Hi, Mike, I have ancestors named Riley from Roscommon who went first to RI and then to CT. You say you've checked other spellings but don't say what those alternatives were. Have you also tried O'Riley or O'Reilly? Also, plain Reilly or Reily? I think Reilly was the more common spelling in Ireland though that's just opinion. If there's any chance John and Sara may have moved to Troy before Charles was born, you might try Rutland, VT. There was a great deal of mobility between Rutland and the NY Capital District and I know there were many Reillys in Rutland from Roscommon's Strokestown-Kilglass area. Good luck.

His parents are listed as John and Sara Riley. My grandfather was born in Troy in 1886 and died in 1926 in Watervliet. I can't find a John and Sara Riley who passed away after 1886. I have checked Troy city hall, Renss. City historical, and the Troy library. I also checked in Watervliet and with NYSOSC Health dept. The 1990 census would have helped. I have Ancestry Someone suggested the Mormons in Latham. Has anyone used their research? I had seen a John and Sara in Lishakills, Watervliet, when Watervliet was a large town. I don't think they would have moved like thar but who knows. I have tried different spelling also. Any tips or suggestions.
