Classification: Query
Surnames: O'Reilly/Grant and O'Reilly/ Houlihan or Sullivan?
I have been researching my family tree and have hit a dead end. I hope someone can help me with this. I am trying to get information on William O'rielly of placentia Newfoundland. In the 1945 census he is 53 yrs old and is shown married to eiter a florence or a theresa (1935 census). My mother pauline (who is listed as eileen in the 1945 census passed away in 1977 while i was still very young so im trying to fill in the family tree with what little info I have. William had a brother Michael, their father was Patrick O'Reilly who married a Mary Grant when he was 70 and she was 67 about 1930 in Argentia. The Census in Blockhouse, Placentia shows her as William and Michaels mother. The Marriage shows they both where widowed at the time of their marriage in 1930. Some where I got the impression William married a Teresa Sullivan, but find no record of that name that would fit her age at the time of the census (33 in 1935 and 37 in 1945). I did find a Florence Houlihan who was about that same age at that time. Can any one PLEASE help me fill in this puzzle???
