KildareKilrush (Kildare)

My name is Christine Brew, and I am  researching George Brew from Kilrush.He emigrated to Australia in the 1850s and married Mary Fahey, daughter of Daniel Fahey and Margaret Hogan from Ennis, Clare. His parents were George Brew and Mary Pine. George married Mary Fahey in 1872, in Clunes,victoria , Australia. He is my great grandfather,I have been unable to find any more information as yet and hope someone may know of him, regards,Christine

Hi, my name is Ed Kelley from the U.S. & I am researching information on the Kelley family, but my great-grandmother's parents names were Tim(?) & Kate Connell or O'Conal.  Anyway, Kate's maiden name was Brew.  Now, my great-grandmother was born in County Clare in 1836 & went to New York in 1844 at the age of 8.  She later met & married my great-grandfather, Patrick Kelley, who was born in Kilrush in 1824 & went to New York in 1851.  They were married in New York in 1858.

I don't know if any of this helps you, but I thought I would mention it after seeing the name Brew.

I am brand new to this Ireland Reaching Out forum & I am planning to visit Kilrush in August-September of this year.
