Timothy Browne of Ballyveelish Townland, Parish of Crecora

LimerickCrecora (Limerick)

I have recently learned that this man is very possibly one of my ancestors. If this is the right Timothy Brown(e), his family (wife and several children - probably seven or eight) emigrated in 1849to Boston, Massachusetts, USA. His wife was Hannah Kelly, who was also from County Limerick. This Timothy shows up in Griffiths Valuation in 1850-51, which would be after his family left, so the question ariseswhy would they leave without him? Anyway, if anyone can give me more information about this Timothy - or, more importantly, THE Timothy Brown who was married to Honora or Hannah Kelly, I'd be so grateful!

I couldn't find a marriage record.

The Tithe Applotments (free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/ have 155 Brownes in Limerick 1825-34 but no Timothys or Thadeuses.

No luck in the 1821 or 41 Irish Censuses either.
