Hoping someone will see something familiar in the following: CONROY/CONRY Martin CONRY, b cc 1810 d Feb 1885 ,He lived in Nympsfield,(Cong), Mayo was a farmer & laborer. He m Kate. b. cc 1814 d, June 1884; Children: Thomas b 1839 d unmarried 1865. Mary m. Mich'l Elwood, they had Anthony b 1878, Thomas 1880,d 1889,Bridget 1883, Mary 1885 d, 1899 Anne b 1887, d 1897 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Thomas Conry b 1820 d 1885 was a farmer in Nympsfield & m Mary Costello b 1819, d 1884; Children; James b ????, Thomas b. March 1865, If this is our Thomas than he married Mary Flaherty in 1889 in Brooklyn, NY. Conry/Conroy lived and worked in Cong, digging the Lough Mask to Lough Corrib canal in 1840-50. This could explain the why Thomas jr was a dock worker in Bklyn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ Michael Joseph Conroy was a sponsor at one of Thomas's children in Bklyn in 1897. Hoping someone see something here that could help shed some light on our Conroy family. Thanks Ed Conroy. my g.father was Thomas Conroy
