Annie O'Malley from Mayo

[abyrne]

Then I  am not sure if it is related .. but on the 1901 census I found Michael Malley at 1 Corrymailley    (Corry was shown as address on the Annie birth record transcription that I found today),  Aillemore Mayo married to a Bridget  with stepson Patrick Malley, Stepdaughter Mary Malley, Stepson Thomas Malley and daughter Honor Malley.  Note Stepchildren have same last name. 

But Even if Annie age 16 or 17 at this point was out of the house & working. Where are the other littles?  Catherine around 11, James around 9 and Bridget around 6. 

I searched through as many gravesites as I could find and didn't spot any of these Malley's/O'Malleys. Nor could I find them by searching deaths. I know my aunt said lots of the littles died early. But I know Catherine (Kitt) survived moved to US and Married, and Mary survived and moved to the US also.

Also I have written to the Archdiocese of Hartford asking them if they can provide marriage records of Anne O'Malley  & Joseph Peter Conboy in New Haven Ct between Oct 21, 1919 when the ship arrived in New York Harbor and the Jan 26, 1920 census when they are married and living on Bardol St in Buffalo, NY.

Heywood   does this reference  to the marriage of William & Bridget  show witnesseas

I found a transcription of Annie’s  Birth not the original.

Name:    Anne Malley  (prefixes were usually dropped it said)
DOB 3 September 1885
Address: Corry
District Louisburgh
Region: South Mayo
Father: William Malley
Mother: Bridget Durkan
Reference: 11-11

It said possible siblings:
Patrick             1887
Mary                1889
Catherine         1890
James               1892
Bridget             1895
Thomas            1896

There was a James 8 yrs in Liverpool with uncle Durkin in 1901.
The family you have in 1901 (Michael as stepfather) are here in 1911 (spelling variation)
Mally
Bridget now a widow and more children from 2nd marriage.
There is an Anne here 25 yrs though. At some point she is transcribed as 'daughter in law' but the actual census says daughter.

Re the marriage of William and Bridget - that is just the index reference. You would have to apply for the details: http://www.groireland.ie/

You could check out this site - more expensive (about 10 euros)  though than sending for the cert but I think it is more instant Mayo Ancestors

I couldn't find a Michael/Bridget marriage but then tried Mayo ancestors and there is this (two variations of same I am assuming)
Michael and Bridget

Thank you.
 I saw that reference on Mayo Ancestors also for Bridget & Michael Mally.  I was a little hestitant to spend 10 euros to find it was the wrong one
The reference 11-11 to Annie's birth came off that site. 
Poor Bridget didn't have much luck with her husbands.
I'll check out all this info you've given me today.

Civil Marriage Record.  Centre Name: South Mayo  District Name: Louisburgh   Date: February 22, 1883

        to
Bridget Durcan age 24, farmer's daughter, spinster, Address: Waste Land, Father: Martin Durcan, farmer
Witnesses: Thomas Durcan, Mary Durcan
Reference 8-11

[abyrne]

What does this mean? Why does Bridget's second husband' address show as CURRA? What is CURRA?

Civil Marriage Louisburgh district Reference 10-2

Name  Michael Maley  Batchelor
Occupation  Farmer
Address Curra

Name  Bridget Maley  Widow  Farmers wife
Address Curra
Date of Marriage  29 June 1898

Husband's  Father    Thady Maley Farmer
Wife's Father  Martin Maley Farmer

Witness 1  Edward Maley
Witness 2  Winifred Maley


but this is her right?
 

[heywood]

Hi again,

I would think that 'Curra' is a variation of 'Corry'.
You could check with the library to see  Louisburgh library

The census has this Thady Malley who has a son Ned. The address is Corryaughany.
There are 3 townlands: Corryaughany; Corrydavitt and Corrymailley in Aillemore DED.

Bridget's father is shown as Martin Maley rather than Martin Durkan  but that could be just a mistake as her married name was Malley.

If you wanted to be really sure, a birth certificate for baby Honor might show that Bridget was formerly Durkan but I suppose it may not.

I did not know Briget left Ireland. 78 Soho is the address on the ship 's  record when Annie travelled to the US

1925 this notice of probate:
O’Malley, Bridget of 78 Soho Street, Liverpool, widow, died 23 March 1915 at Winwick near Warrington Administration  Liverpool.  29 December to Patrick O’Malley butcher £ 26 5s 4d.
(note I believe this to be her eldest son, Anne’s younger brother)

Record of Catholic burial
25 March 1915
Ford Cemetery
Liverpool Lancashire England
51 years old            H  508

So, Bridget was in Liverpool and had passed away before Annie sailed to the US.



from Record of Roman Catholic Burial ref H 508 is the gravesite in Ford cemetery
The site map shows buried there O'Malley

the Deeds on file for site H508 date 8 April 1898 surname: Durkin owner: Mr Patrick Alfred

Now I was told previously about young James O'Malley living with Uncle Patrick A Durkin but I did  not know how to connect them. I think this gets me a little closer.

Death notice or probate
Durkin, Patrick Alfred of 10 Prescot Drive Newsham Park Liverpool died 11 Jan 1933 Administration 1 May to Helen Durkin widow and Martin Francis Durkin meat salesman. Effects £1127 4s 9d.
