Tom and Karelle,
I was browsing your messages, specifically where I saw the names John and Margaret. I
don't think the dates and parents names don't work out though.
I don't have documented proof that we descend from Ennis, but oral history is that we
come from County Clare and Ennis. My g-g-grandfather is JOHN CARMODY, b. abt. 1822 in
Ireland. He came to Canada before 1846. He married MARGARET SKELLY, b. abt. 1823, in
Ireland. They were married in Ontario, Canada in 1846. They had 11 children. John's
parents, listed on his marriage cert., are MICHAEL CARMODY and BARBARA DOUPE.
Margaret's parents are listed as DONALD SKELLY and ELLEN KENNEDY.
I found "Carmody's Hotel, (& excise office), Micheal Carmody, Church
St." listed under Ennis Hotels in Slater's Directory, 1846. The date for this is
a match for the Michael Carmody that I am looking for. I just can't make the jump
across the Atlantic.
Do any of these names match with anything that you have?
Thanks, Laura Carmody Laura911RN(a)comcast.net
