My great grandparents Patrick Connolly(Connelly) and Bridget (Walsh/Welsh/Welch)) Connolly were both born in Ireland.
Have documented they were living in St. Paul, Minnesota. Have the following:
1885 Minnesota Census
Ramsey County, City of St. Paul, Ward 1, Schedule 65, page 11, household 68
Enumerated May 26, 1885
Patrick Connelly - age 32, male, race=white, born Ireland, FFB, MFB
Bridget Connelly - age 28, female, race=white, born Ireland, FFB, MFB
Bartley Connelly - age 2, male, race-white, born Minn[esota], FFB, MFB
Thomas Connelly - age 4, male, race=white, born Minn[esota], FFB, MFB
Mark Welsh - age 25, male, race=white, born Ireland, FFB, MFB
Micheal Coyne - age 19, male, race=white, born Ireland, FFB, MFB
FFB = father of foreign birth, MFB = mother of foreign birth
1884-5 St. Paul City Directory
Patrick Connolly - lab City Water Wks, res 127 Cayuga
John Coyne - lab, bds 127 Cayuga
Mark Welch - lab, bds 127 Cayuga
1885-6 St. Paul City Directory
Patrick Connolly - lab Water Wks, res 127 Cayuga
Michael Coyne - lab Water Wks, bds 127 Cayuga
Mark Welch - lab, bds 127 Cayuga
Edward King - lab, bds 127 Cayuga
As you can see the names are spelled differently but are the same family. It is believed Mark was Bridget's
brother. I'm assuming Michael Coyne and Edward King were boarders. The child Bartley was my grandfather.
At the time of my grandfather's marriage in 1910 (he married Agnes Josephine Lamont)his parents were
deceased (according to marriage certificate), and he was living in Portland, Maine. I do not know if Patrick and
Bridget died in Minnesota or Maine. My grandfather, Bartley, died in Portland, Maine in 1962.
I'm hoping this information will ring a bell with someone. Have undocumented information that Patrick's father
and grandfather may have also been named Bartley (Patrick's grandfather born 1817, Galway). Bartley appears
to be a family name. It is believed Patrick had a brother Bartley. My grandfather's eldest son is also named
Bartley.
Thank you very much.
