Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me break down my brick wall on my Reilly/O'Reilly/Riley side. I'm trying to find the birth record of Catherine Reilly whose parents are Robert and Catherine Kelly Reilly. Her date of birth is April 27, 1862. Their last child was Jane Reilly and I believe she was born about 1872 or thereabout. She was listed on a GED but the last name was mispelled to Riely or Rielly. The father, Robert Reilly, came to the US with his sons John, James, and Robert and a daughter. He shows up in the 1880 census in Brooklyn with his family. I'm thinking that perhaps his wife died during or shortly after childbirth. The 1880 census shows Robert Reilly in Brooklyn with his two sons--Robert and John--and a daughter. Jane was too young to travel so she remained at home probably with relatives. I believe I have a picture of her taken in Dublin. Anyone have any ideas how I can find out if Jane's mother died in childbirth? I believe she was born @ 1872 in Longford. Her older sister, Catherine, was born in Balinalee on Apr 27, 1872 or maybe 1874. Any suggestions on how to go about finding out more about this family. They supposedly came through Canada to Brooklyn prior to 1880. Maybe after the mother died in childbirth or from some disease and the baby was too young to travel. Suggestions/ideas greatly appreciated. Jane Reilly was living in Dublin in 1924 when her older brother, John, died in Brooklyn NY. Thanks!
