Just joined rootschat, not sure how to reply to one person. I live in Oughterard & have been researching my friends family, when I came across Charles Lewis, born circa 1852 in Co. Kildare, he married Helen(Ellen) Cleary
they had 4 children Michael John born ~1891,
Rose Anne born ~1893,
Charles Joseph born ~1896 &
Mary Ellen born ~1897.
Helen died 24 December 1898 aged about 30.
He married my friends great aunt, Mary Walsh (born in Oughterard  24 April 1862) in ~1904. However, in the 1911 census Charles is living in Fough East (Camp Street) Oughterard with his youngest daughter Mary Ellen & Mary Walsh Lewis is living her brothers in Canrawer West, Main St. (Oughterard, Galway). Maybe she was just staying with her brothers but ifs not far from where her brothers lived to where her husband lived!!!!!
Rose Anne married John Clarke on 18 June 1919 in Newbridge Co. Kildare.
Charles Joseph married Edna Moon on 9 Sept 1922 in St Mary's & St. Martins Dover
Mary Ellen married Jeremiah David on 26 June 1916 in Newbridge, Witnesses Michael Durnisan & Rose Lewis.
Hope this is useful to someone out there.

My great grandfather was an RIC officer, and I only had his name from his daughters wedding cert . There is a book which you can order from your local library called The Complete List of RIC Officers .. it gives  all the names and service numbers , which can then be ordered from the LDS . This also led me to my great grandmother

I've only just spotted this thread.  I am a great great great grandson of Catherine Lewis of Mullacash who is a sister of the William Lewis who erected the headstone in Two Mile House, Kildare, and an aunt of Charles Lewis the Oughterard policeman.  My Catherine married Peter Kennedy of Mullacash / Harristown Common Kildare and is buried about 10 meters from the Lewis grave.  According to my records, this elder Charles had 6 or possibly 7 siblings and his mother was Mary Mooney.  Charles' daughter Rose eventually inherited the Lewis land back in Kildare - I know her (Clarke) descendants and in fact they were my next door neighbours growing up.  Delighted to swap info if you post me.

The full postal address for Cornamona is via Claremorris which is in County Mayo. This could explain the reference to mayo for Charles. A Charles o Sullivan owned a property there beside Lowery's shop in the middle of the village
