Francis (Frank) Mcdermott 1st marriage
« on: Thursday 21 August 14 14:45 BST (UK) »
My Greatgrand  Pa Francis (Frank) McDermott married Jane Dawson (from Co Kerry)17th Sept 1872
at Parish Church Coolbanger Queens.
I have all the children 1st one was Jane b 1872
On Francis and Jane Marriage Cert it stated he was a widower. ( which was a surprise)
I would like to know who his 1st wife was and when she died, or anything about her.
And if Jane b 1872 was the daughter of his 1st or 2nd marriage.
I would appreciate any help to solve puzzle.
many Thanks

Hi There

My first question would be, what was Francis' occupation on his marriage cert.

The reason I ask this is that McDermott is not a Coolbanagher surname so we need to figure out how he was in the area, and if he was from outside the area then his first marriage needs to be looked for further afield.

Hello Tara,
Thank you for your reply.
He is listed as a servant, and residence was Mountmellick.
His Father as John as a Labourer.
His son John ( my Grandpa) marriage was at St Marys Church Donnybrook and his Father Francis was listed as a coachman that was  in 1906.
I am not familiar with  the places in Ireland,I have done a lot of google searches but still get confused.

Hi Maureen

I'm FROM Dublin yet LIVE in Laois so I know both counties well.

Well, the occupation makes more sense as it defo adds up to him not being a Coolbanagher man.

Coolbanagher is a lovely little area, it would be interesting to know who he was a coachman for. Emo Court is quite nearby.

Mountmellick was quite industrious and influential at the time too and had numerous big houses that Francis could have been coachman to.

Was Francis still alive in 1901 ?

I take it that this is Francis in 1901 and it states that he was from WICKLOW !

I've also noted that Jane says that she was from Laois YET you have said that she was from Kerry  ???

Can you clarify ?
