Thomas Kennedy Marriage, Bullaun?
« on: Monday 25 August 14 15:38 BST (UK) »
According to 1901 Census, Thomas Kennedy (45) and his wife Bridget (30) are living with Thomas' mother Honoria (70) in Bullaun, Kilmoylan plus their 5 children: Patrick (9), John (7) Ellen (4) Mary (3) and Thomas (1).
Seven year old John Kennedy may or may not be my grandfather who was killed in the First World War.

Can anyone help with finding out the maiden name of Bridget Kennedy and when they were married?

A possible marriage appears to have been between Thomas Kennedy & Bridget Rielly, registered in Tuam Apr – Jun 1892 Vol 4, page 212. You would need to order a copy of the certificate to confirm it is the right one. Or you can pay to view a transcript on rootsireland.

If it is this family:

... the RootsIreland website search index brings back a marriage for Thomas Kennedy and Bridget Reilly in 1892 and civil births and church baptisms for children of those names / ages with those parents' names, record content is pay to view.

Edited to add: The search index shows the children (eg. Patrick 1893, John 1894, Ellen 1896, Mary 1896, Thomas 1899) baptised in Cummer RC parish.

Thanks for the prompt replies from gaffy and Elwyn Soutter.

Hopefully, a step nearer to identifying John Kennedy's roots!
