I'm trying to locate the town in Tipp. where William O,Connor [1822 to 1887] was born. It began with "Ball........" [surprise ! ] He married Bridget Burns [orig. O'Byrne] ....[1821 to 1910 ] Bridget was the daughter of Thomas and Catherine [Condon] O'Byrne. Bridget had 7 siblings, James, Thos., Terrance, Patrick,Margaret, Ellen, Kathryn and John [ Upon recount....make that 8] I recently discovered an elderly aunt in the area and she is putting together more info. for me . Other names she mentioned on the phone were Quigley, McIntosh, Joyce, Ford. I'll attempt to put it all together after I have a visit with her. There was some mention of time spent in Penn. More Later, Brian Connors, Wisconsin
