I'm interesting in finding out if you or your ancestors could be related to my
grandmother and her sister. Their names are Julia and Kate Carolan. They were born in
County Meath (supposedly around Navan according to UNRELIABLE sources). They came to the
US in 1892 and 1893, becoming nannies for wealthy couples in the NYC area. Kate
eventually returned to Ireland but Julia married and stayed and raised her family. Their
parents were supposedly Peter and Mary but I have a feeling this is not correct.
Julia's mother and father-in-law were named Peter and Mary and I believe that there is
some confusion as to what people are remembering. I have found a Julia Carolan born in
Co. Meath on April 17, 1873. Her parents were Phillip and Jane Carolan. This date is the
same day as Julia was born. Kate was either a little older or a little younger than
Julia. Anything sound familiar or maybe your mother might have some insight as to the
ancestors or descendants of this family. !
Julia and Kate
were supposedly 2 siblings out of 8 or 9.
