Query Text:

My great-great grandfather was farmer James O'Leary, born around 1843 in Co. Limerick. On 20 Jul 1875 in Ballingarry, Co. Limerick, he married Mary Storan, born around 1844 in Co. Limerick, possibly Croom. They had six children, all born and reared in Kilmurry (Archer) Feenagh, Co. Limerick: John Patrick (1876-1967), James (1877-1894), Denis (1879-1899), Catherine (1882-1962) [O'Sullivan], Mary Anne (1884-1962) [Broderick], and Patrick (1887-1951). John Patrick (JP) was my great-grandfather. He moved to Tarmon, Knock, Kilrush, Co. Clare before 1900 and managed Stokes' Creamery in Kilrush until around 1913. He married Frances (Fanny) McDonnell of Tarmon in 1906 in Kilrush, and they had at least 11 children: Michael, James, Patrick, Mary (Mollie), Josephine (Josie) [Grant], William (Willie), Denis, Helen (Sr. Bosco), Frances [Galvin], Bridget (Bridie) [Dwyer], and Nora [Houlihan]. Around 1913 the family moved to Co. Limerick, somewhere around Castleconnell or Annacotty, where JP managed another creamery around Bunkey Bridge or Castleconnell. The children may have attended school in Ahane, Newport, or Bunkey Bridge. In the late 1920s the family moved to Rossmore, Cashel, Co. Tipperary, where JP managed The Old Creamery until his death in 1967. Michael, James, Mollie, Josie, and Bill emigrated to New York City (Queens and Brooklyn) in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Sr. Bosco was a Presentation Order nun in Cashel. Denis and PJ lived and died in England. Frances, Bridie, and Nora remained in Ireland.
