Hi Bob, the last time we had contact, was in July of this year, at that time, you were wondering about the marriage of Thomas Conlon and Anne Berry. (Although you may have come across the info you needed, since then) I have found the marriage, it took place on 24th October, 1847 in Tubberclair. There is nothing much recorded on the cert (no ages, parents names, occupations etc.) but the sponsers names are recorded.  They were, William Conlon and Bridget Carty.  Hope this helps a little       Martina Fuery

Hi, I checked from 1845-50 for Anne and Tom's marriage, no luck yet, but I have found three baptism's that may be for their children. The first one was for Michael Conlon, baptised, 28th May, 1850, registered in Kilkenny West, for the parish's of Benown, Glasson, Kilkenny West and Tubberclair. (sponsers were Catherine Berry and Patt Dunne) Then, William Conlon, 19th February, 1854 (sponsers were Marcella Conlon and Christopher Berry) and Mary Conlon, 25th March 1856. (Sponsers were Mary Conlon and Edward Ennis) All born to Thomas Conlon and Anne Berry. Does any of this look like it could be for your Tom and Anne?  The only other family names I have been given are the McCann and Davis families I mentioned in an earlier post.

Hi, any info I have for Rose and Mary came from my grandmother. I do have a record from ancestry, of Mary's marriage in 1869, to Tom Davis from Kilkenny west. The marriage took place in Glasson. Rose, on the other hand, went to the US in 1857 with Edward McCann. They arrived in New York, but settled in Boston. They stayed six years, before returning to Ireland. I don't know if they married before going or when they arrived in the US. (No definite records stateside). They had two children there.(same story with records). I have records for Rose, from 1864 onwards and for Mary from her marriage onwards. Nothing before 1864, apart from Mary's date of birth. (1845).

Hi I see you have McCann in your list of connections to Conlon from Tubberclaire. I am trying to find information on my Gr. Gr.Grandmother Rose Conlon (date of birth unknown), she married Edward McCann (born 1831) from the same area. (Edwards parents were, Patrick McCann and Mary Seery) She had a sister Mary Conlon (born 1845), who married Thomas Davis. Her father's Name was Thomas Conlon, (they were from a farming background), but I don't know anything else about other members of her family, or Edward's family.  If any of this is is familiar to you or you know anything about these families, I'd be very grateful if you could share.
