I am researching the family of Thomas Curley & Dorothy Gunning of Newtownflood in Athlone. I do not have birth dates for Thomas & Dorothy, but their son, Thomas (Jr), was born on May 7, 1839 in the Newtownflood area.<p>Thomas (Jr) married Hanora Cunniffe (b. February 7, 1838) on February 24, 1862 in Sts. Peter & Paul Parish in Athlone. Hanora was the daughter of Patrick CUNNIFFE and Sara LENNON. <p>Thomas & Hanora CURLEY settled in Newtownflood & their children were:<br> Eleanor, b. December 6, 1862 <br> Michael J., b. November 12, 1964 <br> Elizabeth, b. January 27, 1867, m. (unknown) FARRELL<br> Rose, b. October 10, 1869, m. (unknown) GALLAGHER<br> Brigid, b. January 19, 1874 <br> Kieran, b. September 5, 1875, m. Agnes NASH<br> Mary, b. October 25, 1878, m. (unknown) McHUGH<br> Sara, b. December 23, 1881, m. (unknown) McGeehan<br> Patrick, b. September 30 1888, m. Ellen GUNNING* <br> (*note: GUNNING might not be correct maiden name)<p>I located Thomas & Hanora (Hanna) on the 1901 Census as living in Crannagh More with Patrick & Sara.<p>Eleanor (unsure of marriage/children/etc...)<br>Michael Curley's kids: Michael Jr. (priest in Pennsylvania), Joseph <br>Elizabeth Farrell's kids: John & Patrick<br>Rose Gallagher (unsure of children/etc...)<br>Brigid (unsure of marriage/children/etc...)<br>Kieran Curley's kids: Thomas, Mary, (a twin of Mary - died at age 12 - unknown name); Joan, Kieran Jr.; Rita; (supposedly another 5 or 6 kids that died young or at birth - unknown names) {immigrated to Brooklyn, New York}<br>Mary McHugh's kids: Kathleen & Bernadette; <br>Sarah McGeehan (died at a young age - unsure if she had any children)<br>Patrick Curley's kids: Mary, Elizabeth, Thomas, John, Patrick Jr.<p>As far as I know the only one to stay in Ireland was Patrick. His children's marriages are: Mary m. Crilly, Elizabeth m. Kiveney, Thomas never married, John never married, Patrick m. Kathleen Mara. (All the other 5th generations either immigrated to or were born in the US.)<p>*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*<p>Please email me with any info or connections.<p>Thanks!<br>
