KILROY MESSAGE:: Hello Kilroy family! This is a real shot in the dark,
but I know that my family has long lost relatives somewhere in Cleveland. My
grandfather Patrick Cleary's brothers (sons of Mary Kilroy) left Country
Mayo, Ireland (from Lettermaghera) around the late 19th century. I live in
Hull, East Yorkshire, England, UK, where Patrick's son Thomas (my father)
settled. I know that we have connections with a Michael Kilroy who moved to
Ohio. If any of this rings any bells please do get touch.

Greetings...

- The only gaps in my 16 great-great-grandparents are the parents
of Hugh KILROY and his wife Margaret GAFFNEY. Hugh and Margaret
married in the RC Parish of Kilronan, County Roscommon, Ireland,
on 2 February, 1829. The handwritten entry in the Marriage Register
is...
Hugonem(Hugh)KILROY et Mariam (Margaret)GAFFNEY. Jacobi (James)
McNulty et (and) Sue Cooper (Testators).
-
- They lived at nearby Ballyfarnan when their son Thomas Hugh
was born in 1850.
-
- Can you please help me to 'complete' my family?

- My father, John Kilroy, was born in Burnley, England, Sept.
7, 1903. His father's name was also John and he was also born
in Burnley. My grandfather married a woman whose last name was
Coyne. Both families were originally from County Mayo.
-
- My father had three sisters and one brother:
-
- Rose Kilroy--married to Peter Kilroy (a cousin)-- 1 son,
John P. Kilroy
-
- Katherine Kilroy--married Joseph Burke (also from Burnley)-2
sons, 1 daughter, John, William and Mary Francis
-
- Ann Kilroy--married Richard Browne--2 daughters, Ann Marie
and Bernice
-
- Frances Kilroy--married Catherine Welsh--3 daughters, 1 son--Mary
Francis, Ann, Catherine Nora and Martin
-
- My father married Anna Greene in 1934. They had three children--Margaret
Rose, Francis Joseph and John Richard
-
- My grandfather died in Burnley at the age of 45. My grandmother
and eventually her five children came to the U.S. in the 20's
or 30's. They lived for a time in Fall River, Mass. They moved
to New York City and settled in Queens and the Bronx.
-
- I'd love to hear from anyone who thinks there is a connection.
I am excited about the Burnley connection.

- Hello.
- I saw your posting on s.g.surnames, and would be grateful
if you would add an ancestor of my wife's to your database:
-
- Ellen (Helen) KILLROY, born in Ireland abt. 1847, m. in Piketon,
Ohio, USA, 07 Jun 1875 to Edwin Simmons Hurtt (25 May 1853-03
Mar 1912). I can find no evidence of her relations, except an
undefined one with the MOORE family of Chillicothe, Ohio (more
below). She died in Chillicothe, Ohio, on 19 Mar 1877. Their
only child, John Hurtt, was born 11 Jul 1875. He was baptized
at Chillicothe St. Mary's, where his father converted and became
active in the church. The young child was left in the care of
her near relatives James & Anna (McDonnell) Moore, who adopted
the child, his new name being John Aloysius Moore. James Moore
was born in co. Kerry, IE, in Nov. 1831, s/o John & Anna
(Graney) Moore: Anna McDonnell/McDonald was born in Aug 1831
in IE, had a brother Luke McDonell.
-
- I found no obvious connections to the only other Kilroy families
in this state, would you like information on them, though, for
your database? I would be grateful for any clues to her ancestry,
I have been unable to find her in any of the famine ship-lists,
nor in the 1850, 1860, 1870 censuses.

-
- our irish kilroy was believed to be from strokestown, roscommon,
(Thomas Kilroy, came to Baltimore, MD around 1850?), but we've
found nothing to confirm it. My great grandfather, John Kilroy,
married Katherine Lindsay, whose family came from Mayo. Perhaps
there's a connection. Let me know.

- My line has a Kilroy line that could tie into yours since
it was from County Mayo, Ireland. I am attaching a file on all
the Kilroy info I have. Where I fit in is Mary Kilroy, married
to Patrick Hyland is my Great-greatgrandmother.

-
- Got your request for info on my Kilroy ancestors. Was glad
to hear from you. I have just recently learned of my Kilroy surname
heritage and am hoping you may have something in your correspondence
that will help me. Now isn't this an interesting way to answer
your request for help! Please keep this info someplace in your
files. If you ever get a possibly link to any of these folks,
I would appreciate hearing form you.
-
- So here is my story!
-
- I know of a Kilroy family in Ireland with four known children,
possibly more. No, I do not know the county of origin but suspect
they lived in county Mayo or possibly county Sligo. The parents
of these four children were BERNARD and MAGARET KILROY. Bernard
was a farmer and died before 1855. Nothing known about Margaret
other than her name.
-
- The four known children were: MICHAEL KILROY, THOMAS KILROY
(b.1833), BERNARD KILROY (b.1835), and a sister - name unknown.
Family legend says there may have been another brother who immigrated
to Australia. I have no information about him.
-
- Michael Kilroy, probably the oldest son, supposedly stayed
on the family farm in Ireland. I have no information on him.
-
- Thomas Kilroy (b.1833) was a stone mason. He moved to Burnley,
England. Married there in 1855, and had six children all baptized
in a Burnley Catholic church with the last name Kilroy. In 1870,
this family immigrated to Indiana. Family legend says he had
to escape the English army, so I assume he was an Irish rebel.
The family took the surname BRANNAN. Their descendants now spell
the name BRENNAN.
-
- Bernard Kilroy (b.1835) was my ancestor. He immigrated to
the US in 1853 at the age of 18. The passenger ship list includes
him as Barney BRANNAN. Again, family legend says he had to change
his name and leave Ireland because of the English army. I first
found him in Southeastern Indiana in 1866. Bernard, a farmer,
was married at least twice, possible three times. He had 21 known
children. He died in North Dakota in 1916 having outlived all
three of his wives. His descendants spell their name BRANNAN.
-
- The known sister married a GALLAGHER and lived I county Sligo.
She had one known son, Pat Gallagher (b.1851 in county Sligo)
who immigrated to the US in 1871.
-
- So there 'tis. I appreciate your offer to share any info
you may have, or receive, that may help me.
-
- I wish you successful searching.
