Hello John, Can you please tell me what you know about Anastasia O'Neill? I think we've exchanged correspondence once before, but my GGgrandfather had a sister Anastasia Nolan. Her mother's name (I think) was Bridget/Bridgid O'Neill and she married Nicholas Nolan, though I haven't any dates.I don't have birth dates for Nicholas, Bridget or their children: James, Mary Jane or Mary Ellen who married Michael Corcoran, Anastasia and my great grandfather Michael who came to America in October 1853. I'm wondering if Anastasia O'Neill might be a sibling of Bridget's. Any other insight would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.

YES! Yes! Bouquets of thanks to Cara for her generous work - truly a gift for all of us. Many thanks! Addendum I meant my Great Great grandparents: Bridget O'Neill and Nicholas Nolan. I still do not have verification of the birth of Michael, my great grandfather, or any of his siblings, though according to his statements on his passage and census records he was born between 1811-1821. I think the family was in Ballycrystal when he came to America in 1853 On Jan 9, 2011, at 2:21 PM, Kathleen Conway wrote: > Hello John, > Can you please tell me what you know about Anastasia O'Neill?

Hi Kathleen, yes we did communicate a few years ago; it is unfortunate but I do not know much about Anastasia O'Neill other than 1) she was married to Eugene Connick, 2) she erected a monument to her husband in 1834 or sometimes after that 3) that monument was erected by her in Ballyanne, 4) consequently it is obvious that she died after him, after 1834; 5) she had at least three children from Eugene : a) my ancestor Owen Thomas who was born sometimes around 1818 and who died in Percé (Canada) in 1877, there are indications that Owen Thomas might be born and baptised in Sutton Parish but I have not found yet any trace of him b) Dennis who died before his father as his name is also on the monument c) Catherine who was born in 1814 (probably in Kilbraney) and died in 1825 (possibly in Kilbraney). Her name with dates this time is also on the monument to her father. 6) Anastasia must be technically although it is far from certain about 5 years to 10 years younger than her husband who is supposed to have been born around 1773. I simply draw that conclusion that men generally will marry women that are of their age or younger and since Anastasia died after him one could at least suppose that she might be a bit younger. 7) It might also be that Anastasia has lived in Kilbraney with her husband but that, upon his death, she had him buried where she lived as a younger woman. and that's where I am stuck ... any ideas from anyone would be welcome John Le Garignon Gatineau (Quebec) Canada -----Message d'origine----- From: Kathleen Conway Sent: Sunday, January 09, 2011 5:21 PM To: irl-wexford@rootsweb.com Subject: [IRL-WEXFORD] ? @ Anastasia O'Neill - reply to John Le Garignon Hello John, Can you please tell me what you know about Anastasia O'Neill?
