Conroy / ?Malerdy Strokestown
« on: Friday 16 January 09 22:34 UTC (UK) »
I am researching my in-laws. My husbands great-grandfather x 5 is Michael Joseph Conroy who married a Catherine Malerdy 1/12/1856 in Strokestown, Roscommon. They had ?5 children - Martin (b.1856 Ashbrook, Strokestown,  m. Rebecca Ainsworth in Leigh, Lancaster, England in 1898) / Peter (c/ John / Catherine / Bridget (b. 1872).

Looking for any more information on Michael J & Catherine incl parents, DOB, DOD, place of death etc.#

Thankyou

Hello and welcome to rootschat,

Is this Martin in 1901 - married to Rebecca with children Martin and Maurice?
If so he is 28 yrs old born 1873- which is different to your post.

1901 RG13; Piece: 3589; Folio: 103; Page: 1

best wishes

Thanks heywood

Yes.  Martin & Rebecca are my great-great grandparents in-law.  They also went on to have James, John, Louisa, Martha, Leandra.  I have viewed the 1901 census.  I cannot confirm the accuracy of Martins DOB.

Any info greatly appreciated

It would make a difference to your getting records.
Civil birth registration began in 1864 in Ireland (non-Catholics were before that) and therefore if most of these children were born after that date you would be able to obtain their birth certificates.
Looking at Rebecca's age, it is more than likely that Martin would be 28 in 1901.
I am now looking through this site: http://www.leitrimroscommon.com/index.shtml
for clues.

You are very sure though re Michael and Catherine's marriage date? That is too early to get a certificate  Sad again civil registration began 1864. You will need to see if there are Parish records.

Civil registration of all births in Ireland began in 1864 as did registration of deaths and Catholic marriages (registration of non-Catholic marriagesbegan 1845).

Thanks.  I received Martins DOB via a forum - hence I cannot confirm its accuracy.  I have a copy of the marriage registration of Martin & Rebecca so I know it was def 1898.  I have not got the actual certificate however.  Rebecca was born in 1877 in Bolton, Lancashire and have details of her parents but I am stuck with the Conroys.

Regards

I was going to check whether it was a submitted or extracted record but I can't even find it on LDS site (searching for Michael Conroy married in Ireland).

By the way, there are  Maleadys in 1901 Roscommon census - no Malerdy.

this site:

http://roscommon.brsgenealogy.com/

has a marriage record for a Catherine Malerdy 1856.

Access to the index is free (you have to register) but then payment is required.

Added: there is a Michael Conry for 1856 (not Conroy).

Are you sure that Martin's parents are Michael Conroy and Catherine Malerdy?

Yes.  I have Martins death certificate - although it has Catherines surname as Malady!/!  It doesnt record their date of marriage - I'll check out that website.

Thanks

but it will have his age so that would help.

It may well be that they were married in 1856 and had children then over a period of 20 yrs or so. You give Bridget's birth year as 1872. Some Latter Day Saints libraries have the Irish BMD indexes to search.

You state that Martin was born 1856- which would make him 45 years in 1901 and then they continued to have 5 more children after that which would take him into his 60s. DO you have any details of his death to compare ages?

It does seem that his birth would be more in keeping with that indicated in 1901.

Ugh! have just realised my mistake - Martin Conroy was born in 1869 not 1856 in Ashbrook!

Sorry!
