To many John O'Connors

[Annette7]

John Joseph Connors born 19/3/1894 Limerick, son of John Connors and Mary Ann McCoy (no O'connor with a John Joseph in the timeframe 1894-1895 in Limerick).

Think this is the John Joseph in question so.......sorry!

So from this it looks as though many used Connor/O'Connor/Connors interchangeably as Mary McCoy/'O'Connor/Hayes used O'Connor on the 1901 census. 

Just to close the circle does this Mary Ann McCoy later marry James Hayes and is she the one who is shown on the 1901 census with a 7 year old John O'Connor? 

ETA we are looking for a John O'Connor.  I put the Joseph in as that was what was on the census.

Right
Different tack
On Griffiths Valuation in 1851  there is a Patrick Connors leasing land from a Morgan Hayes in Oola parish Shanaclogh West Townland. There is a house on this property.   In addition he leases land in Oolahills West Oola Township to a John Hyde.

Also living in Shanaclogh West Township are the following O'Connell, Darmody, Fitzgerald,hewitt Rafferty, Hayes and Dwyer and the railway.

Also on Griffiths there are 11 references to Patrick O'Connor owning or leasing land. NONE of this land is in Oola.  The link shrink is not working for me now.

His father is Maurice O'Connor who is a farmer and I have seen some records about him while on this mission!

Hello Trevor my cousin said It was Castleconnell ?

[Trevor1955]

Ok There is a Patrick O'Connor mar Anne Dalton Castleconnor 7 Aug 1877,
then a John Connors bap 2 Sept 1878 Castleconnor to a Patrick Connors and a Johanna Dalton.
If this was the first child who died, then a second John born later between Bridget 1892 and Johanna 1895.
Also if this Patrick had a father Patrick will make it fit with Oola.

Who lives at Ballybrien since John 1896?

regards
Trevor

 . This has been my brick wall for 20 years.
Appreciate you help.
