Dr Geoffrey O'Connell's wife Elizabeth(Ross) O'CONNELL and their three children, Michael b. 1804, John b. 1811 and Elizabeth b. 1813 came to South Africa abt. 1820 after Dr Geoffrey's death in Ireland. The children were all born at Hillgrove,Co. Kerry, Ireland. Here in South Africa they lived at George and Oudtshoorn resepectively. Michael became a prominent businessman in George and John a farmer/landlord in Oudtshoorn. John had a partner, Susanna TOLVEY/TOWEY they had two sons and a daughter William, John and Magritha. John Snr. later married Joanna Eager and had several other children but the children of John Snr. and Sussana were brought up by John and his new bride, Joanna Eager. John's son by Susanna, William O'CONNELL is my ancestor.He married Abigail DE JAGER of Buffelsdrift,Oudtshoorn,they had a son Geoffrey O'Connell, my mother Margaret Mary O'Connell's father.Dr. Geoffrey's wife Elizabeth (Ross) O'Connell remarried a Charles Eager had a daughter Eliza Eager (KRITZINGER). Elizabeth and her two daughters, Elizabeth O'Connell and Eliza Eager (KRITZINGER) are buried next to each other in the Roman Catholic Cemetery at George.JOHN my ancestor is buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Oudtshoorn and Michael's headstone is kept in the Museum at George. So far, we are unable to find any information on CHARLES EAGER. If there are any EAGER Family out there that can add any information, I will be grateful. We as the descendants of Dr. Geofrrey O'Connell are eagerly awaiting any information on Dr.GEOFFREY O'CONNELL OF IRELAND and his wife ELIZABETH ANN ROSS of Chatham, Kent, U.K.
