I am looking for anyone who knows more about the Quinns from Newtownsandes, County Kerry, Ireland, and Philadelphia.
I have located the family in the 1901 and 1910 Ireland censuses. Some, but not all of the siblings below immigrated to the US, in the period 1895-1915.
The homestead was located in the townland of Leitrim Middle, in County Kerry, in the civil parish I have seen identified as Newtownsandes, Muhrer, or Moyvane (modern name). John Quinn was head of the household in 1901 and 1911. His son Matthew apparently married Bridget Mulvihill from Leitrim West, and later took over the homestead of her parents. John's homestead in Leitrim Middle appears to have passed on to his son Michael.
There were not many Quinn families in the Leitrim townlands and surrounding area of Co. Kerry in 1911, so I would like to hear from any Quinns in that area now who have roots in those townlands.
The ones who immigrated to the US generally listed Newtownsandes as their home or place of birth, which I take to refer to the district, not Newtownsandes Town specifically. They came to Philadelphia, although John Quinn later moved to Connecticut. I have little detail of these Quinns in the US, since John Quinn, my grandfather, died young, in 1916.
The James Quinn family shown below is a probability, not a certainty. There was definitely a sibling named James Quinn, but the one shown below is connected by virtue of living immediately next door to Nellie Quinn Ward in the 1910 census. The Ward family below is known to be part of this family by virtue of hand-me-down family history.
Daniel Quinn and his wife may have died before 1930, since their only child was living with two aunts in the 1930 census.
Hope someone recognizes some connections here,
