Do you know if he had any brothers and sisters? What was his date of birth? Do you know who his father was? I am searching for the parents (& brothers and sisters) of James C. Carmody, born between 1825 and 1830 in County Clare, who migrated to NY about 1850. The small amount of info I have is that James C's father was John and his mother was Margaret (maiden name unknown). They were probably born in the very late 1700s. To complicate things a bit, John's father was also named John, say born circa 1760, and married to an Anne Hogan. Thank you Tom Carmody PS. I used your variation to find Carmody's in the US Census. Before that I thought these people were in a Witness Protection Program.
