Trying to locate anyone who knows of the following 2 people
1 - Elizabeth (bc 1810 - 1830)
2 - Abey (bc unknown)
1 - Elizabeth (marriage or family connection.)
My GG GM was Elizabeth Cahill according to my G GF's 1890 marrige registration. I do
not know where in Ireland she came from but I strongly assume it is Co. Cork. I also
don't know where in Cork my GG GF or G GF was born as my GF's parents both passed
away before he was 10.
I suspect she is the Elizabeth Cahill that appears in LDS but can't know for sure:
Elizabeth CAHILL
Sex: F
Event(s): Christening: 27 Jul 1833 Roman Catholic, Boherbue, Cork, Ireland
Parents: Father: David CAHILL Mother: Catherine LUCY
Does anyone have an Elizabeth Cahill in their line?
2 - Abey (marriage or family connection.)
My GF's 1895 baptismal had a sponsor of Abey Cahill. She could have been an aunt or
cousin based on his GM's name above. This Abey may or may not have been married to
the other sponsor on the baptismal notation whcich is Micahel Roche. I serache dNY census
around 1900 to no avail to find a Michael Roche and Abey as his wife. THey also may not
have even been present at the baptism.
Does anyone have an Abey Cahill in their line?

The following note speaks of my Great Great Great grandparents
On Jan 19/1890 at St. Peter's Church, Jersey City, NJ, USA
Thomas DENNEHY (bc 1865) son of Jeremiah DENNIHY(DENNEHY) Elizabeth CAHILL (mar circ.
1825-1845 - a guestimate).
(names based on the parish register father's named confirmed by Thomas's death
certificate
mother was stated just as Hannah Dennehy on the death cert)
marries Ellen JONES (bc Nov 1865 of ???, Co. Kerry) daughter of John JONES Margaret
ENRIGHT somewhere in Co. Kerry Ireland. (mar circ. 1825-1845) (family lore as to location)
(see below for additional Jones info)
According to his death certificate he would have came to America in 1887 at the age of
22-23.
They then moved into NYC and he was a "Coachman" (a driver) but died in Dec. of
1898.
They had 4 children.
John J, Mary Margaret, Thomas, Jeremiah Thomas (my gf)
John J and Thomas both die before the age of 10.
According to the NYC directories of the time, they lived in the
east 50's of NYC from 1891-1898 until he dies.
A William McGUIRE "Livery" of 154 East 56th St witnessed his Naturalization on
10/22/1891
Thomas DENNEHY was living at 224 East 59th St at that time.
Ellen JONES DENNEHY remarries a Daniel McAVOY and lived near 116 St in NYC
She eventually dies in 1908. He was a laborer.
They had one child Daniel Jr who dies at about 1 years old.
Two people in the St. Peter's marriage register as witnesses were a Mary JONES and W.
Timothy ENRIGHT.
I am unsure of the exact relationship of the last two people.
If you have any knowledge of any of these people or surnames in Jersey City NJ from
1880-1900,
or anywhere) please contact me.
I also have the following Enrights living at 242 1st Street in Hoboken NJ
from the 1891 Jersey City Directory
James Enright
James Enright Jr. - a porter
Timothy Enright - Liquor (this may very well be the Timothy who was the witness)
Michael Enright - Bartender
and
John J Enright at 31/2 5th St Jersey City - a clerk
