Biography* Michael O'Brien, c1799-1884:
Michael O'Brien and Mary McCarthy were married in 1837 at Doneraile, County Cork. By December of that year, they were living in Clashganniv townland, about 8-miles northwest of Doneraile, in Churchtown civil parish also in County Cork. By 1843, the O'Brien's had moved from Clashganniv to Annagh townland in the same parish. The land in Annagh is much wetter than the land in Clashganniv and less desirable as farmland. Michael O'Brien was a dairy farmer, so why would the O'Brien's move to less desirable farmland? The likely reason is that the landlord, Lord Egmont, was offered a higher rent for the Clashganniv property by someone else. Lord Egmont constructed a large house on the Clashganniv property in the 1840s and maybe this resulted in a demand for a higher rent. In all probability, Michael and Mary could not meet the higher rent and were forced to move. The family continued to live in Annagh until both Michael and Mary had passed from this vale.

Michael, 85 years-of-age, died on a Saturday. His death record lists him as a married farmer. The informant on the record was his daughter Deborah O'Brien also a resident of Annagh.

Probably from Doneraile parish because that's where she was married. No further info.

Mary died on a Friday at age 80. She was listed as the widow of a laborer. The informant was her daughter Johannah, also a resident of Annagh (who marked the record).
     The facts we know beg several questions - what were Mary's circumstances? How did she survive in Annagh for ten-years after her husband died in 1884? Her two known sons both went to America after their father died. One of these was back in Ireland by 1901 and living in Kilbolane parish. Was the Annagh farm still in the family from 1884-to-1894? And, if yes, who was operating it? And, if not, who was supporting Mary and how?

Biography* John Begley, 1833-1916:
The Begleys were from Shandrum church parish in County Cork. Sometime after 1838 the family moved to the adjacent church parish of Milford. There was a John Begley christened in Shandrum Parish, County Cork in 1833. This date is much earlier than any other birth date evidence we have for John. Mayhaps there were two John Begley's? This is the only one in the Shandrum records but there may have been another born after the family moved to Milford Parish. John worked as a dairyman in Ireland.

In May 1888, John Begley, his wife Mary O'Brien, and their seven youngest children, including an infant male named Gabriel, boarded the steamship British Prince8 at Liverpool, England under the command of Ship's Master S. Nowell. John's declared intent was to become a permanent settler of the U.S.A. John and family were the only passengers of the 989 on board whose final destination was listed as Saint Louis, Missouri. The ship arived at the Port of Phildelphia, Pennsylvania on the 12th of June.

John, age 83, died on a Sunday. His funeral was held on Monday from Sacred Heart Church, Saint Louis.

Biography* Catherine Begley Dolan, 1868-1942:
According to their civil birth records, the first four children of John Begley and Mary O'Brien were born in Crough. The births were recorded in the Milford district of Kanturk union but the place Crough has not been identified. Catherine was christened in Shandrum Church Parish, County Cork. Her christening was recorded twice with different dates but the same name - Kate Begley, the same parents, - John Begley and Mary O'Brien, and the same sponsors, Thos Bowles and Hanora Bowles. Thomas and Hanora Bowles were probably Catherine's uncle and aunt - Hanora her father's sister, and Thomas, Hanora's husband. Catherine immigrated to the United States via the Port of New York in 1883 with siblings Michael and John. The three arrived on the 18th of June aboard the SS Helvetia. There were no other Begleys on the ship. She married late in life, in 1913 at age 44, to policeman Peter Dolan.

Peter Dolan had two children from a previous marriage, John and Helen. Step-daughter Helen Dolan, who married a Wilson, gained a measure of notoriety in later years as the "cousin" of John Cardinal Cody. In 1929, when Catherine's husband Peter died, they were living at 6418 Lloyd Avenue.

Catherine, age 73, died at 1350 Union Blvd. on a Wednesday. She was survived by one step-son, one step-daughter, four sisters and one brother. Her funeral was held on Saturday from St. James Church, Wade & Tamm Avenues. Catherine was a member of the Queen of the Rosary Sodality at Saint James.

In 1910, John and Annie were renting a duplex at 4108 20th Street. In 1920, they were renting at 4400 19th Street and John had risen to the level of a finisher at the stove company.

Biography* Mary Begley Cody, 1873-1946:
According to their civil birth records, the first four children of John Begley and Mary O'Brien were born in Crough. These births were recorded in the Milford district of Kanturk union but the place Crough has not been identified. On Mary's birth record her father's occupation was a listed as dairyman and Deborah O'Brien was the informant on the record, was a resident of Crough and was present at the birth (her mother's sister?). Mary was christened on 1 March 1873 at Shandrum, County Cork with sponsors James Bowles and Hanna Brien (her mother's sister?). In 1888, Mary left Ireland with her parents for Saint Louis, Missouri via Liverpool on the steamship British Prince and arrived at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the 12th of June. In 1906, Mary was married to Thomas Cody by M. J. McCabe. Marys' sister Julia and the groom's brother James were witnesses. Mary later joined the Married Ladies Confraternity of which she was a member for the rest of her life.

Mary, 73, who resided with her son Thomas at 4601 Penrose, died of coronary occlusin, chronoic myocarditis and chronic gall bladder disease on a Tuesday at St. Mary's hospital in Richmond Heights. She was attended by Dr. James P. Hall, 1004 Missouri Bldg. Mary's funeral was held on Saturday the 9th from Holy Rosary Church. Stroot & Carroll funeral home, 4600 Natural Bridge Avenue, was in charge of arrangements. Fourteen Monsignors and about 125 priests were in attendance. Absolution was given by Bishop George Donnelly. The funeral had been delayed until Saturday in the hopes that her son, Monsignor John P. Cody, would be able to officiate. He was in Ireland attending John Cardinal Glennon and was expected to return on Friday the 8th. Unfortunately, Cardinal Glennon himself died on Saturday. The Cardinal's death was announced a few hours before Mary's funeral began.

Biography* Honora "Nora" Begley, 1874-1946:
Nora was born in Knawhill and was christened at the Milford church (Freemount parish) by W McA. Her christening sponsors were her uncle Pat O'Brien and Johanna Harstouge. According to family lore, Nora was a student in England when her parents left Ireland for the USA. Further, according to family lore, she arrived in Philadelphia at an unknown date and was in Johnstown, Pennsylvania visiting an aunt during the flood. Whether Nora was a student in England or not, and whether she visited an aunt in Johnstown or not, she actually arrived in the United States with her parents in 1888. The Johnstown flood occurred on 31 May 1889 so that part of the story is possible. Her sister Hannah related that they stayed with some Downey cousins when they first arrived. And although there were Ireland born Downeys in Pennsylvania in the 1900 census none of them were near Johnstown.

In 1910, Nora was living with her parents at 2811 N 23rd Street in St Louis' 18th ward. In 1920, she was living with her mother on Taylor Avenue in the 22nd ward. In 1930, Nora was living, along with her mother and sister Hannah, with her siser and brother-in-law Julia and Thomas Hasty at 6458 Lloyd Avenue. Nora had been naturalized and was working as a saleslady at a ready-to-wear store.

Nora died on Saturday at age 72 from chronic pulmonary tuberculosis. At the time of Nora's death, her residence was at 5512 Ashland. She was survived by one brother and two sisters. Nora's funeral was held on Tuesday the 31st of December from Notre Dame de Loudes church.
