When my grandmother Julia Howard (later Mrs. Edw.Brennan) arrived in
Chicago in 1907
her passenger manifest (Ellis Island) states she was going to her
"Cousin Nora Ahern" who was living at 1343 Watson Ave. Chicago.
Traveling with gramma from Listowel was Catherine Dillon.
Catherine Dillon also stated her destination was "Cousin Nora Ahern"
of the same Watson Ave address in Chicago.
Catherine Dillon listed her father as Thomas Dillon of LIstowel.
Does anyone have either this CATHERINE DILLOR or NORA AHERN in their
Most appreciative of your thoughtful reply and for all the valued information.
I will discuss it with my cousins and co-researchers and sort it out.
Nice to know about the Hannons, thank you.
The John and William Brennan in Guhard in 1901 were my grampas, Edmond/Edward's father (John) and uncle (William).
One of those two Eugene's in 1901 was another brother of John and William, all sons of a Philip who was married to a Mary Broder/Broderick from Farranastack. That's were the Broder/Brodericks come
into the picture.
Hope this list is of some help to you and others.
All the best,

I remember my grandmother talking about these folks because the name Goulding didn't sound Irish. I think they were my grandfather's cousins and they lived in the Bronx section of New York. The
sisters of this man were called the "Dolly Sisters" and I believe one of them had the married name Harrington.
Can't remember much else except the Harringtons had like 12 kids and half of them were clergy.

The Stack family's roots are in County Kerry, Ireland, dating back, according to most accounts, to 1286 with the arrival of a Nicholas Stack who, according to family legend, descended from a member
of the army of William the Conqueror. Other versions place the Stacks in Wales as early as the 8th Century. In either event, they were Norman, and came to Ireland with Richard, Earl of Pembroke,
called Strongbow, at the invitation of the Leinster king, and with the approval of Henry II of England and Pope Adrian, supposedly to end the constant warring among the various kings in the four
provinces. Thus was laid England's historical claim to Ireland.
The Stacks were of, or at least allied with the various Fitzgerald and Fitzmaurice clans, the famous Geraldines, or Gheradini, who rode with William, and left Wales to become the lords and knights of Kerry. These clans set up their court at Lixnaw, and the Stacks, connected to the Fitzgeralds by marriage, were awarded extensive tracts nearby at what was Castletown, and later Kilflynn.
The Stacks de Crotta, from whom our family descends, takes that name from the residence they built at Crotta in 1320. (See picture) Henceforth, the entire area from Kilflynn, for several centuries called Stackstown, to Abbeydorney and eastward became known as "Pubble Stack," or Stack's country - even to the extent of having Stack Mountain named for them.
By the 16th century the Stacks were thoroughly integrated into the life of Kerry, and known even then as fierce adversaries of the English. Stacks were prominent in the Battle of Kinsale in 1601. Thus, while a stray rogue joined the English, the family, which began as Norman Anglo-Irish, became, over the centuries, as much, and some might say more, Gael than Norman.
The Stack tradition is a proud one, if somewhat pugnacious. The motto on the family crest is "Honorabo me Honorantes" - I will honor those who honor me. Our branch of the family is known as Moore Stack, not deriving from a connection to Sir Thomas Moore, but from the marriage of Patrick Stack (b.1775, d.1808), grandson of Edmund Stack de Crotta, the last to retain that title, to one Hannah Moore of Ballinruddery.
An uncle of Patrick, Edward, b.1756, d.1833 in Calais, was to achieve fame and fortune as one of the legendary Flying Geese. As a Lt. in the French army, he was assigned to serve under John Paul Jones aboard the Bonhomme Richard which raised hell in English waters. In it's most famous battle he is mentioned in the ship's log as having had grenades thrown down onto the English battleship Serapis which the Americans then boarded and seized.
The name Captain Stack appears in a 1785 letter from Geo. Washington to Commodore Jones in Paris regarding Edward's seeking membership in the Revolutionary society Cincinnati. This was problematical since in 1794 Edward, a Royalist in France, entered the Irish Brigade in the British Army where he led the famous Dillons and rose to the rank of General. That commission was awarded in 1830, but during much of the Napoleonic wars he was imprisoned in France. He was awarded membership in Cincinnati by Louis XV1, and the United States recognized his contribution in naming a U.S. Navy destroyer for him in 1938.
Well a while back I found that a James Cotter Lixnaw was a witness to my great great great gramd fathers Jeremiah Cotter death record.
Jeremiah Cotter was born around 1804 and married Ellen Drury around 1830. A sister of Ellen Drury, Catherine married Jeremiah Driscoll around the same time.
Anyways i followed up on the Cotter's in Lixnaw and it appears they originated. Around Ballintogher area.
Interesting thing is that in Griffith's valuation there was a James Drury in Ballyhennessy which is close to Ballintogher.
And then in the Tithe of 1824 there is Maurice Drury in Dysert Townland.
Now if would make sense to me that this Maurice Drury in the Tithe was the father of Ellen and Catherine Drury.
One reason is that one of the oldest sons of Jeremiah Cotter and Ellen Drury was Maurice. And one of the oldest sons of Jeremiah Driscoll and Catherine Drury was also Maurice.

Obituary printed in Sidney, Ohio newspaper on 2/9/1921
Johanna Mulvihill Moloney
On Tuesday evening about ten o'clock, February 8th, 1921 the soul
of Mrs. John Moloney quietly passed into the realm prepared us all
by our Creator. Worry over a son (John C.) in the great war,
impaired her health from which she had not fully recovered,
however she was anticipating a journey to Cleveland to visit her
children on the day she died. Not feeling quite well she postponed
her departure, spent a part of the day in bed and after preparing
herself for the night she called her daughter who responded
immediately to find her mother died from heart failure. Mrs.
Moloney, known to her friends as Johanna, was born in County
Kerry, Ireland, January 12, 1858, came to America when a young
woman and lived in Shelby County ever since then. She was
acknowledged to be an almost true type of Irish beauty when she
came to Sidney. Her perfect complexion, blue black wavy hair,
liquid blue eyes and charm of manner and warmth of heart secured
for her everyone's admiration. In 1882 she was married to John
Moloney and went to live in the home where she died proving
herself a faithful wife, devoted mother and good neighbor. She
gave to the Lord the supreme service of womanhood in the raising
of ten good children, an almost incalculable value. Three of these
children, Florence, Raymond and Walter are still in the home.
Frank is married and lives in the neighborhood and has three
children. John Jr., Anna, Alice and Alma are together in Cleveland.
And William, the oldest son, is in New Jersey where he has had a
very responsible government position during the war. One child
died in youth. Besides her children, she leaves to mourn her
departure one sister, Mrs. John McNickols, Chicago and three
stepsisters, Mrs. Stack and Mrs. Gallagher of Chicago and Mrs.
James Haley of Indianapolis. She was a member of the sunshine
club of Green Township; of the married ladies Sodality of her
church and the Killarney club of Sidney. Her funeral services will
be held at the Holy Angels Church, Friday morning at 8:30
o'clock. Interment in Graceland, Sidney, Ohio.

Thomas,John and Mary.........Ellen Goodwin married a Thomas Toomey not sure if Ireland USA or England. They had relatives and ties with Tralee they lived in the old staff barracks in Tralee with
children Mary my mother Thomas, Robert and Jimmy they were born in usa but moved back to Tralee sometime in the late 30s early 40s but left and went to England then usa Ellen lived in NY and died
there. My mother returned to England and married my father. Know very little about the Toomey side except he had a brother corneilius that worked in the hotels in Kerry. I know other members of the
Hennessey family moved to holyoak usa around the run of the century.
O'Connell/Hennessy - Knockanure, and Parish
Edward O'CONNELL b.c 1770 is buried in the Knockanure graveyard under a flgstone that reads: "Erected by the Very Rev. James Hennessy O'Connell PP Melbourne Australia to the memory of his grandfather
Edward O'CONNELL and his father James O'CONNELL, died June 3 1868, who was also father of Chevalier Michael O'CONNELL, Knight of Pope Pius IX, died July 1864 and Sister Mary Brendan O'CONNELL died
Nov 4 1904, Presentation Convent Listowel RIP." This is my brick wall. There is no other mention of this Edward O'CONNELL anywhere in the Irish records. I've been unable to discover the year of his
death, who his wife was, his townland, nada. Any other O'CONNELLS with a link to Listowel or Knockanure?
