Jeremiah Coleman of Waterford, Ireland
I am seeking the birth information of Jeremiah Coleman, my GG Grandfather, born c1825. He married Johanna O'Neill in Conna, County Cork, Ireland on June 27, 1850. He died on April 9, 1886. I just recently found his lovely tombstone in the Pine Ridge Cemetery in Loda, Iroquois County, Illinois.
I do not know when he came into the country. It would have to be after their last child, William was baptised on July 21, 1870, 3 days after birth in Conna.
Everyone currently alive always thought he was from Cork also. But his stone says he was a native of County Waterford.
Johanna O'Neill, also called Hanna, was Fr. Peter O'Neill, her Grand Uncle. She was born on January 2, 1838.
Jeremiah and Johanna had other children too - Michael b. 04/05/1851(buried in Pine Ridge) , Peter b. 04/26/1852, Margaret b. 10/09/1854 (Buried in Pine Ridge), Mary b. 04/21/1856 (may have died early), Johanna b. 01/12/1858, Catherine b. 09/20/1859, Daniel b. 05/24/1861, Mary Anne b. 08/02/1862 (buried in Pine Ridge), John b. 02/22/1864 and Ellen b. 03/28/1868.
It is curious that I do not find a Jeremiah junior.
If any of these names ring a bell - I would love to hear from you.
