A Good day to all , I am trying to locate any family descendents of any siblings of my great grandfather a Charles Michael O'Connor. I know the information I have is close to being non existant, and this is the last brick wall of 163 years to knock down ,and that I don't have much hope of finding a common name as O'Connor in Limerick. I could do with some help though in this area research of O'Connor.& would be very grateful for any pointers in the right direction please. "Seminaries "in the Limerick area & may be indication of Teachers colleges etc? All that information that I have for Charles Michael O'Connor coming from Ireland , is in an early letter written by Sultana (his wife)to one of her grandchildren who wrote:-that he came from Limerick Ireland,Charles Michael O'Connor was born in 1845 Est. , in Limerick he was the son of a John O'Connor Of Limerick.John's wife's names are unknown. Family stories have it that he had a brother ( forename unknown ) who became an R.C. Priest ,and a sister (forename unknown) who became a school teacher.

Hi Bill Your search would need to include CONNORS and CONNOR as well, as in my experience they were interchangeable in Limerick. I put my CONNORS search in the "Too Hard" basket for now, and I have a parish.

Hi Beryl, Many thanks for your input into my query into the O'Connor in Limerick, Thank you I will keep it in mind that Connor &Connors when searching for my O'Connor. Yes I also fear that I too will eventually put it in the "too hard basket." I also have very little to go upon .and if I had just a parish it might make all the difference. Did your family of O'Connor's settle in Australia ? mine came via Limerick ,and India.post 1870 have accounted for three girls, but have three boys a Charles Raoul O'C ,a William O'C and a George O'C' who are missing in the family in India. around 1807 1918. Well thank you again for your help Beryl. Have a nice day , Bill In Weymouth N.Z. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beryl O'Gorman" <bezbri@optusnet.com.au> To: <irl-limerick@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2008 2:20 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-LIMERICK] Searching for O'Conno'sr from Limerick 1845aprox. > Hi Bill > Your search would need to include CONNORS and CONNOR as well, as in my > experience they were interchangeable in Limerick.
