Author: nmars Surnames: Reilly Deegan Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.lex.general/2830/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Family lore says that our ancestor James REILLY was born in 1851 in Laois Co. He died 18-10-1915 in Dromagh, Co. Cork. On 23-10-1873 he married Ellen DEEGAN, born 18-01-1857 in Ballyadams, Co. Laois. The marriage was in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny. I have so far been unable to confirm the date and place of the birth of James Reilly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also been unable to determine where and when his wife Ellen died. I live in The Netherlands, which makes it difficult to visit local archives etc. Thank you very much. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
