Mary Connors
Mary Connors was born in Faha in County Clare on May 19, 1892. See the first line of the birth registration record from the Tulla district. Her father was Patt, a farmer and her mother was Margaret Smyth.
I was a bit confused as the 1901 Census lists the townland as Faha, while the 1911 Census lists the townland as Fahy. The Irish name is An Fhaiche, faiche meaning green. The Parish is An Fhiacail or Feakle, meaning tooth
Here are the 1901 and 1911 census record for the family of Mary Connors
The family lived in house 19 in Faha (Louhgea) in 1901 and in house 2 in Faha (Loughea) in 1911. Mary lived with the family in 1901 and 1911. The family had 7 children: Mary, Norah, Patt (Patrick), Tim, John, Margaret, and Thomas. In 1901, the Grandfather Patt also lived with the family. By 1911, the mother Margaret had died.
I also found this 1901 Census Record showing a Mary Connors, age 9, and a Tim Connors, age 4, living with their grandparents in house 4 in Faha. I will assume they are Margaret 's parents. (Not sure why they would appear twice as the Census is supposed to show who lived where as of March 31, 1901.

Also, in 1911, Tim, age 14, is shown living in house 15, as nephew of Thady and Nora Smyth.
Here are birth registration records for the other children.
My mother said she used to get some letters from her mother's sister, Norah Deigdon who lived in County Clare. She also mentioned that Margaret had married Joe Keenan.
I searched Ellis Island records for Mary Connors, but have not been able to determine when she migrated to the US. I found later in the 1930 US Census Record that Mary immigrated to the US in 1914.
