Quinn Family, Closhatogher, Ballygar

Galway

I'm trying to get more information on my mother' family.  Her parents were John Quinn and Ellen Connelly.  They lived on a farm in Closhatogher with his mother Ann who is listed as the head of household in the 1901 census.  They had at least 9 children: Thomas born approx 1901 followe by (not in order) Nora, Martin, Anne Marie, Agnes, Mary, Michael, James, John and Peter.  Thomas and Martin emmigrated to Australia circa 1928.  Thomas remained there for 40 yrs.  Martin died shortly after arrival.  Nora, Anne Marie and Agnes went to New York sometime in the 1920s.  Michael died in childhood.  James and John went to England,  Mary and Peter stayed on the farm.  Peter spent a short time in England in I believe the 1980s. I haven't been able to get beyond my grandfather John and his mother.  I've been able to  trace my grandmother's family back but not sure if its accurate.   I'd appreciate hearing from anyone with any info on the families.  Thanks.
