For those people who remember my searches to find James Reilly in US. Thank you all who helped me to the end.
I am now trying to find his son Peter Reilly b.28 Jun 1918 26 November 1988 Colorado County, Texas, USA.
Any information on him would be helpful.

Can you please include any relevant links to previous posts so info isn't duplicated.
Exactly what kind of info are you looking for as you have his birth/death dates? You have posted on the Galway board so where did Peter die - USA or Ireland?
Have you looked for him on the US censuses to see if he married etc?

Is this his birth? - James and Nellie (Cullinan)

As Carole says, have you got him in US censuses?
What exactly are you looking for?

Sorry - so did Peter emigrate?
Have you found any records other than that death?
Are his parents mentioned in the death record?

Sorry for starting a new thread when I should have continued with this one!!
I don't know where Peter died. Don't know if the death I found D:26 November 1988 Colorado County, Texas, USA is the right person. Yes the James and Nellie Cullinan were his parents. Father James b.1897 went to US, left his wife at home but died 7 Oct 1952 • Cincinnati, Ohio.
Don't know what happened to his son Joseph b.Dec 1923 either.
-
I don't know if he emigrated but as his father and uncles had emigrated to United States I would guess that he had.
-
Thanks for the explanation.

There is no Peter Reilly or Peter Henry Reilly with that birth date showing on the U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-2014 - this index began about 1962
or a Joseph Reilly born 29 December 1923

Find A Grave shows a Peter H. Reilly died 26 Nov.1988 and buried in Denver (there is also a link to his wife) -
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/3367739/peter-h-reilly
Date of birth given as 25 Oct.1919 not 28 June 1918.
This name and birthdate matches a WWII Draft Registration card which gives place of birth as New York and mother as Ellen Reilly-

Thanks very much for finding Peter. I have been able to send condolences online to his family

Is that right? . Aghadowey ‘s information doesn’t match your Peter H Reilly though.

I don't understand. Going by the details I posted this is the Peter Reilly whose details I found but the birth details are completely different than the Peter Reilly you were looking for- wrong day/month/year and place of birth.
So, yes, I did find the one whose death details you posted but why did you send condolences to the family of the wrong Peter Reilly?
Here is the Peter Henry Reilly birth in 1918 in Corrobell, Galway-

I have no idea?!! Must have been dreaming and sent it to the wrong one.

I thought we haven’t yet found the right one.
