Unfortunately I do no know much about William Reilly. I am researching the Early family and it just so happens that Elizabeth Early married William Reilly. The only information that I have about him is that he was born circa 1852 in Ireland. He became a naturalized citizen in 1879 and died in 1909. It is very likely that he arrived in the U.S. with siblings. What era is your Bridget from. If I locate any information at a later date, I will look for Bridget O'Connor as well. Incidentally, maybe by co-incidence, I also have an Elizabeth Sullivan in my tree. She would have been Elizabeth Early's cousin. I do not know anything about her except her name. Sorry I cannot help you. Good luck in your research. Margene
