PATRICK MAHER married JUDITH GUILFOYLE on 12th October 1863
[I think, but am not sure , Judith Guilfoyle (Guilfoil, Kilfoyle) was born 11th December 1840 in Freshford.{ spelling can vary}
Her parents Michael Guilfoil and Catherine Walsh]
They had a family of eleven.
Bridget who was born 14-11-1863.
Patrick who was born 08-06-1865.
Mary. (Patrick's twin)08-06-1865.
Catherine.who was born 28-01-1868.
Ellen. who was born.19-06-1869.
Johanna. who was born 10-06-1871.
Margaret. who was born 03-06-1873.
William . who was born 30-06-1874.
Ann. . who was born 02-12-1876.
Rose. . who was born 12-06-1879.
Elizabeth.who was born 12-06-1879.
Rose and Elizabeth also twins.
( IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THESE DATES ARE BAPTISMAL DATES AND NOT BIRTHDATES AS THE INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM CHURCH RECORDS )
Bridget Maher was my Great Grandmother. I am interested in finding some information on her mother JUDITH GUILFOYLE. (my great,great grandmother).
Anne Maher (02/12/1876 ) married ... ? .. St. John.
This picture of Rose Maher, (my great grand aunt) , standing at the front door of a house with a small child of maybe 2/3years at her side. It could have been taken from about 1929 onwards (just guessing)
Any information would be welcome. Am trying to broaden the info. that I have.

Such a long time since I posted here..... Still interested in finding any information on Maher family from Ballinstick..

Hi Aislinn - I've been able to few church records in the Parish priest's houses for my own relations, and they are baptismal dates..the birth usually took place within the week before. If you know where all the children were born, you should be able to send away to GRO in Roscommon for a copy of their birth certs - a genealogy/research cert costs €4.
Rootsireland.ie gives Judith Guilfoyle to be born 1840 in Freshford to Michael Guilfoyle & Catherine Walsh. There was also a John b. 1843. Have found that Michael married Catherine in 1838 in Freshford also.
This is from Ancestry in Ireland's Civil Registration Indexes:
Name: Edmond St John
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1902
Registration district: Urlingford
Volume: 3
Page Number: 457
FHL Film Number: 101260
Records on Page:
Name
Edmond St John
Kate Stokes
Anne Maher
Johanna Webster
Thomas Webster
Thomas Burke
I cross-refrenced it with records on rootsireland and found the marriage in Kilcooley - her father's name was Patrick Maher - you will have to buy a full subscription to view the actual record :-) I think this is Edmond St.John on the census - is a widower http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Ballyphilip/Curraheenduff/837952/
Hope this helps

Rose Maher, Ballinstick. With a young child. Prob a grandchild.
-
I am thinking, the child in this picture with Rose Maher, if still living, would be 80 years + .. It's a long shot, but there must be decendants of Rose, or him/her out there somewhere... Would love to know ....

A lot of images of Civil Certs are online now, you may find something there. Marriages for the children perhaps.
For example here is Rosalie and Eliza birth certs

These dates came from Church records so it is possible they are baptismal dates, not birthdates. But they are close .

According to the census of 1911 the Mahers and the St Johns were neighbours,Ann died,we were told during childbirth in March 1910,her husband Edmond along with his eldest son Richard emigrated to America around 1921,her two middle sons Patrick ( our grandpa) and Edmond jnr came to England,whilst the youngest son James stayedin Curraheenduff with his grandparents,James daughter Ann still resides in the bungalow next to the now derelict family house.Ann Maher (St John)is buried in the cemetry at i think Ballingarry,ive a photo of the headstone which also has the name of Edmond and Patrick on it

.......whilst the youngest son James stayedin Curraheenduff with his grandparents........
This is probably the marriage of James to Catherine Gleeson in 1942. She was residing in the townland of Mardyke.

Hello,
My great-grandmother was Ellen Maher. She was the daughter of Patrick Maher and Bridget Mullally. She was born in 1847 and lived in Ballinastick. I am also closely related to other Maher families in the Parish of Gortnahoe (Ballinastick was in the Parish of Gortnahoe), One of the other families lived in Ballinunty. That is the family of Patrick Maher and Bridget Mulhall. I have confirmed this through DNA matching. I'm wondering if you and I are related? Have you taken a DNA test? Would you be willing to explore if we are related?

Several months ago, I began a blog about my research regarding the Mahers of Gortnahoe Parish, which I've been researching for many years. If you are interested, you can find it here: https://gortnahoemahers.blogspot.com/ I plan to continue my research into this area over time. I live in the United States. Many of my Maher relatives immigrated here, but I've also found relatives in Wales and England.
