Carol,
Thanks so much for getting in touch.I still check this site every so often so I am happy you decided to post.Feel free to email me directly though at [email protected]
Your Carroll relatives certainly are within the same time frame as mine.I know very little about John Carroll's family in Thurles.I just know that is where he was born in 1850 and rumor was that he had a number of siblings.I do know that John moved to England at some point for work.He ended up living/working with the Allen family and later married one of the Allen daughters - Margaret in 1881 I believe.In 1882 he came to the U.S. and Margaret and his son followed 2 years later.
On John's death record from Philadelphia in 1928, it lists his father's name as John as well.Perhaps this was the John you noted in the Griffin Directory in 1850-51?
Incidentally, where are you from yourself?
