Kerry / Re: John O'CONNOR - convict 1837
« on: Tuesday 14 July 15 01:05 BST (UK) »
Shadrach,
This is probably a shot in the dark, but I just came across your post about John O'Connor, convict from way back. I was wondering if you ever found out who his parents were? I saw you stated he was from Ventry, Dingle, Co Kerry.
For many years I have been trying to find out where my line came from in Ireland. I know they emigrated from Ireland to Canada first, but eventually ended up in Buffalo, NY. Family lore said they came from Co Kerry, but I have yet to find anything to substantiate that. I lean toward that tho as my gr grandfather's middle name was Ventry! Tho maybe the family just had kind thoughts of Lord Ventry (tho reading about him I tend to doubt that), it is the where I tend to look for them. His fathers name was Stephen and mother was Margaret.
Anyway, when I came across your post I thought I would just check with you.
Thanks for any help you might give me,
Eileen
