Coakley
« on: July 26, 2006, 03:17:38 AM »
I'm looking for information on John & Bridget (Foley) Coakley. They had several children, one of which is Michael J. married to Hannah (Joanne) M. O'Connor in Worcester, MA. I believe Michael was from Firies, Co. Kerry, Ireland. Any information would be great.

I think I found the passenger listing for Michael Coakely   on the Cephalonia from Queenstown to Boston  arriving 21 June 1896
It says he is from Kellamy (sic) but I would bet that is Killarney.  Cursive writing can be misread easily.   his destination is Worcester to his sister Lizzie Coakely 5o Elm St..  Since Killarney is a hop and skip from Fieries and the dioceses,  I think that this is a pretty good match.
