With my recent discovery of the obituary and death certificate confirming the death of James Farrelly (Farley) on 22 May 1923 in Brooklyn, New York, I thought I would take a chance to see if anyone else was researching this family. James was the son of Cornelius and Margaret Burns Farrelly. He was born in County Cavan in 1875 and came to the US around 1909. Cornelius was the son of Michael and Ann Farrelly. Margaret was the daughter of Edward and Bridget Burns. According to his obituary, James had the following siblings: Anna, Edward, Margaret (died before 1899), Mary, Thomas, John, Bridget, Patrick and Michael. John, Bridget and Patrick lived in Pennsylvania. Thomas in New York City. The rest were in Ireland. I have information on the families of John, Bridget and Patrick. Known siblings of Cornelius were Patrick, Thomas, James and Mary. According to a biography written about Bridget's husband, James Gainor, Cornelius Farrelly was still living in 1899 and was 90 years old. Any information would be helpful.
