Family History

Post by researcher » Fri Sep 05, 2008 9:12 pm

My Great-Grand Father - James O'Neill was born in Clare Castle, Co Clare, on 22/04/1832. He left Ireland age about 17 years and enlisted in the Army - he has a row of seven medals, one of which was the Legion of Honour. He died in Bury-St-Edmunds, Suffolk (England) on 9/11/1913 age 81 years.

James married Margaret O'Neill who was born in Ancaster Canada West on 4/12/1841. They were married in 1864. With the name O'Neill her parents must have originated in Ireland. I know no more about the early life or their parents etc.

Does anyone know if there is any chance of finding any more family history in Ireland about James O'Neill?

I would be grateful for any help or advice.
