After thirteen years of research I have finally made a break though on the Begley family thanks to two woman from England. More will be added as the information comes in.
Thank you Margaret Begley Crane and Siobhan Begley Winstone for sharing your family information and photo's!.
Alexander Begley is believed to have been born about 1829 in Londonderry, Ireland. He joined the R. I. C. (Royal Irish Constabulary) about 1849 and was married in the service. He married Margaret Walsh (e) and they had 12 children. Three children are known to have immigrated to the United States, Alexander, Patrick and Catherine.
Below is the family outline.
