Hi Jerry - I reside in Western MA (on the CT border) and in today's world, travel time to Rhode Island is about 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours. I am not familiar with the travel time from Fall River. My Irish ancestors settled in West Springfield, MA in the late 1850s but, to date, I have not determined where in Ireland they were from. I do belong to NEHGS and have access to MA Vital Records. If you'd provide the name of your ancestor and the names of the parents, I'd be happy to check for the birth record.

I traced my great grandmother's brother and sister living in Fall River, MA around 1912 (my great grandmother was Georgina Sheehan, and the brother and sister I found in Fall River were Patrick and Elizabeth).  When Elizabeth died in 1947 she was living in Newport, RI and had lived there at least 10 years or more.  The brother died in the military in 1912 and eventually buried in Fall River.  When Elizabeth died, she was also buried in the Fall River Cemetery.  Not sure why Elizabeth moved to Newport.  My greatgrandmother, Georgina Sheehan was in NYC as early as 1891, when she married, and they eventually moved to Springfield, MA in 1914 ________________________________ From: Jerrold Brosious <jwbrosious@att.net> To: beara@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [BEARA] Massachusetts and Rhode Island Beara settlers Hi Carolyn.  Thanks for your reply and thanks for your generous offer to check for the ca 1852 birth record.  I'll send you another e-mail off-list.

Thanks for the reply Jane.  This is very interesting, as after a half decade or so in Mass (and it seems, R.I.), my 2Greats grandfather was a miner in New Diggings, Wisconsin.  That was in the lead mining region and many Beara people settled there in the 1850's.  So your info re. miners in Portsmouth, R.I., along with Fall River having the most Beara immigrants, are great tip-offs.   Interestingly, through my recent Ancestry.com DNA testing I have found a match where the apparent connection is through our common line from Beara, and her line were solidly estbalished in Newport, R.I.by the mid 1800's.   Thanks again Jane.

Hi, Barbara.   Re Mrs. B. Sheehan   In 1904, Bridget Harrington (my great grandmother) and her sister Kate were on the ship, Teutonic, returning to Fall River from "Castletown Bere." The manifest shows that they had last been in Fall River in 1903. Something that caught my eye was that they appeared to be travelling with Annie and Mary Sheehan, daughters of Mrs. B. Sheehan of 399 Bank St., Fall River, and a cousin of the Sheehans, David Sheehan. Why this caught my eye is that 399 Bank St. was the future home of my great grandmother and my great grandfather, John Joseph McCann, who married Bridget Harrington in 1905. My grandfather grew up in this home, and my mother lived there as a little girl.   Intrigued by this possible link, I researched to see what, if any, relation the Sheehans had to my great grandmother (who, thanks to Riobard O'Dwyer's books, I know was the daughter of Cornelius (Curley (Sheain Bhain)) Harrington (Trokirre) and Johanna O'Sullivan (Croumhane)).   I haven't been able to make the family connection yet, but this is what I offer about Mrs. B. Sheehan who lived at 399 Bank St. in 1904. Apparently, her name was Bridget Sullivan Sheehan. She was the widow of William Sheehan. Sometime between 1905 and 1910, she and her four children moved to Montana, where she died in 1917.   Please feel free to contact me for more information, or, if you are on Ancestry, search for Bridget Sheehan Sullivan (1853-1917).   Sue Higgins Cvejanovich ________________________________ From: Barbara Neus <barlin760@gmail.com> To: beara@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 7:02 AM Subject: Re: [BEARA] Sullivans in 1853 Fall River Directory Hi  Julie,   Many  thanks  for  your  Fall River  data.   Do  you have  any  data  for  Mrs. B  Sheehan  @ 399  Bank St  in Fall River?   Once more, thank you.   Barbara  Neus On Tue, Mar 12, 2013 at 9:15 PM, Julie O'Hanley <ohanleyj@gmail.com> wrote: > Sullivans listed: > > Andrew, laborer, house 35 Annawan > Bartholomew, laborer, house Charity Lane > Cornelius, tailor, house 12 Clinton > Cornelius, carpenter, house Second, Tiverton > Corenlius B. laborer, house rear school-house, 103 Bedford > Daniel, stonecutter, house 6 Clinton > Daniel, laborer, house 39 Ferry > Daniel, weaver, house 65 Central > Daniel, laborer, house rear 71 Central > Daniel, laborer, house Charity Lane > Daniel, laborer, house Columbia, corner Union > Daniel, laborer, house 10 Granite > Daniel, laborer, house Second, Tiverton > Dennis, laborer, house 87 Bedford > Dennis, laborer, house 36 Ferry > Dennis J., laborer, house 3 Clinton > Ellen, widow, house 55 Bedford > Ellen, widow, house Tiverton, near Globe Village > Eugene, laborer, house Second, Tiverton > Honora, widow, house rear 42 Central > James, laborer, house 36 Ferry > James, laborer, house 33 North Main > Jeremiah, laborer, house Charity Lane > Jeremiah, laborer, house 82 Main > Jeremiah, laborer, house rear South Bank, Tiverton > Jeremiah, laborer, house 16 Summer > Jeremiah, laborer, house 9 Summer > Jeremiah, laborer, house 13, Mulberry > John, carder, house 101 Annawan > John, laborer, house 8 Borden > John, laborer, house Washington, near Hope > John, laborer, house North Main, Bowenville > John, laborer, house Charity Lane > John, laborer, house 9 Inch > John, laborer, house 1 Inch > John, laborer, house Pocasset, corner Union > John, trader, house Globe Village, Tiverton > Julia, boards 14 Van Buren > Julia, widow, house Sixth, near Bedford > Lawrence, laborer, house 39 Ferry > Margaret, widow, house 5 Pocasset > Mark, laborer, house 87 Bedford > Mark, laborer, house Charity Lane > Martin, laborer, house 3 Mulberry > Michael, laborer, house 18 Granite > Michael, laborer, house 8 Union > Michael, laborer, house rear South Bank, Tiverton > Michael, laborer, house 35 Annawan > Michael, laborer, house Pocasset, corner Union > Mrs. Sullivan, widow, house 5 Mulberry (yes, that's how it's listed) > Murtagh, laborer, house Charity Lane > Patrick, watchman, house 43 Pleasant > Patrick, laborer, house Globe Village > Patrick, laborer, house 10 Spring > Patrick, 46 Annawan, house do. > Patrick, laborer, house 18 Granite > Patrick, house 52 Annawan > Patrick, laborer, house 95 Bedford > Patrick, laborer, house 91 Bedford > Patrick, laborer, house 5 Clinton > Patrick R., groceries, 78 South Main, house 11 Eighth > Sharon, laborer, house Second, Tiverton > Terrence, laborer, house 95 Bedford > Timothy, laborer, house 5 Town avenue > Timothy, laborer, house 11 Eighth > Timothy, laborer, house 10 Borden's Block > Timothy, laborer, Pocasset, corner Union > Timothy, laborer, house Charity Lane > Timothy, laborer, house South Main, Tiverton > Timothy, laborer, house 8 Borden > > Best to all, > > Julie O'Hanley > Fall River, Massachusetts > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > BEARA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes > in the subject and the body of the message > ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BEARA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Cornelius seems to have lived in 1884 and 6 (that's all I checked, for now) at 50 York St. in New Haven, along with Bernard and Timothy Sullivan. The directory wouldn't list the wife. You don't happen to know a Eugene Sullivan who lived with my gr grandmother's family? These Sullivans are all in relatively the same area of New Haven. There are, of course, LOTS of other Sullivans! If you are interested and this is a promising direction I can do more research. Sue On 3/13/2013 12:02 PM, Frank Sullivan wrote: > Susan, an interesting family.

so, they were in New Haven "shortly" after 1882 - "they" would be Cornelius and Johanna Sullivan, and a baby? ALAS, we don't have that 1890 census!

Susan, an interesting family. My ggf (Cornelius Sullivan) and ggm (Johanna Riordan) were Irish. She from County Kerry. He (I think from Cork, but I have not record of that fact).

Hi Jane, I doubt that my family fits with yours, though I, likewise, have Sullivans "all over" my family -both sides. There are so many in so many different places that I haven't research them much. However, I am curious about your family as some of the names as also in mine. My gr gr grandfather was James Shea (born in Ireland (1840), possibly Killorglin?). His father and brother were Bartholomew and there was a brother Michael! His wife was an O'Neil from the Timoleague/Barryroe. She had a brother, Eugene/Owen (and possibly Hughie). This brother's wife and daughter did go to Fall River, after his death. The wife was an O'Donnell. All of my direct ancestors came to the US by way of Wales. With the above exception they all settled in New Haven, CT.

Thanks to Julie O'Hanley for posting the 1853 FR directory.I thought  I would post my Sullivans since I have not done so in a while.I have Sullivans on two sides of my family but the ones I want to know more about are Eugene and Abby and their children: Catherine( Murphy), Margaret, Mary (Shay), Bartholomew, Eugene Owen and Michael. The family seemed to come to the US in stages with Catherine here by 1847.I know a lot about them in the US but have never been able to find where in Ireland they came from. (Riobard looked for me and did not feel they were from Beara) .At  first they lived in Wareham , MA. Later, Mary Shay and her husband, John,  moved to Michigan (about 1865) and then back to Fall River. The rest of the family lived in FR except Eugene Owen who died in Wareham in 1912. I have never found a death record for Abby or Eugene nor found them in any census.There are many Abby Sullivans listed as widows in FR city directories and they may be a possibility. So, any suggestions and information will be appreciated! Thanks, Jane Sullivan

Julie, this is a fascinating list of Beara folks in Fall River. I am chasing my Sullivan ancestors. My GF, Francis J Sullivan, was born in Wales, 1876. His father, my GGF, Cornelius, was born in Ireland around 1850. The family emigrated to US in 1882, landing in Philadelphia. I am not certain when they arrived in FR. The only information I have of my GGF is that he probably was a Corkman. Are you able to find Cornelius in subsequent Fall River directories that will help me locate his birth place? I would be eternally indebted to you if you are able to do so. Let me know.

It's been awhile since I posted to this lovely list but I very much enjoy reading all the inquiries, observations and, of course, Riobard's stories as they are the delight of my day. I was doing some cleaning and came upon a very old volume of the 1853 Fall River (Massachusetts) directory. In addition to a brief history of Fall River and some municipal listings, it is also a mini census listing all men and heads of households (widows) of its citizenry. My Hanley ancestors did not arrive here until the late 1890s but I thought some of you may recognize a relative or two. Here are the Harrington listings: Mrs. Daniel Harrington, house Pocasset (street) Daniel , laborer, house 467 Central James, laborer, house 1 Hartwell James, house Battey's Block, Broden Jeremiah, laborer, house 55 Annawan (now known as Anawan) Jeremiah, laborer, house 44 Central Jeremiah, laborer, house 39 Ferry Jeremiah, laborer, house South Main, Tiverton (land that is now part of present-day Fall River) Jeremiah, laborer, h, rear South Bank, Tiverton John, laborer, house 11 Clinton John, laborer, house 7, rear 11 Eighth Mary, widow, house 13 Mulberry Mary, widow, house 10 Spring Michael, laborer, house 18 Troy Patrick, laborer, house 95 Annawan Patrick, laborer, house 37 Pleasant Peter, laborer, house 9 Town avenue Philip, teacher, Catholic Church Thomas, house Mount Hope Village Timothy, laborer, house 35 Annawan No listings for Hanley, Lowney - I will have to do a separate email to list Sullivans Shea: Jeremiah, grinder, house 10 Borden James, laborer, house 22 Shove's Block John, laborer, house 21 Union Also Patrick Shay, laborer, house 38 Bedford Dennis Sheehan, laborer, house rear South Bank, Tivertton Louisa Sheehan, widow, boards 113 Pleasant I hope a Beara-lister will recognize a relative.

* A few days ago there was a query about a Famine Grave near Castletownbere. Well I'll tell ye a story about a happening near that Famine grave. There were these two doctors, and it was the time when some doctorswere experimenting with bodies to find out the real causes of a particular death (besides the obvious causes from Famine). These particular two doctorswere in opposition with each other, and one was trying to be the first to find out from a body that was buried in that ancient graveyard. So one doctor hired two men to dig up the body in the middle of the night and bring it to him so that he could examine tha body. But, cripes man, didn's the second doctor find out what the first doctor was up to, so he in turn hired two men to do the same. So in the middle of the dark night when the hired men of the first doctor crept in past the creaking gate and were starting to dig up the body with their shovels, hadn't the men hired by the second doctor gone in hiding behind some bushes close to the grave about an hour beforehand. It was a real eerie night. All you could hear were the rustling of leaves and moaning of the winds. u--u--h; a--a--a; u--e --a -- u !! The men dug holes beneath the coffin with a crowbar in order to help them lift it up with ropes, and then they were cursing and swearing with the strain of hauling it to the side of the grave. They then began to open the lid of the coffin and pull out the body to show it to the first doctor when, all of a sudden, one of the second doctor's men behind the bushes started wailing: "Don't steal my body". The other man roared: "Don't stir my bones". The two men who were taking the body out of the coffin thought it was voices from the dead, and took to their heels screaming : "A ghost !! a ghost !!", and they never stopped running until they banged open the door of their house. After that, the two men of the second doctor put back the empty coffin, filled in the grave, put a big sheet around the body, and set off weak with the laughing to the second doctor. Amply rewarded they, a few nights later, did justice to a "drop of the crayture" in the nearest suitable house in Beara. * ---- Riobard.
