Hello-
Have many Cahills that I would love to have some information on. Any help
with any of them would be appreciated. My Father was a Cahill who married a
Cahill. Supposedly not related, so they tell me.
Father's side:
Edward Cahill born in Ireland, married to I think, a Mary Desmond from
Ireland. Probably born around or about 1830. They may have lived in
Dorchester, Mass.
They had two sons- John Henry and another one who I do not know his name.
John Henry Cahill was born in 1856 and married Mary E. Reagan. They had one
son, Vincent S. Cahill.
The other son had a son named William Cahill, William had two children, a son
named William Jr., (Billy) and a daughter. The son was married to a
Lorraine. In 1943 they lived in Atlanta, GA., and I have also heard that
they may have lived in Shrewsbury, Mass.
Mother's side:
Henry F. Cahill born in England probably around 1850. He was married to
Sarah Foley from Virginia. They lived in Mass. and Maine.
Their child was Henry F. Cahill probably born around 1879. He was married to
Agnes H. Scott from Ellsworth, Maine. He worked as a railroad brakeman.
Family lore has it that they died in a railroad accident around 1915, but
haven't been able to find out anything on that, or where they died or were
buried.
Their children were: Charles Edmund Cahill born on July 6, 1904 in Bangor,
Maine. He was married to Florence Katherine Lynch. He was in the Merchant
Marine, was stationed at Rhode Island, and they lived in Wollaston, Mass.
Other children were George, Robert, Marian and Kathryn Cahill. I have no
information on them.
If any one has any information on any of these people I would appreciate
it. I have not been able to go any further in my research, so I am hoping
that I will get a lead from someone out there.
Thanks so much.
Elizabeth
