Hi
Looking for details for Cornelius Mahoney.
Looking for any entries to prove his existance
.
We have no birth date for him. Family didn't talk about him at all so we know very little, only what we got from baptism and birth cert.
He is stated on certs as father to Mary Mahoney born August 1918, registered in Jan 1919 with birth given as Dec 1918. Mary's mother Hannah Mahoney/Lane maiden name Murphy.
If any one can think of any reason why there would have been such a big gap between birth and registration would appreciate suggestions. Address given as Bachelors Quay, Cork. Occupation labourer.
We know Cornelius died but we don't know when. I had thought that may have been the reason for delay in registration but can't find a likely death entry unless it wasn't in Cork.
Rumour had it that Cornelius died and Hannahs children Hannah born 1911 and Etta born approx 1908 were put in orphanage while Hannah kept Mary. Possibly 2older brothers also put in orphanage Richard b.1906 and Thomas b.1907. This would have put Cornelius death after 1917/18. This is just family rumour however. Hannah ended up moving to Preston Lancashire we think abt 1932 then was in London according to 1939 register with Dau Hannah and Son Richard and showed as widowed. By that time Etta said to have died.
I haven't been able to find a marriage between Hannah and Cornelius. He is potentially her third husband. 1st husband Dennis Lane Married 1896. 2nd husband Thomas Mahoney married 1906. We wondered if she didn't marry Cornelius.
There was a possible entry for son Denis Lane in Irish army census in 1922 which gives next of kin mother Hannah Mahoney. Address for both is Evergreen St. Cork. Checked this address out in 1911 census and bizarrely there is a Cornelius Mahoney and family (not mine) living in Evergreen Road which leads off Evergeen St but this may just be a big coincidence. I had wondered if this Cornelius became widowed. I do know in 1964 electoral roll in Essex Hannah born 1911 has a Mary Mahoney living with her that was supposedly a cousin. There is a Mary Mahoney in this family in Evergreen but again may be a coincidence.
Would appreciate any help to find marriage/death/ any info for Cornelius. I know there's not much to go on and this may never be solved. Thanks for any help.
Regards
