Michael Corless dob ~1831 Killbeacanty

GalwayKilbeacanty (Galway)

Searching for Gr-Gr Grandfather and more birthplaces. -Michael Corless, born March (?) 1831(?). According to a short bio I found he said he was born in Kilbeacanty Parish, emigrated to the US ~1858, with father, Edward, and some siblings, brother Patrick,sisters Catherine & Mary and ended up in Louisville, Kentucky, US.

His father was Edward Corless, born in County Mayo, 1795, said to be 'a man of education' (?). Mother was Hannah Coneley who died in Ireland before 1858. Thanks

Thank you for your post to the message board and welcome to the site.

We have a volunteer in the Kilbeacanty area and I will forward this to her for her reference.

You should expect to hear from Sr DeLourdes very shortly.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, I had received information Re: Michael Corless. Jane Halloran Ryan has my email address and I would love to hear from you and share the notes !!  I received the notes from Sr. DeLourdes whom Jane mentioned above.

My line comes from Michael's son - John D. Corless.

Hope all is well with you.
