Offaly (Kings) / Re: Grennan / Coghlan /Daly / Molloy in Offaly

I have looked through the names you have and I don't have any of them No GOREY in my papers.  You are right in that they are probably related with the name of GRENNAN and coming from Tullamore, Rahan area. It is really difficult when they all named their kids the same family names over and over. I have a John MOLLOY m. Mary Ellen GRENNAN in 1894 but it cant be the same person. Probably all the same with the MOLLOY name being close but not exact. My grandfather James Grennan came in to CT. My grandmother Alice Coghlan into NY. I know they were married in 1909 but I've never found out where. I have pretty much come to a dead end on my Irish family. I wish you better luck.

Hi Gerry,
Thanks for answering my post.  Its been so long since I wrote on here it took me a while to figure out how to answer you back.  If you have any Grennan information, I'd love to see it.  James my Grandfather was born in 1879 and married Alice Coghlan. There are many James in the family but I'm interested in everyone. I hope I attached the photos correctly. This James came to the US about 1903. Lived in Ansonia, Connecticut then Jackson, Michigan. Died in 1964 Alice died in 1966 (Both in Jackson, Michigan. One photo is their wedding photo in 1909 the other is of James and his brothers, probably before he left Ireland. You may get this more than once. I had a terrible time making this attach and send. Thanks for writing to me

Thank you.  I dont know how they connect with my family but it is nice to have other pieces to this Genealogy puzzle.  Its so nice to have others help with all this.  It's too bad there is a big big ocean between the US and Ireland.    Merry Christmas :)

Sorry I didn't answer sooner.  I was out of town.  Right it says MOXIE.  It's on the tree too.  I didnt know what Moxie was.  I even thought maybe on the tree it was ROXIE.  Thank you I appreciate your help. Especially finding the E. Shepherd. I imagine you are right.  It's Connecticut. Now that changes a few people in the photo that I was guessing at.

Offaly (Kings) / Grennan Men. Who is on the right?
« on: Friday 16 March 12 03:17 GMT (UK)  »
This is a photo of James Grennan (Taller man on left) with another man.  Does anyone know him?  They look like they could be brothers.

I cant tell if this one was in the US or in Ireland
I sure wish I'd have asked these questions 45 years ago.
I don't know if anyone can identify any of these photos but I appreciate you looking at them and trying.

Offaly (Kings) / Grennan Men. Who are they?
« on: Friday 16 March 12 03:09 GMT (UK)  »
This is a photo of James Grennan (seated) and three of his brothers (I think). 
I'm assuming the younger one is Daniel Grennan. Lived in Dublin and worked at a Bakery and did not marry. So if this is Daniel, this photo was taken in Ireland.

The other Brothers would have to be Edward and Peter.  Does anyone know for sure what their names are?  I can only guess.  I suppose they could also be cousins.  The more I learn the more questions I have.
I'm giving them these names by process of elimination because I have been told that :
Joseph was murdered in Derby, CT early in 1897
William Apparently "fell" out of a window shortly before he was to be ordained.
Probably Ansonia, CT about the same time.

Anyone recognize them?

Offaly (Kings) / Grennan Sister Fred or Sister Kevin? #3
« on: Friday 16 March 12 02:35 GMT (UK)  »
On the back of these photos it only says "My Neice"
These Photos belonged to James Grennan in the US

The only nuns I could find in my tree were: 
Sister Kevin, Therese Grennan, daughter of Edward Grennan and Margaret Grogan.

Sister Fred, Winifred Grennan, daughter of Margaret Grennan and Thomas Molloy. 

Does anyone recognize her? It would be wonderful to have names for these people.  And thank you for looking

This photo says  "My sister Maggie Ann on the back"  So this would be Margaret Ann Grennan married to Thomas Malloy. Daughter of Winifred Daly and James Grennan.

Does anyone know more about her?
If anyone wants the photo larger I can send it to you.
This Photo belonged to James Grennan in the US
