From: Roe Merola [mailto:srmerola@optonline.net] Sent: Sunday, August 04, 2013 12:42 PM To: 'IRL-KERRY@rootsweb.com.' Subject: Foley/folsey I have been reading the past posts and I am wondering if Foley is sometimes Folsey. My ggrandmother Mariah O'Leary came from Kenmare. I have hit a . <mailto:IRL-KERRY@rootsweb.com.> brick wall with my dad's family. He was orphaned at age 9 so he himself didn't know much.What I have found out is that Mariah O'Leary was born in Kenmare (from an obituary I found)I from the Census she was born around 1830. I think that she married Patrick Folsey in Ireland so assume he came from the area of Kenmare and I believe they immigrated to NYC around 1850. He was a tailor and they lived around Clarkson St downtown NYC. They had 4 boys & 1 girl. 2 boys died around their late 20's early 30's never married to my knowledge, 1 son James Folsey possibly married and had a child, Martin Folsey married but had no children. My great grandmother Mary Folsey married William Reddy, he died in 1909, Mary died in 1911. Their son my dad age 9 at that time was raised by Martin and his wife Mary Folsey. I found the tombstone in Calvary Cemetery and the spelling is Folsey but I do believe Martin had the spelling as Falsey. I have not been able to find anything but the above information. If there are any suggestions, I would appreciate it very much. Catherine
