    1. [Irl-Cork] Searching for KIELY, SULLIVAN and McAULIFFE
    2. Here are my County Cork interests: Mary KIELY (my gggrandmother) b.1832 in Kilmurray, daughter of Jeremiah and Mary KIELY. The Kielys migrated to Massachusetts and then Concord, New Hampshire in the 1840s. Mary died in 1861 and is buried in the Kiely family plot in Merrimack County Cemetery, Concord, NH. Mary's husband was Joseph BELDUKE. They had one daughter, Emma (my ggrandmother). Hanorah SULLIVAN (another gggrandmother) came from Castlemagner Parish near Kanturk but I believe the family may have been originally from Scull. Hanorah had two sisters, Catherine SMITH and Margaret MCAULIFFE, who migrated to Massachusetts and then Illinois. She also had another sister named Bridget and a brother Richard. Hanorah married Patrick MCAULIFFE in 1834. Patrick was from either Newmarket (where some of his children were baptized) or Kilbrin. His oldest son's name was Cornelius, which I believe was also his father's name. He also had brothers named James and Cornelius. Hanorah and Patrick also had daughters named Kate, Anne and Margaret (my ggrandmother). The family migrated to Essex County and then Clinton County, New York around 1850. In 1865 Margaret and her sisters Anne and Kate (HUGHES) and possibly one or more brothers moved to San Francisco where Anne married William GLEASON (the two met in Black Brook, NY) and Margaret married James O DWYER. There's a tombstone for a Patrick MCAULIFFE at the Catholic Churchyard in Keeseville, NY that says he was from Kilbrin and died in 1853. But I found my Patrick living on his brother's farm in Essex County on the 1860 census. So I think he died closer to 1863 than 53 and I am therefore not sure if this is my Patrick or not. thanks, Jerry Dwyer Castro Valley, California
