BRIDGET CONBOY & MICHAEL BRADY

teresapearcy1 — 2009-10-21 18:04:52Z

I'm looking for any info on Bridget Conboy born c.1856 who married my Gt grandfather Michael Brady. I have no idea where she was born but I know that she was still alive and living in Dublin City when Michael Brady died in 1927.

I have been unable to obtain a marriage certificate from the Dublin/Roscommon Records Office, so I have no idea who her father is.

The earliest birth record of their children found ........was in June 1874, Coolmine, Co. Dublin. Other children born in Dublin City up to 1894.

Can anybody help me or is My Bridget Conboy one of your relatives too? Regards...Teresa

Also John Brennan, brother of Honora Henry, and a niece of Honora Henry, named Bridget Conboy, who arrived in this country about a year ago. Apply to this office."

The LDS has the Philadelphia marriage index from 1885 onward on their site. It lists last names and year of marriage with index number. By cross-referencing you can determine who married whom and send off to the City of Philly for a copy or record.

John Conboy

irishojos1948 — 2009-06-01 12:30:01Z

I am searching the Conboy and conroy ancestory. My great grandparents were edward Conroy and Sarah Jane Conboy born in Frontenac County Ontario. John Conboy was Sarahs father. He was born In Ireland around 1791. So far I have found a death registration for a John Conboy , registered in the county of Frontenac division of Olden on the 24 th of August 1889. There was a document that said he was born in Sligo Ireland but it wasn't an original document as his death registration was. I would like to find his wife, My great, great great great grandmothers identity.

I recently received a marraige record for an ancestor in County Wexford, Ireland and John Conboy and "Henery" Walker are listed as Witnesses. Since my family surname is Walker it has proven to be a huge undertaking locating the correct Walkers. I am looking for clues possibly through their friends and neighbors. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello
Luke Conboy and Annie Kelley were my great-great-grandparents. Luke Conboy, Jr. was my great-grandfather and Dorothy (Conboy) Larner of MA is my grandmother. My grandmother shared with me that Annie Kelley emigrated to the United States alone in order to avoid an arranged marriage. From what my grandmother remembers, Luke and Annie had a very happy marriage and enjoyed entertaining. I've heard bits and pieces about some of the other people you mention and wanted to thank you for putting it together in this way.
I hope your part of the family is happy and healty!

MaryWilson585 — 2009-02-08 17:55:00Z

Desperately looking for our missing gg-Aunt Brigid/Margaret (Gannon) CONBOY. Given first name is Brigid, but was called "Margaret" once arrived in Philadelphia about late 1890s or early 1900s. Her nephew's WWI draft registration card record shows in "nearest relative" that she likely married a CONBOY, and family writings state that she had at least one daughter, whom she also named "Margaret". (Daughter Margaret might have married a LEINHAUSER in Philadelphia.)

Brigid/Margaret, born in the 1860s in Mayo, Ireland, had a brother Austin Joseph Gannon (1871-1941, married to a Heneghan/Hannigan) as well as several sisters who also came to Philadelphia.

Do any Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, most likely) CONBOY descendants have a record of one of their ancestors being a Brigid/Margaret GANNON??? We have not located any of this gg-aunt's descendants but have a strong foothold on her siblings'. M. Wilson - stella33@verizon.net

Re: CONBOY'S from Leitrim

TwistConboy — 2009-02-01 16:13:16Z

I am a descendant of John Benedict Conboy (1866-1917) of Roosky, Ireland. His father according to the Mormon Website was George Conboy. I am too trying to link our Conboy member to the Conboys listed on the Griffiths page. John emmigrated from Ireland in 1888 to Manhatten, NY and married Veronica Hogan. John owned JB Trucking and Warehousing. The Conboy's according to family members were Irish Catholics that owned land donated from the King of Spain to Ireland and given to the Earls of Leitrim as return of favors. The family rode horses at night chasing people off their land.

Any insight is truly appreciated

Conboy Family - Settled in Toronto 1860 -1869

ThomasConboy70 — 2008-11-03 04:25:45Z

James Conboy was from Sligo, Ireland. There is rumour that he first went to the USA and then moved to Toronto, Ontario approx. late 1860's. Married Sarah Smith, from Ireland, in Toronto in 1869. He was a market gardner and two of his sons became doctors -- Fred J Conboy, dentist, and later Mayor of Toronto in 1940 -1944. The other brother was Dr. Richard Smith Conboy, a well respected physician in Toronto. Anyone know of this family?

Alan,you and I have corresponded before although it has been quite some time. Most Scollans are from Northern Ireland. My great grandfather Patrick Scollan was born in Enniskillen about 1859. He eventually moved to Northumberland,England and married Mary Anne Quinn who was much younger than him. They moved to NYC in 1923

Re: Scollan Family

richardarthurnorton — 2007-12-27 21:24:25Z

Margaret Agnes Conboy (1866-1951) aka Maggie Conboy; Immigrant from Ireland to USA around 1880 to 1882, Indentured Servant at Rooming House in Brooklyn (b. October 1866, Hollygrove, Athleague, Killeroran, County Roscommon/Galway, Ireland - d. Tuesday, November 07, 1951, Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey, 07307, USA)

Birth:
Margaret was the daughter of James Conboy I (1837-1902) and Bridget White (c1840-1866?).

Emigration:
Her mother, Bridget, was said to have died in childbirth and James, her father, took the children to New York in the United States around 1880-1882.

Siblings:
Margaret's siblings include: James Conboy II (c1862-?); Patrick Conboy (1864-1927) who emigrated to the US and lived in Arizona but is buried in Jersey City, New Jersey; and Thomas Conboy (c1865-?). All her siblings are mentioned in her autograph book, and so is a cousin named Katherine Doulin who may be a Hogan or a Conboy that married a Doulin. Several Hogans from Hollygrove came to the US and they are her cousins.

Rooming house:
Margaret worked at a rooming house with her two cousins: Sarah Jane Carr (1866-1950) aka Sadie Carr, who married Patrick J. Norton (1856-1905); and Katherine Carr (1865-1952) aka Kitty Carr, who married James Joseph Kennedy (1870-1926).

Marriage:
Around 1890 Margaret married Owen McLaughlin (1863-1931). Owen ran a coal and ice delivery business in Jersey City. The oral family tradition has been that they were married at Old Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, although no certificate has been located yet. There was also a Saint Patrick's Church in Hudson County, New Jersey.

Children:
Together they had three children: James Alyosius McLaughlin (1892-1964) who never married; Katherine Agnes McLaughlin (1893-1989) who married William Thomas Rankin I (1890-1970); and Margaret Mary McLaughlin (1897-1985) aka Marge McLaughlin, who married Christopher Aloysius Enright I (1888-1980).

Jersey City, New Jersey:
In 1900 Margaret was living at 152 McAdoo Avenue in Jersey City.

Death:
She died in 1951, living at 28 McAdoo Avenue.

Burial:
She was buried in Holy Name Cemetery with: Owen McLaughlin, who was her husband; James Conboy II, who was her son; James Conboy I, who was her father; and Patrick Conboy who was her brother.

Funeral notice:
Her obituary from the Jersey Journal reads as follows: "McLaughlin - of 28 McAdoo Avenue on Tuesday, November 5, 1951, Margaret A. McLaughlin (nee Conboy) beloved wife of the late Owen E. McLaughlin. Devoted mother of James A. McLaughlin, Mrs. Catherine A. Rankin and Mrs. Margaret M. Enright."

Relationship:
Margaret Agnes Conboy (1866-1951) was the first cousin, three times removed of Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ). She was the grandmother of Christopher Aloysius Enright II (1927- ).

The 1911 Dublin City Census has just revealed that my Gt Grandmother Bridget Brady nee Conboy was born in Co.Roscommon. Her parents were Patrick Conboy and Marie Stafford.

Possibly had a sister Ann Conboy who was a sponsor to one of Bridget's daughters Catherine Brady in 1887 and also Bridget's son Patrick Brady in 1891.

Chrisbrew42, thank you for your post. My GGF Thomas Coyneen arrived in US prior to 1848 when his son was born in Connecticut. Don't know anything prior to 1848. Can you help? Also looking for Cox - would that be in your area?

Re: Thomas Conboy County Longford

teresapearcy1 — 2007-08-15 16:18:39Z

You're welcome. I hope you can get his certificate as it should give his address then you will know exactly where his parents were living.

I know what you mean about some of the Irish Births not being registered. My Mum wasn't either (1916 Dublin City) or her Mother's sister Martha 1884. Luckily we have their baptism certificates.

I also found 2 of my Gran's (Brady) siblings on the IGI records on the LDS website, got copies of those and discovered that one was born in Coolmine Co Dublin and the other in Rathmines, Co. Dublin.

Have you searched on there too by entering just the parents names, and Ireland to see if anything else comes up?

Re: Thomas Conboy County Longford

jtemhof — 2007-08-15 13:12:57Z

Thank you for your reply. I have downloaded the application and will mail it. I have just received his naturalization records which confirm his birthdate. I just hope his parents registered his birth. For some reason, my grandmother's parents never registered her birth and there is no cert for her. I also could not obtain baptismal records for her from County Mayo.
Thank you again.

Re: Thomas Conboy County Longford

teresapearcy1 — 2007-08-15 09:20:31Z

As you have your Grandfather's DOB you should be able to get his birth certificate from Ireland. You can apply by post and print off the application form from their websites. One for Northern Ireland and one for Southern Ireland. See below:

NORTHERN IRELAND GRO:

http://www.groni.gov.uk/index.htm

The Beginnings of Registration

In 1845 legislation came into force which provided for the registration of civil marriages in Ireland and for the regulation of all non Roman Catholic marriages. It also created the Office of the Registrar General who remains to this day responsible for the collation and custody of all birth, death and marriage records.

Further legislation, which became operative in 1864, provided for the inclusion of Roman Catholic marriages, together with birth and deaths. A comprehensive registration system was now in place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOUTHERN IRELAND (Eire) GRO:

http://www.groireland.ie/

Our records of marriages other than Roman Catholic marriages date back to 1st April 1845 . Records of Births, Deaths and Roman Catholic Marriages date back to 1st January 1864

Sponsors: John Evan & ANNE CONBOY.

Born: 24 March 1891 in Dublin City.

I am looking for information on my grandfather Thomas P. Conboy from Clooneen (Shanly) County Longford.

He worked on the railroad here in Pennsylvania and died around 1959. His WWI registration shows county Longford as his place of birth. His brother Michael's registration shows Cloneen, Longford as his birthplace. In the US Thomas and Marie had 4 children, Kathleen, Christopher, Marie and Helena.

James was married to "Margaret McHUGH" dob. 1840 and they lived out in Lisdadnan, Mohill. Co. Leitrim.

Does anyone in Mohill have "James CONBOY" in their family line.
Did my Great Grandfather have any Brothers or Sisters?

In the 1901 census on Leitrim-Roscommon web site, my Great Grandfather is shown to be working as a labourer and living in Lisdadnan with his wife and 3 of his children, plus his Daughter in Law ( the wife of James Conboy, who was our Grandfather) and his Grandson.
John was known as James within our family., and he was married to Nellie Winters

Names from the 1901 Census

Hi Chris

I'm guessing that my Bridget Conboy was born abt 1853-56.

I have managed to find some children of Michael Brady & Bridget Conboy born between 1874-1894 in Dublin County and Dublin City.

Do these names crop up in your family at all?

Catherine, Daniel (named after his Grandfather Daniel Brady), Martha Jane, Emily Florence (my Gran) and Josephine Florence. I'm wondering if the girls names are Conboy related names. Kathleen crops up in is the next 2 generations too.

Mary Ann CONBOY was born on 11th April 1903 and she married "William Holmes" on 3/3/1922. In St. Patricks Roman Catholic Church, Mohill, Co. Leitrim, Ireland.

Mary Ann Conboy was one of the children born to "John and Julia CONBOY ( nee Gormley)" who lived in Lisdadnan, Mohill. Co. Leitrim

William Holmes was son of Herbert Holmes. William was born in 1895, in Ireland. At the time of the wedding his Father was known to be living in Aldershot. Hampshire, England

The witnesses to the marriage were "George Smullen and Emily Lyons."

Does anyone know if the Holmes were from England or were they emigrants from Ireland?

Did Mary and William stay in Mohill, or did they leave to start their new lives in another country?

There are some Bridget Conboys on LDS site but as I have no idea who her father was or where she came from....I'm stumped. I'm hoping to find something out when the 1901/1911 Dublin City Census comes on line in the next couple of years.

we don't know much about the Conboys, except that Thomas Conboy came from Rosscommon. He must have been born about 1800-1815. There may have been some aunties called Bridget and I know there was one called Honor but I'm not sure if they were Conboys or not. I think these two were nuns, though.

Hi Angela

Do you have a Bridget Conboy in you family then who was born c.1856?

As from the birth certificates that I have of her children (Bradys) and her husband, Michael Brady's Death certificate, she was in Dublin from 1874-1927.

I know that some of her children came over to London
after they were married from 1928 onwards. Apart from that I have no other information on Bridget.

Other married family names of her daughters (the ones that I know of) are...Pollard, Thorpe, McDorey and Rooney.
Regards...Teresa
