynch

Hi Ann Marie
We don’t have a Patrick Gorry in our tree at present Do you know what year he was born?

However
Your Patrick Gorry married Catherine MONAGHAN witnessed by Jane MONAGHAN & Patrick TOBIN

The closest we have is my great grandfather is Charles Gorry he had a sister Catherine who married a McManee and they had a daughter Kathleen who married a Frank TOBIN
Franks father was Thomas TOBIN and their marriage was witnessed by a Patrick MONAGHAN

There does appear to be a link with the 2 families do you think your Patrick Gorry could be a brother or uncle of our Charles Gorry he was born in Kells in 1855 his father was Cornelius born 1812 Cornelius was married twice and had another son James Gorry born 1834 who also settled in New York

I hope this information is helpful to you we are also still researching

Happy Saturday!

Not sure of birth years for Patrick Gorry and Catherine Monaghan who were married January 1857 in Kells.                   Have baptismal info of their six children (which included a Patrick JR in 1864) from Carnaross,Kells, Meath.    Patrick's sponsors were Charles Gorry and Bridget Matthews.      It is the first family record with the name Charles (and your Charles from the same area caught my eye); yet Charles continued with my grandfather and his children.                        I am pretty sure that the Gorry group in that area of Ireland all knew each other- have to plot out the ages and see how they could be connected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Just spent an hour on Find My Past and printed all the GORRY baptisms from Carnaross that are in their records.              All were from Patrick Gorry and Catherine Monaghan except one.        In 1858 there was a Cathrine born to Daniel GOrry and Mary Smith  (coincidentally, a Mary Smith sponsored our Catherine Gorry at baptism in 1866)-  8-Aug-1858.       Does that match anyone in your family?            

                   Wonder how big the Carnaross area was in those 1850s-1860s........  saw James Gorry on a Griffiths table- but have not found the name James in any of the family information yet.

                    Yes, this is a work in progress!     I only know of one Gorry who came to the USA.  Anne, my g-grandmother, went to NJ.  Married John J. Sheridan (another name from Meath but I know nothing about his story- another wild card).             The area of northern NJ is not far from NYC.        Several of the Monaghans from Drumbaragh (Meath) settled there also.     But Anne returned to Meath- to Drumbaragh- in 1926 after her third child died.    She remarried a man from Kingsmountain, Kilskyre, Meath in that same RC church in Kells in 1928.      She is bured as Anna Sheridan Hynes in the cemetery at Church of the Assumption in Ballinlough, Meath.    

       Which side of the pond finds you stuck at home?    Best wishes,   Ann Marie Lynch   

Hi Ann Marie I am in England in lockdown trying to stay safe as my husband & I are elderly my daughter has a trip to New York booked for November but it probably won’t happen now
I have been in previous contact with another person in America who is researching Gorry
She definitely has the same family as I do and I can give you a bit more information I can’t say that it’s a link to your family but I will send what I have
First Gorry I have is my gg grandfather Cornelius b 1812 Kells d23/5/1897 Kells
Wife Mary they had a son James b1834 Ireland d 22/3/1893 New York James is living in Ward17 District 10 New York in 1860 James had a daughter Mary b1858 and son Michael b1859 both born New York
2nd wife Mary Smith b1831 Ireland d23/2/1893 Ireland they were parents of my g grandfather Charles b1855 Ireland Kells Meath I know that on 6 th April 1892 Charles sailed to America. He visited a cousin Thomas Duffy but must have returned because my grandmother was born in1894 and went on to have another 2 daughters
Now the other person I have been in contact with in America has a Thomas Gorry b1815 and a PATRICK GORRY b1820 d1870 She is a genealogist but she has these 2 as sons of my g g grandfather Cornelius but the dates don’t fit but that’s the only Patrick I can find
