Hi Folks Sent this many months ago with little sucsess, but now have a bit more to add so maybe I'll get lucky this time: The O'Connors we are searching are the Parents of Michael O'Connor & Alice Scales. Emigrated to Australia in 1857 with their son Michael. Father was Donald or Daniel O'Connor, born probably in "Doolin" Co Clare, mother was Bridget Cherry born Ballinasloe Co. Galway. Alice's parents were William Scales & Alice McCoy all of Co Clare, death cert. show Doolin or Killilagh, Killilagh being the Catholic parish of the Doolin area I think? Ennistimon was also mentioned as a possible place of residence on an obituary notice, also in the Killilagh parish. Michael had listed as a migration sponsor his brother Tom (Thomas O'Connor) living in Australia since 1850, little is known of him. we believe Daniel (Donald) & Bridget Cherry were thought to have had 11 children 9 deceased at time of Michaels migration we now know of two children living in1857 that of Patrick O'Connor and his wife Margaret and their daughter Bridget born 1840. Also Mary O'Connor marrried to Thomas Sharry their children being Bridget & Michael,Michael born 1837 Hopefully someone can shed some light on these people from this area.
