Genealogy: Buckley Family Reunion

On 5 October from 10 to noon I will be hosting a reunion for the extended family of Denis and Ellen Walsh Buckley from Knocknakilla/Millstreet. Denis’s son Richard born about 1850 would be my 2nd gr grandfather who married Hannah O’Hayre from Newmarket I believe. Hannah’s parents were Donal and Mary O’Connor O’Hayre with a son Jeffry and possibly Thomas. Richards siblings were James,Daniel,Patrick,Hanora,Michael,Denis,Edmond and John. Michael married Ellen Kelliher about1875. My next door neighbor in Boston is Mary Kelliher whose grandfather would have been Thomas Kelliher born 1864 in Millstreet, Mary’s cousin would be John O’Leary from Millstreet currently – trying to see if there is a family connection.ANY RELATIONS TO ANY OF THE ABOVE ARE WELCOME PLEASE BRING ANY FAMILY PHOTOS AND STORIES.
