Just wanted to add an additional point for others in case they are following my Martha O’Reilly – although upon her death she was originally interned in Argentia, her remains were moved to the Freshwater cemetery along with many others when Argentia became a US navel base in the early 1940s. Her son (my grandfather John (Jack) Healey witnessed the re-internment and for the rest of his life was affected by this experience). This experience was shared by all Argentia families at the time of resettlement.
Thank you very much for this information – really appreciated. My Martha O’Reilly was the daughter of John O’Reilly and Johanna Power (I have found quite a bit of information about Johanna but John remained somewhat of a mystery until now given the number of O’Reilly families in the Placentia Bay area at the time. Thank you again for your information.
Hi everyone,
I am looking for information on Martha O’Reilly. She was my great-grandmother She was born approximately 1886 in Argentia (possibly Fox Harbour). She married Richard Healey in 1907 and they resided in Argentia (Marquise). My grandfather (John (known as Jack) was one of their many children who married Ethel-Doris Byrne from Great Paradise.
The only sibling for Martha O’Reilly that I know of is Tommy (Thomas), a bachelor. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I will use the above information as a starting place. Thanks!
