Eileen,
I feel like I've worked on this family previously?I see an ancestry tree that looks familiar ... hmmm
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N79J-F6G
There are 2 John Enrights w/saloons very near each other in Brideport.John H and John K -- 1869 directory
John H Enright810 Archer saloon/boardinghouse, lives in rear
John K Enright 725 S. Canal saloon, "" "
There are a boatload of articles on John H Enright, saloonkeeper in Bridgetport in the Trib Archives, available on-line w/a Chicago (or surb) library card.In 1866 living near Holling Mill on Archer Rd., running a boarding house, in a news story where a crowd beat a drunk woman to death, John testified he sent her away ... so he's established by 1866.Also clearly him, but using the middle initial "H" on a few stories. In 1867, 810 Archer street also his saloon.
Mary dies in May 30 1920 (obit), sister of the late John and Denis ... this is where you get their father's name - "John?"https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12344-31112-96?cc=1463134&wc=4911578
What do you have on Denis the brother (a more distinct name)?Buried with John @ Calvary or Mt Olivet?The ancestry tree goes with "Webster st" Denis who died in 1908....
1908 Webster Street Denis -- only lived in Chicago for 25 yrs? Since 1883 ... ?

*************************************************
Seeking information re JOHN O'KELLY ENRIGHT, born in Ireland (unknow where) about 1846; (Father also named John Enright). Came to USA in 1863, ended up in Chicago, IL., eventually followed by a brother, Denis, and a sister, Mary. Married Annie Reidy Enright (also from Ireland)in 1870,(witnesses Pat McCarthy, Ellen Reidy) resided in Bridgeport nighborhood, South-side of Chicago, was a Saloonkeeper. Children: Nellie, Thomas, John, Annie, Susan, Twins Mary & Denis,and James. Died 1906.
The first census he appears in is the 1870-, and he is married by then to my GGGrandmother. He did purchase a grave lot in Calvary Cemetry for a "Thomas" Enright, aged 38 at his death in 1865. I have no idea whether that was a brother, or a cousin--and the cemetery has only the name, age and date of burial.
