Still hoping that someone on these lists will see something that they know
one of our relatives:
Arrived NY cc 1886-7
Thomas CONROY,b 1865 Mayo,son of Tho.Conry & Mary Costello, had a brother
James who was still in Ireland in 1885.Believe they lived in Nympsfield,
Cong, Mayo. This is on the River Corrib.
Thomas married a Mary Flaherty/Faherty,daughter of Michael Flaherty & Nora
Forde, who came to NY cc 1885 with all their children about 11 of them. They
were from Annaghdown, Galway which is also on the southern part of the River
Corrib about 10 miles from Thomas. Thomas & Mary married in Feb 1889 in
Brooklyn by a priest at 1197 Classon av,Bklyn . Was there a church there?
No one seems to know
They stated their address on the marriage application as 136 Wallabout st
and 433 Greene av.Yet neither are listed in the city directory.
Their witness were her sister Margaret Flaherty & a Patrick Lyden
Mary came from a large family and most of them works around the docks or
ship yards.
Her brothers were, Michael, John, Thomas (work in the navy yd, was a civil
war vet) Andrew ( worked for the BLYN Union Gas) James, Patrick.
Her sisters were Margaret, Honor, & Ellen.
We know that Thomas Flaherty had 3 children ,wife Sadie, he died 1918,
children Raymond, Thomas & his daughter. His brother Patrick died in
1942,wife Annie, Children is a ????. the brother Andrew kept the name as
Faherty,and he married a Margaret McDonald and they had a daughter . They
lived in 1950 at 207 Moffat st, Bklyn,
Anyone that can add or shed some light on this family please email us.
Thanks to all
