Limited Biography of Joanna I Eagan(1837-UNKN)-C5

I have even less on James Connolly's wife.  But here it is.

Joanna Eagan(1837-UNKN)-C5
Birth: October 24th, 1837 in St. John's Newfoundland, Canada
Father: Patrick Eagan(1810-1891)-C10
Mother: Mary McDonald(UNKN-UNKN)-C11
Married: Married Frank James C. Connoly(1837-1891)-C4 before 1859
Children:
Frederick Patrick Connolly(1859-1921)
James Connolly(1864-UNKN)
Henrietta Connolly(1866-UNKN)
Frank Connolly(1870-UNKN)
Mary Connolly(1873-UNKN)
John Thomas Connolly(1875-UNKN)


Death: UNKN
Joaana I Eagan was born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada to Patrick Eagan and Mary McDonald.  She married James C Connoly before 1859 and had six children while living in Charlottestown, Prince Edwards Island, Canada.  Their first son, Frederick Patrick Connolly was born on June 4th, 1864.  He was followed by James Connolly in 1866, Henrietta Connolly on June 22nd, 1866, Mary Connolly in 1873, Frank Connolly in 1870, Mary Connolly in 1873,  and John Thomas Connolly in 1875.  Given that all the baptisms occurred in in either St Andrews Church or St. Dunstan's Basillica, it is likely the family were Irish Catholics. I have no information on her death or burial location.

Limited Biography of James C. Connolly(1837-1891)-C4

Alright, I have a habit of following rabbit holes when I'm pulling things together.  If I don't feel I have enough information on a person, I tend to keep searching and it keeps me from moving on.  The Canadian Connolly, Eagan, Weatherby and Carver branches of my Putnam side are examples of this.  The information I have is spotty, and I am not completely sure all of it is right.  I need to just post on them so I can move on.  I suspect I will need to get more familiar with Prince Edward Island genealogy before I can really close these mysteries.  If anyone has better information on these lines, I'd love the help.  So I'll start with James Connolly, my Great Great Grandfather.
