Brosna, Kerry, Catherine Connell * John Daly, Timothy Daly mystery (Update found Catherine's death records
I am looking for info. or ideas,Re: Catherine Connell & John Daly, my gr., gr. grandparents, lived/had children in Scalp, Brosna, Kerry, abt. 3 miles from there Knocknadariv, on docs.Children, Batholomew, Mary, Timothy 1867, Margaret Daly Broderick, 12/24/1850, Elizabeth, 1871, Daniel, 1873, John M Daly, 1876, and my great grandfather, Michael Daly 1878-1956 , who married Margaret M.Morris fromGlamorgan, Wales. One of their sons, Michael jr. was also born in Kerry, the rest of them in Wales. They came to the US (Margaret & Michael with children) to Chicago, then Downers Grove, IL.
I have searched high and low for a birth or death for Catherine Connell, found a possibiltiy of her baptism, July 2, 1836, Roman Catholic, Glen Flesk, Kerry, Ireland, father John Connell, * Ellen McCarthy, I really have no way to substantiate this: I have the children's bap. records, from Brosna Church, & civil reg. (Tralee), but can't find birth, death, marriage, or burial sites for her, or John, listed as Roman Catholic. I only have one census, March 31st, 1901, Kerry, Kilmurry, Knocknadarriv where John Daly, est. b.d. 1836 living with son Daniel, (Army Pensioner) listed as father in law, with daughter Margaret Daly Broderick, married to William, occupation, Gamekeeper. John Daly is 65, & a widower, ocup, agricultural laborer. Says he cannot read or write, but speaks both the Irish & English language, as they all do.
I some questions, too, re:Timothy Daly, their son, came to the US in 1897 &married Nora Curtin (Listowel/father John) after she died, he had two daughters in Chicago, when he marriedKathryn Byrne (born Dublin City,father John) , lived in Evanston, Chicago, IL. and it was who my grandfather stayed with when he first came here.
If anyone knows of them, or has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance for any support with this. Take care now! warriorartist@cox.net
