I am trying to discovar how and when my Great Grand father,

Peter Charles Connolly, came to England. To no avail.

He was born in 1838 in Eire and married to an Anne Sweeney in 1861 in Sheffield.

What he did before then I can not discover,

There must be some Connolly families still in Eire who may know some thing????

His father was Michael Connolly from Cork who was a Farm labourer, He was dead when Peter got married.

Did he get to England? Did any of Peter's siblings travel also?

HELP PLEDASE?????

Thank you for the information re Peter Connolly.

It is his time in Ireland I can not find. He was born in Cork or Wexford in 18938. Father Michael Connolly I have found nothing of his birth. There was a Mary Connolly in

Toxteh, Livrrpool in the 1851 Census. She was a widow with a son Peter and a son Francis.

When Peter came to England and who his mother was I can not discover.
