I am researching my Irish ancestry on my father's side, my Polish ancestry on my mother's side, and my wife's ancestry.
************************** Cash/Callahan
My grandfather was William Cash, who was born in Paulacurry, Co. Cork, Ireland in 1900 and died in Haverhill, Essex Co., Massachusetts in 1945. He was the son of William Cash (born 1861 in Togan, Co. Monaghan, Ireland and died in 1926 in Cork, Co. Cork) and Elizabeth Sullivan (born about 1866 probably in Knegare, Brosna, Co. Kerry, Ireland and died in 1918 in Cork, Co. Cork).
My great-great-grandfather was William Cash (born 1807 in Frankford, Kings Co., Ireland, now Kilcormac, Co. Offaly, and died in 1880 in Co. Armagh) and his wife was Catherine McConnon (born about 1821 probably in Togan, Co. Monaghan, Ireland and died in 1894 in Togan, Co. Monaghan).
My grandfather's maternal grandparents were John Sullivan and Julia O'Connell, who reared their family in Knegare, Brosna, Co. Kerry, Ireland.
My grandmother was Ellen "Nellie" Bridget Callaghan/Callahan, who was born in 1897 in Knockgorm, Kilcorney, Co. Cork, Ireland and died in 1986 in Haverhill, Essex Co., Massachusetts.
