I am operating on scraps of information I got from my Mom who was an Orphaned in her early
teens. My grandfater James J Carmody was born in Illinois on October 2, 1880 or 81. I was
told he was born near where Abraham Lincoln was from, so I thought Springfield, he then
lived near the Chicago Stockyard. So I assumed he moved to Chicago. His family moved
around alot. His Father was Patrick F. Carmody, and his Mother was Margaret Conklyn. She
was born in New Jersey. He had a brother Bernard Benjamin who was born in Indiana in Feb.
12 1878. I later located them in the Jersey City N.J. 1900 cencus. At that time Margaret
is a widow. Patrick died on April 17, 1895. He was born in Ireland in June 1857. He had a
sister Joanna who married a John Carmody, and a brother Thomas born in 1859. Their Mother
Bridget brought them to America in the 1860's. Thats all I know about them. My
Grandmother Carmody was an O'brien her father was born in Ireland, I think in Boyle,
Roscommon. I've been wo!
rking on this for about ten years now but havn't been able to connect James to
Illinois, nor his brother to any Indiana Carmody's. Its frustrating, but I keep on
working on it. Thank you for your reply I appreciate any help I can get.
