    1. [RINEWPOR] MORE CONNOLLY COAL MINERS
    2. Seeking any information on the family of Timothy Connolly and Margaret Sullivan. They arrived in Portsmouth, RI from the Beara Peninsula in Cork, Ireland following the mining strike of 1864. Their fifth child Patrick was born in Portsmouth, RI in 1865. Timothy, Margaret and five of their children appear in the 1870 census for Portsmouth. The family eventually settled in Fall River, but the oldest son Timothy J. Connolly stayed to work in the mines. He married Elizabeth Cocoran, who was born in Portsmouth, RI, and he died in Fall River in 1940. Is anyone researching this family? Paula
