Hoping that maybe by this St PATRICK'S day I might be successful in learning a little about my MYSTERIOUS G. Father, Thomas CONROY/CONRY born in 1865 in Ireland to Thomas Conroy/Conry & Mary COSTELLO. We think he is from Mayo, The heritage ctr says that they only have one family with this name, Costello & Conry, who have a son Thomas born in 1865, in Cong. How can I prove this is ours? Thomas jr came to NY cc 1887 and in 1889 Feb married Mary Flaherty/Faherty in Brooklyn,she came from Annaghdown, Galway which is also on the Corrib River, 10 miles South of where the above Thomas is from. Did they know one another in Ireland ? Her family came in 1887, large group, it seems most of them worked the docks or ship yards. Thomas worked the docks also, he is said to have been killed there in 1901. Mary is listed as a widow in the 1901 Bklyn directory at one of the address we have. 13 State st. There is no death certificate that we can obtain as he is said to have drowned and never found. How can we solve any of these problems? This is our BRICKWALL. I am the oldest & only living grandson, the younger generation of 2d cousins seem to know next to nothing. Thanks to all Ed Conroy
