Reilly and Lynch of Barconny, Castlerahan
I'm looking for information about the families of Patrick Reilly (b. 1837) and Mary Lynch (b. 1847) who are listed as living in Barconny (Grattan) at the time of the 1901 and 1911 censuses.
I was told that Patrick's mother immigrated to the United States with several of his siblings leaving him behind (due to a physical disability) and that these siblings later moved out to San Francisco, California and Anaconda, Montana. I do not, however, have any information the names or dates of these family members.
I visited Barconny in November 2013, but unfortunately there are no longer any Reillys or Lynches in the townland. Patrick and Mary had 11 children (Lawrence (b. 1883), Bernard, Patrick (b. 1876), Mary (b. 1882), Catherine, Anna, Ellen (b. 1890), Roseanne, Margaret, John (b. 1873), and James (b. 1896)). Lawrence and Mary definitely immigrated to the United States and it is suspected that most of their siblings left Ireland as well, although I do not have any information on who immigrated where.
Please let me know if you have any information on this family.
Thanks!
