Thomas Cullinan, Claregalway

[apricotnelli]

btw Stanislaus was not a common second name but Bridget's sister Frances had a son with Andrew James O'Connor of Hazlewood tuam called Cecil Stanislaus O'Connor

I should add that Thomas called his first son Joseph (married 1850 born 1851) so his father was Joseph Cullinan dont know if that helps with any of this

I just came across an article in the Tuam Herald 1837 that confirms that thomas Martin and Michael were brothers. Thomas of Oranmore also lived in Turloghmore (Janeville) and there seems to be just one
His daughter Minnie married Richard H Carter.Patrick Dunn Cullinan was a grandson of Michael's

Hi I There were three brothers Michael Thomas and Martin. I think their father as Joseph and their mother Mary as Thomas eldest son born a year after he married in 1851 was Joseph. He later had another son Joseph in 1875 so an important name to carry on. Michael was Caherhue Tuam. Thomas lived in Janeville, Turloughmore and later Oranmore ,Galway Rocklands tho I have seen Stonepark referred to.
Thomas married Bridget (Delia) Kelly daughter of Patrick Kelly and Bridget(Delia) Elwood Grove House Tuam
Paddy Dunne Cullinan was a grandson of Michael Cullinan Caherhue. He was related in fact to a famous Irish general but I am not sure exactly how it was on his Cullinan(Mary jane Seymour) grandmothers side. At her funeral General Sir Bryan Mahon is described as her nephew. He is a son of Major Henry Blake Mahon of Belleville.

I know the other brother lived in Waterview but dont know much about him. My interest is Kelly

Hi everyone,
I am trying to learn more about my Cullinan ancestry.  My Great Great Grandfather was Joseph Francis Cullinan.  Born 7/12/1846 in Galway, he immigrated to the US in May 1863 and settled in Jefferson, Dakota Territory.  He farmed in Dakota Territory and was a businessman (had a real estate office) in Sioux City, Iowa, later. He owned quite a bit of rental property at one time in Sioux City.  Upon his death in 1890, his will indicates that he left money to be send to his sister Bedelia Hughes in Galway, Ireland.  I have no other information about any of his other family members. 

Family legend holds that he and his siblings were orphaned when their parents were in a Buggy accident possibly in another country, since as the story goes the children were sent "back" to somewhere/Ireland where they were adopted by Lady Cullinan(e). 

I just wondered if you knew of any connections.  If you are on the website familysearch.org (it is free to join) you can find the "profile" of Joseph Francis Cullinan by searching on the ID number KZZT-BD2

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Sincerely
Stephanie
