Thanks go to Mary Merriman of Dublin, Ireland, for
supplying this information to a new cousin who had given up on the O'Reilly
line. I was happy to bring her up to date where James and William and
descendents were concerned. I am greatly indebted to Mary for sharing her
information and for giving permission for me to upload it to this site.
James and William O'Reilly
Brothers James and William O'Reilly arrived in the
United States from Scarriff, County Kerry, Ireland, some time before
1884. James is listed in the 1900
Census of Hawaii as a Cornice Maker. William's Death Certificate lists
him as a Cement Worker.
James married a lady named
Elizabeth "Bessie" last name unknown in California and they had two
daughters, Mary Elizabeth and Josie. Bessie died in 1898 either before or
after James left for Hawaii to work on the huge building project going on
there. The girls joined him there in 1900. Mary met her future
husband, Albert Emil Barth, who was also working there in the building trades.
William
does not appear to have married and is listed on his Death Certificate as
Single.
