Fermanagh / Re: CONNORS
« on: Tuesday 08 February 11 22:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Tam

Thanks for getting back to me, good to hear from you too.  I think I remember my dad mentioning that our name had been O'Connor at one point going back too but had originally been Connors.  I also remember him mentioning that the Connors were either farmers/labourers or gravediggers!  My grandfather Thomas Connor dropped the "s".  I'm going to keep researching you never know we might be distantly related :-)  I will let you know if I find out anything new.   

Cheers

Fermanagh / CONNORS FROM CAVAN
« on: Tuesday 08 February 11 22:16 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, thanks for your help.  My great grandfather Michael Connors and his wife Ann (maiden name Higgins) had one child in Ireland and had a further 6 children in Glasgow Scotland.

Patrick Connors (born in Ireland) (1873/74)
Mary-ann Connors - born Glasgow 1875
Michael Connors - born Glasgow 1877
Maggie Connors - born Glasgow 1880
Catherine Connors - born Glasgow 1883 - died 1883
Catherine Connors - born Glasgow 1884
Thomas Connors - born Glasgow 1886

On the birth certificates it puts Michael Connors and Ann Connors as coming from Stradone, County Cavan.  I don't know Michael Connors sisters and brothers names as I had been told all except my great grandfather Michael Connors went to America (Maryland, Baltimore).

Hi Tam, I'm not sure how common the name Connors is in Cavan but my great grandfather Michael Connors came from Cavan before coming over to Glasgow Scotland in 1875.  I wonder if Patrick and Michael could be related?  As far as I knew of the family history the rest of the family went over the America.  My great grandfather's first child was called Patrick who was born in Ireland around 1873/1874.  I don't know the townland that they came from and I'm going to try and research that.
 
Cheers
