I am researching these individuals and their families: Bridget SCULLY of Laois (Mountmellick area), daughter of Thomas SCULLY. Born ~ 1861. William MOONEY of Offaly (Tullamore area), son of Francis MOONEY. Born ~ 1853. Married in Mountmellick on Oct. 6, 1881. Lots of offspring, most (including my granddad Francis) settled in USA states of CT and NY during the 1920s; one (Thomas) remained in Tullamore; one (Patrick) settled in Glasgow, Scotland. And these: Patrick CUSKELLY of Offaly (Tullamore area), son of Terence CUSKELLY. Born June 1861. Hannah Maria FLAHERTY of Kerry (Listowel area), daughter of Maurice FLAHERTY and Bridget BROWN. Born Sept. 8, 1872. Married in Listowel district, Kerry on Feb. 3, 1891. Three children: Michael Joseph, Mary Bridget (my grandmom), and Margaret Mary. Don't know what happened to Michael; Mary settled in CT with my granddad; I think Margaret died before adulthood.
