You just need to tick that you are not a robot and sign in. :)

Thank you for the lovely welcome to the two of you.
Not sure if I'm writing this in the right area still getting used to this site.
Rosie we think Mary wall born around 1852 and died 23rd june 1907 in clonlea graveyard kilkishen.
Heywood thank you so much for the wedding certificate so greatly appreciated.
John wall and hanora hickey is that who her mum and dad are according to the wedding certificate? Is there a way I can find out who her siblings were and what's her grandmother name?
Thanks
-
Her father is shown as deceased on the marriage certificate.
The witnesses are John Malley and Hanora Hickey.
This looks like her father’s death. The residence is Coolderra, the same as the marriage certificate and daughter,Mary, is the informant.

It says he is married so mother must still be alive in 1871.

Where do you have Mary after her marriage?
1901 census shows a James Wall in Cloonlara which you mention
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Kiltenanlea/Cloonlara/1083225/
And also James Walle in Coolderry (mentioned earlier). The two places are close.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Cloghera/Coolderry/1082679/
This one married Ellen Ryan and his father shown as John (not noted as deceased but that is not always shown)

This looks to be Mary in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Kilkishen/Killeen/1086272/
And her death in 1907

Morning Heywood the Census you got in 1901 and 1907 are correct.
Wall no e in her name.
John wall and hanora hickey do you think that's her parents from the 1st marriage certificate you sent? I dont have anyone after Mary wall thats where I'm stuck. I wasent sure if her dad was James.
The malley is relating to martin curtin on that wedding piece of paper that's his mum side so I say it could be correct.
Mary wall married curtin in kilkishen.
So maybe hanora hickey is her mum and a John wall?
-
The 10 Feb.1874 marriage gives Hanora Hickey as a witness & is unlikely to be her mother (father died 11 Apr.1871 so unless mother remarried right after his death her surname would not be Hickey).
Death for a widow Norah Wall, widow of a James Wall (marriage gave Mary Wall's father as John)- born c1804-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1890/06101/4741284.pdf
It's possible Mary Wall's moved elsewhere after the death of her husband. However, it's also possible that the information on the death certificate is incorrect (son James Wall was informant so perhaps his Christian name put down for deceased husband).
-
Hi Aghadowey
I must have read it wrong I thought hickey would be her maiden name. As you can see I'm clueless at this.
-
Hi Aghadowey
Is there a way of pasting a photo into this. I have her name written down but cannot make out the spelling beside it and also after her are the o malleys from ballyvorgal
-
Heywood
The o malleys from ballyvorgal are after the walls. I don't have any information on them.
I have a spelling for where Mary wall Is from but cannot make it out is there a way of posting a picture in here
-
I had to go out but had found the death that Aghadowey found and I too wondered if it was error because the residence is the same.
I wouldn’t worry about the spelling of the surname either.
Ancestry shows 3 baptism entries for presumably the same person - Mary Wall -all Clonrush parish.
May 1850 Parents John and ‘Monora’ Duggan
22nd April 1849 John and Honora Doogan
26 1851 John and Honora Doogan
It may be that they are the same record from different sources. The records are poor as you can see. It is right hand page - a couple of lines above ‘Frank Madden’ which seems to stand out.
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634685#page/11/mode/1up
I can’t see any siblings though. :-\
-
Thanks you are both very good. It really is like trying to find a needle in a haystack hahah it's so hard to know which one etc
-
Martin curtin and mary wall lived in killeen kikishen and are buried in clonlea cemetery.
Do you think the 1st marriage certificate is not them then.
And the witness they had hickey and o malley would they have to be parents etc
-
Hi, I do not want to get your hopes up but I have a connection to the Wall family in Clonlara. It is bedtime here so I will search my notes in the morning and leave a reply. In 1994 I visited Clonlara and I was shown a headstone in the Trugh churchyard. A Wall from Coolderry went to Australia and left a will naming family back in co Clare. I am in Australia, fingers crossed, I can add some relevant information. Gazania.

Hello gazania
Great thanks for your message

The malley is relating to martin curtin on that wedding piece of paper that's his mum side so I say it could be correct.
Mary wall married curtin in kilkishen.
Do you have a marriage in Kilkishen? Here they are in 1901
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Kilkishen/Killeen/1086272/
Martin curtin and mary wall lived in killeen kikishen and are buried in clonlea cemetery.
Do you think the 1st marriage certificate is not them then.
And the witness they had hickey and o malley would they have to be parents etc
If the surnames are common to the area, it could be that there is more than one marriage.
With regard to residences, couples moved - maybe followed husband’s family land or wife’s side etc.

If the 1901 census is the correct family then the 1874 marriage posted earlier is correct (the birth registrations of their children confirm mother's maiden name, etc.)
Witnesses could be anyone- generally I've found more often siblings than parents. In our church there were what I call two perpetual witnesses- time after time they both appear as witnesses- but there was a simple explanation- one was the schoolteacher at the school attached to the church and the other the church sexton who lived across the road. Both men would have been handy to the church and both were able to sign their name (not a requirement) so were called over if witnesses were needed.

Here is the parish record for that marriage

https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634667#page/133/mode/1up
If I'm reading the record correctly then residences (townlands) for witnesses are included in the church register.
-
Yes :)
-
Heywood and Aghadowey thanks so much at least now I have a marriage record and can try and go from there . Its a great help thank you so much
-
There is another birth here for a Mary Wall and the mother is Hickey :-\
It is Broadford parish where that marriage took place.
20th April 1847
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634667#page/27/mode/1up
-
Not sure now at all what line or side is it on I can't see it.?
I know that there is o malleys or mealys in the link u sent before this one from ballyvorgal in the curtin side . What was the name of the place hanora was from and whats showing as her 2nd name cannot read it ?
-
On the left hand page, there is a diagonal stain and the Wall/Hickey baptism is under that - the fourth one down.
Which Hanora do you mean? Do you mean the first baptism I posted where Hanorah Duggan is the mother?
Or Hanorah Hickey, the marriage witness?
-
Heywood
I read that wrong is it hanorah duggan who is her mum then? And thanks
-
Well …
There is a Mary Wall born abt 1850 to John Wall and Hanorah Duggan in Clonrush parish
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0773
but also Mary Wall born 1847 to parents John Wall and Mary Hickey in Broadford parish
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0767
If you look at the maps, Broadford is the next parish to O Callaghan’s Mills parish where I think I saw some of your Curtin baptisms.
The Curtin/Wall marriage took place in Kilbane church and Martin gives that as his residence (at the time). Looking at Kilbane it is close to Broadford. Looking at Killeen that is also the right area.
However Mary, on marriage, gives her residence as Coolderra which I think is also Coolderry.
-
Heywood thanks so much what is your gut telling you which is the right one hahah. I know there was a farm in kileen kilkishen from the curtin side and some of there children got baptised in killeen. I'm thinking maybe the broadford marriage is the one.
-
I am back.
PREAMBLE: my gggrandmother is Mary Wall (1834? - 1885) b Clonlara to James and Mary Wall according to Oz records. No record has been found for her birth. She is possibly adopted.
In 1994, I visited Clonlara and met with James Wall (died 2o13) who had extensive knowledge of his Wall family of Clonlara and extended Wall family at Coolderra. And of those who migrated to the USA. Other relatives and my self have since researched the family.
The most pertinent piece of info I can give you with relation to what has been discussed so far on Rootschat is information from the Will of Patrick Wall who died in Melbourne. The Will is dated 1923.
Patrick is from Coolderra, originally.
Patrick was unmarried and his heirs are his nieces and nephews. One nephew is John CURTIN. I hope this helps. According to James Wall, the money from the Will was used to build a house on the Coolderra Wall farm. James took me to the farm which was sold to Hannan. The house is now used as a barn. I have photos.
