They all immigrated to Auburn, MA. The Farrells arrived in New York on 2 May 1859 with three children Elizabeth age 12, Mary age 7 and John age 6. The Gillooley's arrived in New York on 19 Feb 1855. I have some information that indicates these families were from Co. Leitrim. Michael Farrell was born about 1813. Father: John Farrell Mary O'Brien was born about 1818 Father: Michael O'Brien Mother: Mary John Gillooley was born about 1828 Father: Patrick Galooley Mother: Ann Ann Farrell was born 11 Dec 1831 Father: Michael Farrell Mother: Mary O'Brien Michael Farrell and Mary O'Brien were married in Ireland. John Gilloolely and Ann Farrell were married in either Ireland or Scotland. I'm searching for the townland in Leitrim where they were from. The Gillooley name has been a problem. In different sources it is spelled so many different ways. Gillooley, Gilooley., Gallooley, Galooley, Galouly, and Gilhooly, Gilhooley. All for the same John.
