Surnames: Farrelly, Cook Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5538/5dV.2ACEB/75 Message Board Post: I am trying to track my Farrelly family and have hit the proverbial brick wall. My gg grandfather, Bryan Farrelly was born circa 1807/08 in County Cavan, Ireland, married Bridget Cook born circa 1817 in Ireland (County Meath?). The marriage date was around 1834 when the first son was born. Two more children were born before 1843 when Bryan was sentenced to be transported to Tasmania for burning down a house. Bryan ended up living in the midlands region of Tasmania and in about 1854/55 he was able to pay to bring his wife and 3 children out from Ireland. After she arrived, they had 4 more children. My brickwall starts here & would appreciate any help with either Bryan or Bridget. Thanks,
