Looking for any information on what happened to the Reilly/O'Reilly (they went by both names) family that lived at 38 Holborn Hill, Belturbet, in the 1901 and 1911 censuses? I know that daughter Ellen came to Canada to live with my grandmother (her sister) and that John James went to the US and died childless in Washington State in 1959. My grandmother, Mary Cate Reilly wasn't living with the family in the 1901 census. I don't know where she was before she arrived in Canada in 1906. She died in Montreal in 1968. Ellen (also known as Nellie) died in 1976.
What I would especially like to know is if there are/were any other descendants of John and Mary and also what might have happened to Michael, Peter, Anne and Stephen James. Did any of them die in Beltlurbet and where they would be buried? There were Roman Catholic.
