GARDNER / HILLERY / LOUGHERY / Lisdoonvarnaa

Post by andywegner » Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:12 am

James GARDNER / GARDINER m. Bridget HILLERY / HILLARY; known children: 1. Margaret (b. abt. 1833, d. Wisconsin, USA); 2. Jane Hillery GARDNER (b.7 Sept 1835, Lisdoonvarna area, emig. 1846 <?>, d. 1917 Wisconsin, m. Cornelius LOUGHERY, in 1856 in Cherryfield, Washington Cnty, Maine, USA); 3. Anne (Laura Anne) (b.abt 1850!, emig. 1864 <?>, died 1929, Wisconsin). Possible additional child (or perhaps niece?) Mary GARDNER (b. abt 1830, emig.1846 <?>, m. Robert CARNEY, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, d. 1923 Iowa, USA)

Jame GARDNER and Bridget HILLERY are believed to have not emigrated to USA. They may well have had additional children that may or may not have emigrated.
Cornelius LOUGHERY was born 15 July 1832, reportedly near Gort, Co. Galway, possibly the child of "Martin and Katie".

Possilble death record of above Bridget HILLERY GARDNER: "Bridget Gardner, d. 4 March 1873 in Cahernucleary (may have this mis-spelled), Dist. Roadford, Union Ennistymon, female, age 68, married, wife of farmer, Informant: Andrew Hillery, 'present at death', also of Cahernucleary (sp?)". Believe this is in Killilagh Parish, possibly Carrownycleary T.L. Any alternate ideas?

Would love to hear from anyone knowing of this family or having connections to it! thanks much, Mary Wegner. Husband & I will be in Lisdoonvarna area this May 23 to June 6.
