Ann I'm pretty sure that Reid and Reidy are two different names. All of my Reidys came from the Castleisland, County Kerry, area and there are a bunch of us searching and trying to make contacts with each other. This is a pretty up-to-date list as far as I know. Ray Marshall Minneapolis Castleisland, County Kerry, Reidys My ggf, Jeremiah Reidy, emigrated from Kerry in 1872. I was fortunate in that I had two great aunts who were able to tell me exactly where he was born. I have been engaged in researching the family since the 1970s and have discovered a whole raft of Reidys from Castleisland and vicinity - 31 families or branches of families, to be exact. There were over 100 families with the name Reidy in County Kerry on the 1901 or 1911 Census. Other major concentrations of Reidys are found in County Clare and County Tipperary. I have read that there were many in County Derry (Londonderry) back in the days before the Scottish Plantations in 1600. My Jeremiah came from Meenleitrim North townland just north of Castleisland in Castleisland Civil Parish. Meenleitrim North and South were located in Brosna Catholic Parish until 1916 until the western, Castleisland portion of that parish split off from Brosna and formed Knocknagoshel Catholic parish. If you can't find them in Castleisland, numbers of Reidy families are found in Griffiths Valuation in the following County Kerry Civil Parishes: Castleisland (72); Ballincuslane (13); O'Brennan (8); Ballymacelligott (5); Killeentierna (5); (Novahal 5); Currans (4); Dysert (2); Duagh (1); and Brosna (1). These are all near Castleisland. Other Kerry Civil Parishes with a Significant number of Reidy families can be found in the following Civil Parishes: Ballyduff (9); Tralee (7); Killarney (6) and Kilmoyly (5). Here is a list of what I have found on the Kerry list and the people researching them. Unfortunately, as many as there are, we haven't been able to put much together.

My great-great grandmother was Mary Ready, married to Dennis Sullivan also of County Kerry. Mary Ready Sullivan was born in Benlietrum (Meenlietrum). According to her death certificate, her father's name was John. We have two different dates of birth for her. According to family lore, she was born on Good Friday, 1842. According to her death certificate, she was born on January 10, 1836. Family lore also has that her father served in the British military - possibly Royal Navy. Mary had a brother John. According to the 1900 census, Mary came to the United States in 1854. According to the 1910 census, it was 1850. Dennis Sullivan came later in 1855. Mary Ready and Dennis Sullivan were married in Pittsburgh, PA in March of 1856. Witnesses to the marriage were Michael Mulvohil and Helena Costello. According to records that were in my great-aunt's attic, Mary's mother's name could possibly had been Sarah Albina or Alvina. However, on her death certificate, her mother's name was not listed. Mary died in St. Louis in October of 1922 at her daughter-in-law's home. [Also] My Great-great grandmother was Mary Reidy (also spelled Ready), born in Benleitrim aka Meenleitrim Good Friday, 1842. She married Dennis Sullivan in Pittsburgh, PA in 1856, and the family was in Missouri by 1860 (Hi John). She died October 22, 1922 in St. Louis, and was taken back to be buried in Sedalia, Missouri. She had two brothers that we know of, John Joseph Ready of Meridian, Mississippi and a brother Maurice that was in Vicksburg, MS. (Hi George). The family story that helped George and my sister and I to connect was about my great-uncle John Berchman Sullivan. John B. was a U.S. Representative for Missouri in the 1940's. He died in D.C. in January of 1951. His wife, Lenore Kretzer Sullivan later ran for and won his seat. She served for 24 years (we can blame child safety caps on asprin on her). George's family story had them as being Mary's son and daughter-in-law. John B was actually her grandson. On the 1880 census for Kelly Twp. Cooper County, Missouri,! there was a Daniel Reidy (also looks like Rudy) that lived on the farm next door to Dennis and Mary. He and his wife had several daughters and two boys listed as others, last name Murphy. Only time we have seen them, not sure if related. Mary Sullivan Pittsburgh Change 2005: Mary Sullivan: (email:auntlahlee@comcast.net) My great-great grandmother, Mary Ready was born in Benlietrum (Meenlietrum),County Kerry.

He was a foreman at the Comet Mine.

Ireland 1830 to Wm. Pendergast and Catherine O'Rourke. They married in NY state. There were 13 children. Names and spouses can be sent if any of this sounds familiar. Thanks, Ann
