I will gather more information on my two uncles, Mike and Frank, and come back to you with any further clarification. I know that Frank died rather young.

I only know that Michael and Thomas came from Ireland. I have been trying to find information as to what area.

Exactly the place they were from. On a past visit we stopped by the little village and noticed a st. laserian church, which is the name my great aunt used as a nun.

John,

Your G. Grandparents are buried in the St. Lazerian church grounds. The Coady's have a few headstones there which still faintly show the name. However, the headstone does not show my grandparents, but they are definitely buried there. In the next year or two, I am going to get their names engraved on that headstone.

Also, of the original Coady farmhouse, nothing remains. A water spring well still goes by the name of Coady's Well. It is exactly opposite where the Coady house was, on the other side of the road. Also in the same area, was Coady's Lane. A Bill Daly bought my dad's farm, and his son Bill now lives there.

My grand uncle and g/aunts (Coady's), who never married, lived on a farm down a long lane at Raheen, Clonmore, Old Leighlin, but that farm was left to Mary Carey, the wife of Denis Carey who owned the pub in Old Leighlin. This pub has been in the Carey name since the 1500's. Mrs. Carey's maiden name was Wynne and was a first cousin of my father. Matt Carey is the son of Mary and Denis and still lives there. You have numerous cousins in the Old Leighlin area.

For F. Coady.

You would get further information which may assist you from the Griffiths Valuation of Ireland.

These have names and townlands, but unfortunately, give no age profile of the occupants. Do not give up, keep searching and good luck.

Tom Coady, Carlow, Kilkenny & Dublin, Ireland.

Hello, I am a great great grandson of Thomas Coady, born in Syracuse. There is a brief history in the Wellington Co. museum in Elora,Ontario written many years ago. According to the story, the brothers Michael and Thomas both were in Pilkington twonship. Their father died in Ireland and there was an inheirtance that was split between the two brothers. There was also some disagreement and Thomas disappeared, presumably he went back to the US. Shortley afterwards, Michael purchased a hundred acers of farm land.

I would be interested in the source of Michael's parents, only becasue he died in 1873 and Ontario did not start recording the deceased parents names until 1905.

regards,
Paul McCorkindale
