Dillon family

[Sandidolsen42]

I have done a family tree book on the Dillon Family but I can not find any leads in Ireland (where they came from).  We were told they came from county clare...the fathers name was James Dillon and he married a Bridget Malone ..they had three sons that came to Canada(  Timothy, John and Martin.) They came to the U.S .A in 1929 and then came to Canada in 1932 ending up in Raleigh Township in Ontario Canada. This is information that has been passed down not sure if correct or not.

Any idea how old the boys were when travelling to U S A

[myluck!]

presuming that they were not children in 1929 they should be listed on the 1911 census

I searched for Timothy DILLON of all ages and found there were 13 in Ireland
There was only one in Co. Clare at Residents of a house 1 in Booltiaghadine (Killinaboy, Clare)
living with his widowed mother, Bridget, and six siblings that includes a John

If you look carefully at the census paper Bridget seems to have stated how long she was married and number of children but it is rubbed out. I thick it read 9 children which would give hope one was a Martin! LINK

This is the family in 1901 LINK
however the father's name was also Timothy

Did you mean 1829 or 1929 as stated previously?
