Hello all! I am now 99.99% certain that this Daniel O'Connor is indeed my gg grandfather, and that Sarah Somerville was his wife. My father's middle name was "Somerville" and the other information regarding their daughter, Matilda, fits as well. I have even been able to trace this Somerville line back to 1733 in Ireland. This is certainly a thrilling find, and I am indebted to a woman named "Cheryl" for her work in finding this part of my Irish family. A million thanks as I enter this info into my tree!!!!

Kerry. He was born in 1824 (parents unknown at this point) and married "Sarah E" in Hello Sally, While looking at the census records for Leeds for this family, I noticed a family living with Daniel & Sarah O'CONNOR by the name of Simon & Matilda COYLE. Matilda was also born in Ireland and it states her mother is living with them Mary SUMMERVILLE. Following this family it states Matilda's mother was Sarah SUMMERVILLE in other census records. I believe this to be a great coincidence with Daniel & Sarah having a child named Matilda. Matilda SUMMERVILLE m. Simon COYLE Jan-Mar 1853 West Riding, Leeds, Yorkshire Sarah SUMMERVILLE b. 1819 d. Apr-Jun 1881 West Riding, Leeds, Yorkshire Matilda COYLE d. Dec 1889 (sister of Sarah O'Connor??) Matilda O'CONNOR m. John COGAN Apr-Jun 1872 If you haven't already ordered these certificates, they might give you more information on where they were born in Ireland or parents names. In 1891 census Matilda COGAN states she was b. Ireland, Belfast and in 1901 census she is living with her brother Edward O'CONNOR Good Luck, Cheryl ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com To contact the IRL-KERRY list administrator, send an email to IRL-KERRY-admin@rootsweb.com.
