Reilly Co. Leitrim -> Quebec
I am looking for any information on Michael Reilly who was born near Carrigallen, Co. Leitrim Ireland around 1883. Like most of his siblings, Michael emigrated from Ireland to Canada. Family stories says that he first emigrated to his aunt Kate Brown nee Connolly who lived in Grand Mere ,Quebec.
My grandfather Arthur Reilly(1889-1967) (brother to Michael) listed his former address as 11 Emmett street in Montreal (the home of Michael) on his papers when he entered the US around 1914.
I also have heard that Michael lost an arm or had one disabled in a mill accident.
Michael was the son of James Reilly and Mary Connolly
Here are all of his siblings
Catherine Smith (nee Reilly)(c1879-c1962)
James Reilly (c1885-?)
Patrick Reilly (c1887-1970)
Arthur Reilly(1889-1967)
John Reilly (c1891-?)
Peter Reilly (c1895-1960)
If any of this rings a bell, let me know.
