Hello,
It is possible that Richard Cleary and my Denis Cleary were brothers especially since their birthdates(abt. 1858) are so close and they both named sons Thomas. My Thomas Augustine Cleary (son of Denis Cleary and Anne Mullane) was born in 1887 in County Cork, IRE. He married Honora Bresnahan whose mother was Julia O'Connor. Honora and Thomas A. named one of their twin sons Thomas Frances Cleary.
Julia O'Connors father was, I think, John O'Connor and her mother , Elizabeth O'Brien. They were from Co., Kerry, IRE.
I know she had a sister named Mary and a brother named Daniel O'Connor.
Thomas Augustine Cleary(son of Denis) had the following siblings:
Christopher, Edward, James, Cornelius(Conny), and Esther (Julia).
Would you be so kind as to email me your information and I will compare it with other notes I have and maybe we can get this line of Clearys and O'Connors confirmed. thank you for your response, I had about given up hope on feedback from my original message.
