I love it when people are working on a Cahill especially for
another Cahill. I do know of my Cahills in Missouri in
Lafayette Co, and Clay County, Missouri - Robert Cahill
with wife Honora Hanrahan Cahill with their daughter, my
great grandmother on my Dad's side, Elizabeth Cahill -church records for Mike Cabel
instead of Cahill (mormon records
that need to be corrected because of typo). Mike Cahill
was minning for coal and farming as his parents did about
1871 in Osage County, KS Osage City. Before 1871, Robert
and Honora were in Orange County, New York having lived
there ten years before coming to Osage Co,KS - 10 kids.
I have the passenger records for Robert and Honora'scoming over .
Only knowledge of one other place of living because of the
death of a child and a note in the back of Osage County, KS
cemeteraries book is a newspaper clipping of my grandfather
Mike Cahill and wife Mary Fitzgerald Cahill loosing a child
Thomas- while they were in a town in southwest Missouri
and I'll need to look up the county.
A periodical in Johnson County Library mentions another
periodical (again I need to find) of a photo of Cahills in MO.
So there may be a connection.
Dublin was a known visiting place of my grandmother
Elizabeth Cahill when she took a few trips to Ireland.
Tombstones of Fitzgeralds mention county Queens(Coolderry)
and a city and a southeastern county. The obit of Honora
mentions county Kerry, and marriag4 for Robert and Honora
at a place called Ballinturn-which no one seems to know abt.
I will look up specifics if anyone wants info.
county Ireland and an obit for Honora mentions county Kerry
