I was very interested in your information.

My grandmother like Catherine was Annie O'Kane.

Stay in touch.

Another distant cousin.

Hi Rory

You emailed a while back after seeing my message to Catherine in NZ

One of your Lavin second cousins invited me to post all the details which I have of the Connors on a "geni" website and I have done that.   However there  a few bits missing e.g.  the wedding date of Sean O Kane and Nannie O'Connor , Nannie O Kane's death etc

He sent me an email message inviting me on to that site and I can do the same to you to give you access if you like.

Now I hope i haven't spoiled your fun making all the discoveries ahead of you!

In the 1911 census Elizabeth who was Arthur's second wife is a widow, and the following children are living with her. James 25 and single Farmer,
Arthur J. 22 who was born in 1888 and died 10th May 1950.Frances age 16 and she later  was a  founder of Cumann na mBan.Bridget Rose 14 in the 1911 census and a scholar, John age 10 and a granddaughter Eileen Young aged 3.
I know that Arthur O'Connor aged 22 had another brother who was the State Solicitor for Kildare and they had a first cousin Seamus O'Connor a Dublin solicitor and later appointed the Sheriff of Dublin.
I hope this is of help to you.
If you look up Wikipedia, the free encyopedia you will find Arthur O'Connor and details.

Hi Mary

I am intrigued as to where you fit in. How did you come to meet Seamus O'Connor. I believe he had several daughters - Eibhlin, Fionnuala, Mairin and Caoimhe. Which one did you know?

Are you related to the O'Reillys (Seamus' mother was an O'Reilly)?

Kind regards

David

[Mary O Connor]

Hi David,
My grandparent's were David and Margaret Bobbett nee Rooney and Seamus was a great friend of there's. When Eibhlin was home from Africia over the years she always visited our extended families, I remember her fondly and the great fun we had. Seamus had a son Colm as well. If you can pick up my email address which I will attach again, it would be nice to make contact.
I dont want to put up too much on forum
Kind regards,
Mary O'Connor
