Desperately searching for ANY Conroys in Roscrea, Co Tipperary.

The Ancestor I'm looking for is one Thomas Conroy born around 1902 in Roscrea.

Not even sure of Thomas's parents but I do know that he arrived in England around 1916 - alone.

I realise this is a long shot but there must be loads of budding geneaologists out there looking for a challenge - so if any of you are in Roscrea ........

ANY information on the Conroys or indeed Roscrea will be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance
Julie

Since I posted this message I've found that Thomas was born on 13 September 1899 and has a sister called Greta (also possibly a brother called Joseph) ... is this ringing any bells !!!

I am building a Conroy tree from the ones that came from Lorrha, County Tipperary. The tree I am tracing begins with Michael and Bridget (Hogan) Conroy who were married in Lorrha in 1858. Bridget and Michael had 15(?) children of which aboout 9 immigrated to the U.S. in 1891 or 1892 sailing on the Cephalonia from Queenstown Ireland to Liverpool and then to Boston. They settled in fall River MA. My grandfather was Michael Joseph Conroy, DOB Apr 6, 1882.

Hope to hear from you soon with any info you can share about my ancestors

Sincerely,
Michael J. Conroy
