Kilcommons

[Pauline Rowan]

My great-grandfather was named Peter Kilcommons. He came from somewhere in Roscommon and emigrated to New York in the 1880's. His parents were Thomas Kilcommons and Catherine Kelly. Peter Kilcommons married Delia Gavin in the United States and they had three children. Since Kilcommons is an unusual name, I was hoping that someone out there might recognize it!

See Griffith's on these pages for Thomas Kilcommon in Brackloon, Fuerty in 1856.

She is from (she lives in the town) Ballymoe, County Galway, which is right on the border with County Roscommon and sometimes mistaken for being in county Roscommon. The Kilcommons family still lives there but I am not in touch with that part of the country much. I bet if you addressed a letter to D. Kilcommons, Ballymoe, County Galway, Ireland that it would be rec'd.
