Hi, Just wondering if you are the same person who is looking for information re Paddy Roche on Ireland xo. My husband's Grand Aunt was married to Paddy Roche's Uncle Matthew in the early 1900s. I know he played football for Galway for a number of years but could never find out where he went to after 1929. Have some other bits and pieces about his family if its is any help to you.

Thanks. yes I am looking for information for Patrick Roche I just found out recently that I may be related to him and I would be grateful for any information. My dad was Christy Madden from Ballinasloe who also played football for St. Grellans.
Thanks

Hi Deb, The following is the information I have re the Roche family. You may have all this already, its as much as I have been able to find and don't know if it is any help to you. I would be interested in knowing where the Madden connection comes in if you are willing to share that info.
Michael Roche born circa 1824 died 11th February 1904
married
Catherine Laffy born circa 1834 died 16th January 1914
Lived at Tea Lane, Ballinasloe.
Margaret Roche d.o.b. unknown died13th May 1920
Michael Roche born 21st November 1865 married Jane Manning
*Joseph Roche born 12th March 1869 died 27th October 1936: married Mary Fahey 5th May 1893, died 9th October 1936*
Matthew Roche born 10th September 1873 married Margaret Smyth
* Children of Joseph Roche
*Patrick (Paddy) Roche born 27th February 1896*
Mary E. Roche born 4th December 1899
Kathleen Roche born 11th July 1901
Bridget Roche born 23rd April 1904
Margaret Roche born born 19th February 1907
I have been unable to find out where Michael Roche and Catherine Laffey (Grandparents of Paddy Roche) were born. I know that Kathleen Roche went to the U.S.A. as she lived with my husband’s Grand Aunt, Margaret Roche nee Smyth, in New York for a while.
I have emailed both Galway and Ballinasloe G.A.A. seeking any further information on Paddy Roche as he was a well known County footballer for at least 8 years in the 1920s but, unfortunately, have received no response.
I have also found the Roche name spelled in different ways if that is any help to you i.e. Roach/Roache.

Think he was born mid 1890's
Is he not on 1901 or 1911 Census?
