Family rumour has it that my maternal G Grandparents (Connollys) lived in or around Skerries in the 1800's..

My maternal Connolly G Grandfather John was living in Dublin in the 1911 census and is shown as a Retired Captain KOSB. His daughter (my Grandmother) was borne in Fermoy barracks obviously whilst John was in the Army

I cant find any evidence to back the Skerries rumour up (but all the family seem to know of it)

Can anyone advise where I might get some more information

Thanks
