Bryan Connolly and wife Winnifred had a son - my grandfather Joseph A. Connolly in Portland on 22 May 1880 [US census error says 'M"].
NB Father-Owen F Connolly had stated that his grandfather Bryan Connolly had worked for the city of Portland ..he is listed above as a driver for the city; and his great-grandfather was a businessman. Correct spelling is Bryan Connolly. Also, Charles Henry Scott was not a junior.
