Matthew Weir (Ware) / Mary O'Callaghan

[Casabeag]

Hi,

I am seeking any information on Matthew Weir & Mary O' Callaghan from Dublin (presumed)

They had a daughter Eliza Weir born in 1851 54 Mabbot St, who married my g.g.grandfather Owen Carroll - I have found their marriage record on Irish Genealogy (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/ece46a0068833) and her parents are listed as Matthew Ware and Mary O'Callaghan.  I cannot seem to find any record on them prior to this.

Eliza and Owen Carroll had a daughter Mary Anne Carroll in 1881 and I think she is in the 1901 census listed as Matthew Weir and Mary Weir's Niece he is aged 22yrs so it is presumed this is her Uncle and maybe another child of Matthew and Mary although there is a large gap in age? in the census he birth is listed as Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland.  I wonder did they live in Scotland for a while.

any help appreciated

Had you noticed this baptism on Irish Genealogy
Bridget Margaret McGrath 2nd Oct 1880, 54 Mabbott St
Dtr of Richard McGrath and Bridget O 'Callaghan
This seems to be the only birth recorded for them between 1874 and 1880

Family Search shows a marriage on Nov 24th 1874 in Greenock Old or West,Renfrew,Scotland.
Richard McGrath and Bridget Callaghan.
might help you track the family.

Edit later
Sponsors for the child were
Matthew Weire and Margaret McDonald.

Hi Dathai,

I had noticed that and I wonder is that Mary O'Callaghan's sister - I haven't looked too much into that yet (it starts getting confusing  )

Thanks for your input
