Hi Joe

I've just come across your message from 2016, I have a copy of Mary O'Reilly's birth record & she was born on the 14th September 1894. Her mother Johanna (O) Dwyer was baptised on the 15th of January 1863, her parents were Michael Dwyer & Johanna Barry. My grandfather James Dwyer is her brother.

I've just found your post from 2016, Mary O'Reilly's mother, Johanna O'Dwyer is the sister of my grandfather, James O'Dwyer. I have Mary O'Reilly's birth as the 14th of March 1894. Did you manage to find her Marriage record?

Thanks for your reply aghadowey

This is the info I have:

Michael born 1861 in Knockanebrack, he died in 1864
Johanna born 1863 - No Townland, Sponsors at baptism John Martin & Honora Murnane
Denis 1865 Knockanebrack
Thomas b 1866, died 1866
Matthew born 1866, Galbally died 1869 of Scarletina, Sponsors at Baptism Thomas Slattery, Ellen Dwyer, Patrick O'Donnell & Bridget Slattery
Michael born 1868 died of a chest infection - No medical attention 1869. Sponsors Patrick Donnell & Mary Murnane
Catherine b 1868 died 1870 Knockanebrack                       
Patrick b 1872 Sponsors at Baptism John Burke & Catherine Richardson - no given name at Baptism
Margaret b 1874 Lissard died 1877 Lissard
Eliza born 1874 Galbally Sponsors at Baptism Maurice Richardson, Bridget Hanley, Denis Gallahoe, Mary Ryan
Michael born 1876 Lissard Sponsors Richard Casey & Catherine Barry
Catherine 1878 Lissard
James born 1882 Galbally Sponsors at his Baptism were Mary O'Donnell & William McGrath

They also lived in Annagh townland, Galbally but I can't find the record at the moment. The baptism records I have are from the IFHF & also from the Catholic Church in Galbally. I did send for the marriage record for my grandfather James O'Dwyer to Mary Buckley but it didn't give any info for his father.

Thanks Gail

I had Jane Atkins married to John Knight but I don't think they had any offspring, so your ancestor must be a different John Knight!

Gail, my gggg grandmother was Mary Atkins, she married Samuel Shilton in 1798 & I believe that Samuel was the witness to the marriage of John Knight & Jane Atkins. Have you found any further info on your John Knight?
