My most elusive line - My grandfather Clarence James CONNELLY, also known as Jim, also know as Charles C. , CONNELLY also spelled CONLEY. I would like to know his father's name. My father, Charles Franklin CONNELLY, did not know his grandfather or his name.
Clarence James was born 15 Jan 1872 in Marshalltown, Marshall Co., Iowa - maybe - also have sources which say Nov 1873, about 1875, about 1874. His mother was Elizabeth HANNAH. She later married Lew(is) DEAN. Elizabeth and Lewis lived in Wadena Co. MN. I believe I have the death certificate for Elizabeth HANNAH DEAN from Beltrami Co. MN.
I have found an 1880 census record for a Lizzie CONLEY and Charles C. CONLEY, age 6 in Fayette Co. Iowa. This looks like a likely choice for my Elizabeth and Charles/Clarence. They are boarders with the Daniel & Lizzie Hoyt family. The father of Charles C. is reported as being born in Ireland. In 1900 Charles C. is in Todd Co. MN. His father is reported as being born in NY.
Clarence James married? Ethel May JOHNSON TRUNK(E), about 1904-1906. I have quite a bit of info. on her. I have not found a marriage record for them. Some relatives - related through Ethel May's 1st husband, John TRUNK, say there was never a divorce from John TRUNK, or a 2nd marriage.
Clarence James farmed, ran steamboat, hauled coal, lumbered, fished, plant guard - in Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and Washington state. I have various documents from some of these places, besides my dad's story. As I said at times my grandfather is called Charles C., at times James or Jim or Clarence James.
Clarence James died 2 December 1960 in Snohomish, Snohomish Co, Washington. I have his death certificate. My dad gave the info. for it.
I have searched records in Marshall Co, IA, Fayette Co. IA to look for the name of Clarence James' father.
Thanks for any help! Audrey E. Connelly Andrus, andrusae@cougar.netutah.net
