Thomas Patrick Connors

  General Notes:

per Project 21 hosted by Infonet and transcribed by Alan Whittle in April 1998 the 1921 Census of "Clattis Harbor" shows the following for Thomas (Patrick) O'Connors:Thomas is head of household born April 1873 at Grandy's Point (southeast of Clattice Harbor); age 48 in 1921. His wife is Catherine (A.F.O'Connor, her nephew, claims her name was Catherine Emberly but another genealogy I found on Internet claims her name was Catherine Parsons. A.F. O'Connor claims that Thomas was married before to a woman whom he does not know the name of but that they had a son named Patrick and the wife must have died. (Jim Rogers states this is true and her name was Mrs. Ann Marie Hayes and they did indeed have a son named Patrick.) A.F.O'Connor claims Thomas and Catherine had 3 sons..Thomas, Terrance and a third whose name he could not remember and a daughter named Veronica. The census shows Veronica, Aloysius, Thomas L. and Ann M. I have chosen to use the Census information because I feel it to be more accurate than my father's memory.
Per Ann Marie Connors Rogers:
Thomas lived with his parents after his second marriage in 1911. (to Catherine Parsons) From 1925, Thomas lived in St. Kyran's, and shortly after 1945 the family home was passed on to his son Thomas and he moved with his wife and youngest daughter to St. Leonard's where he died in 1948.
