Hello Patricia. I am not aware of Dr. Mannion’s database being on line but I will keep an eye out. As for Walshes, I only have a few records which I expect you already are aware of but just in case here they are. There is a record of a jury trial on Sept 12, 1807 of a ‘Walsh vs. Green’. Garret Reily was a juror. Ann Walsh and Stephen Rily had a Patrick Rily in 1859. Johannah Walsh and Thomas Rily had a Patrick Joseph Rily in 1859.
Hello again. In 1999 I had correspondence with Dr. John Mannion of MUN. He had studied habitation patterns in the Placentia area and had this to say about Garret Reilly “From John Mannion (!999) “Garret is the oldest Riely I have for Placentia. Born before 1750, with a house and garden in Little Placentia in 1772. By 1786 he is recorded with a large family. He took the oath of allegiance from Prince William Henry that year. He was also a substantial planter, dealing with Saunders and Sweetman (1789). ”
Also he provided the following “….the names of other adult males in the Greater placentia area who were born probably before 1800. They include Edward 8 in the family; James, 1810, 1820; Pat 1786, 1803, 1807, 1822-26, 1838; Thomas 1801, 1807, 1820, 1838; William 1788, 1815, 1820-24, 7 in family 1833.”Hello Brenda:
Just catching up on your posts and they are most illuminating. If I understand it right, John(b.1780) had a brother William. John and William married 2 sisters Mary and Bridget Whelan. William and Bridget had my William (b ~ 1820, d 1897 Sandy Point). Please let me know if I am interpreting it correctly. I have a bit more information that could be used to help as well. Last year my cousing Stephen O’Reilly had his DNA analysed using FamilyTree DNA. While the results were not as definitive as we would have liked they seemed to point to a possible Cork, Ireland connection.In reply to Brenda Young re. children of William and Margaret buried in Mount Carmel in Placentia. From my notes: Headstone in Mt. Carmel, Placentia reads “Sacred to the Memory of John and Thomas sons of William and Margaret. John died May 4 1859 age 10 yrs This headstone is next to Garret and Margaret (Leonard) Reilly’s headstone. From Garret’s headstone it is determined he was born in 1816. Because of proximity of the headstone, he may be closely related.
