Honor McNulty
« on: Wednesday 26 November 14 14:46 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information on Honor McNulty who married James Holmes  in 1888 Ballina, Honor was born abt 1856 ? in Killmurry, she died on 24 May 1941 Rathmore she is buried at Killmurry.
I have found one son born to this couple a John abt 1890 he died 1976, would like to find out if there were any further children born to this couple and abt Honor's family ???

As background for others posting:

The 1901 census shows the family with one son:

The 1911 census says one child born, one child living:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Crossmolina_North/Attishane__Joynt_/701760/

Given Honor's age (consistent between 1901 / 1911 census returns), a child after 1911 is most unlikely - do you have reason to suspect another child before 1911 (contrary to the 1911 census return)?

... and abt Honor's family ???


Have you got the father's details (forename / occupation) from the church marriage record? 

The 'RootsIreland' website has a transcribed record, should you wish to pay for it.

For Honor, her parents her sibs.... :-\
There has been strong family oral history that the marriage of  John Holmes and Honor McNalty was disapproved of, we know that John (the eldest son) was disinherited from the family property of Rathmore. He was working for the local Lord on the estate of Glenmore House as a Carpenter, the Lord hearing of his disinheritance gave him a small plot of land to farm and build a house which is still there today....
