Title: McAvoy/McEvoy/Connolly of Worcester, Massachusetts
Post by: NEMSTC on Wednesday 02 May 18 12:39 BST (UK)
Hi,

Recently given my mother's notes of this branch of our tree and could use some help:

1---Jane Connolly b. abt. 1833 (county Fermanagh, Ireland ) and died 3/31/1900 (Worcester, Massachusetts ) had married James McAvoy 1830-1873.

2---Jane came over to USA about 1848 with her brothers from Fermanagh; however, when using Ancestry.com, I find 'Jane Connollys', but not images of ship lists naming her brothers. My mother's notes indicate the brothers resided in Marlborough, Massachusetts while Jane married and raised a family in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Please advise especially on #2.  Thank you !

John

In order to find Jane's siblings it helps to know the names of her parents- Hugh Connelly & Ann Leonard according to her death certificate- and age works out as born c1831-
