It is possible that he (Jeremiah Kearey/Keary/Carey was born in the Rosemary Street area in 1860 and the family(s) emigrated to Niagara County, NY in 1862/3. Unfortunately, I do not have hard evidence to support my belief and the ever changing spelling of surnames in Irish records only adds to the confusion. Without going into a family pedigree, is it possible that your visit with Kathleen, or her books, would have made reference to the following names or Roscrea Applotment Districts: Keary, Benaghmore; McDoole or Manus, Big Matt House; Tracey, Fourty Acres or Ring of Trees? Do you know of any source that would describe (location) the Districts that are used in the Roscrea Applotments. John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
