Cornelius Haley

Looking for information regarding my great-great grandfather. The information I have is that he is from Knocklong, County Limerick Ireland. His name his Cornelius "Con" Haley. Not sure when he came to the States, but he was married in the US in Buffalo NY in 1833 to my great great grandmother, Mary Hannah Banks. She too was from Limirick according to my records.

I have a birth year of 1805 for him and 1808 for her. I am not sure of those years at all. The could have been at least five years difference--give or take for either of them. They were both Roman Catholic and I noticed that he and maybe she were in the parish ofKnocklong and Glenbrohane--again, I'm not sure. I would like to know if there is any record of them. I would assume because of the year and times that they did live in the same area. They both came to the states, I would like to know when, but I have no idea. Not that it is important, but my grandfather changed his name from Haley to Healy. Why I have "Con" in the middle of his full name is simply that I guess it is short for Cornelius. There were many male decendents with first name Cornelius.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I do not have any Irish records on them at all, only US records, and they aren't real clear. Thanks! USA PATT

Hi Patt! I just found a family tree linking us to Cornelius Haley which is one of our old family names. If you've found any more information on him I'd love to know. I recent stumbled on an intensive family tree. I'm from Illinois where it seems he moved to with his family.

Wow! That's great.  I know nothing else about him.  He's kind of the end of my tree.  I have him as Cornelius "Con" Haley (1812 -1876). He was married to Mary Hannah Banks (1812 -1900). They were married in 1833 in Buffalo NY and both died in Will County Illinois. Her Father was Michael Banks and her mother was Mary Murphy.  I don't have any info on them at all except names.

Please fee free to email me at pspeakes@yahoo.com If you have any information regarding any of the Haleys.

Thanks!
