Susan, Thank you for your reply. The record for James does not have his townland. His siblings all came through Philadelphia so there is no information such as that on the Philadelphia records either. His death record only states County Cavan and the names of his parents. The only other information I have for him is that he was a merchant (grocer).

An Ed Farrelly, age looks like 31, occupation Grocer, arrived in NY on Aug 7, 1909. His last residence was Dublin. His nearest relative in Ireland was brother Ed Farrelly in Gorteen, Co Cavan.

If Edward FARRELLY was born in Ireland after 1 Jan, 1864, his birth 'should' be in the "Indexes for Births in Ireland" which I have access to at the local Family History Center. FARRELLY is a pretty common name, which means there may be a lot of candidates to choose from. If you have a good idea of what year he was born in, the right Index hit may be less of a task to find. If you are not familiar with Indexes, they are books that were published each year after 31 Dec that contained the names of EVERY birth turned into the GRO that year for the entire country. They are not the fully handwritten Registration that was filled out at the GRO within 3 weeks of the birth, they are a brief notation intended to point you to the right volume and page number to find that Registration. An example would be : 1864 - BUNNY, Easter.....Baillieborough 12-345 Translates to : The birth of Easter BUNNY was registered in the parish of Baillieborough in volume 12 on page 234. If you get 1864 births, volume 12 [out of 20] and go to page 345, you can look down the page for the name you need. It will be somewhere on that page which has spaces for up to about 20 names. Without the INDEX data, its virtually impossible to locate a birth registration. Even the GRO uses the Index films to find the volume and page number they need to get the correct entry someone is seeking. Write back if this birth is after 1 Jan, 1864 and I'll see what the Index films have for Edward FARRELLY. Meg G in Oklahoma USA ==============================

I have not stumbled across Gorteen before in my research, but it is something to look into. Thank you.

I must apologize. The record I found for Aug 7, 1909 was for James Farrelly, a grocer, with a brother Ed in Gorteen. I mistyped on my previous note, and indicated that Ed arrived in NY. Also, the relative or friend he was going to visit upon arrival was what looks like "friend Thos Farlly" at 524 W 131 St, NY. (Penmanship was pretty bad.) I wonder if this friend was actually the brother Thomas Farrelly?. The record did indicate that the birth location for James was Cavan. Dublin was his last residence in Ireland.

My ancestors came from northern Ireland, probably Co. Armagh, and emigrated to Canada. I have no information as to where they landed. Some people have thought they might have landed in an American port and worked their way north. So I'm wondering how you found out that James' siblings came through Philadelphia. Is there a website I can search?
