born Dundee, Scotland 1894, died Florida 1969. Emigrated to USA in 1918, naturalised in 1930. In 1950's he was parish priest in Big Timber Montana.
Any info welcome.

A few items:

1. Thomas P. CONNELLY (note the middle initial)

2. Catholic Priest

3. Federal Census

1920 Montana - Fergus County - Lewistown (age 25)
1930 California - Placer County - Auburn (age 35)


4. The online Florida Death Index for 1969 shows only nine CONNELLY people; only three are men; only one is a Thomas:

CONNELLY, Thomas - died November 1969 in Volusia County.

5. The online Social Security Death Index shows only four CONNELLY deaths in Florida in 1969, and only one Thomas:

CONNELLY, Thomas - died November 1969 in Ormond Beach, Volusia County.

6. The Thomas CONNELLY men listed in 5. and 6. above appear
to be identical. HOWEVER, 6. shows his birth date as April 15, 1902, with his Social Security Number issued in Pennsylvania before 1951.

This does not appear to be the Thomas CONNELLY you seek.

Rev. CONNELLY returned to Scotland at least once:

As a British passenger, he arrived in Glasgow 10/03/1921 aboard the Anchor Steamship Line's "Cameronia". He was 27, a Clergyman, with an address at 29 High Street Lochee Dundee.

Good luck!

Many thanks to Joyful and Attocat for the information.
