Wicklow / James Maher Tinahely
« on: Tuesday 16 April 19 18:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am looking for information please on my Great Grandfather James Maher.
From what i can find he was born in 1891 to James and Mary in Tinahely in Wicklow.
He joined the Army and was stationed in Nenagh where he met my great grandmother Mary Hogan.
They married 16th January 1924 in Youghalarra Church and had 9 children including my grandmother in Newtown just outside Nenagh.
When i looked at James Mahers headstone it said he was born in 1901 which is 10 years after his stated age. His army record also says he was 21 http://census.militaryarchives.ie/pdf/Bushfield_Nenagh_Division_3_Southern_Command_Page_34.pdf
From talking to my mother James had at least 1 brother, Frederick b 1920.
I am trying to get to the bottom of James birth and who his parents are.
From searching around the area there is a James Maher born around 1901 in redbog in Carlow which is not too far from Tinahely I am wondering if i have the incorrect James in my list http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Carlow/Clonmore/Redbog/307940/

Kildare / Flood Family Ballymore Eustace
« on: Monday 18 June 18 22:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
My second great grandfather Richard Flood (1850-?) was born in Clondalkin in Dublin. He married Margaret Keogh of of Lugadowden, Woodlawn, Ballymore Eustace and lived there.
Margaret Keogh's Parents were Darby (Jeremiah) Keogh and Joanna ???
Richard and Margaret were married on 22nd November 1871 at the Roman Catholic Chapel of Ballymore Eustace.
Richard Flood and Margaret Keogh had six children that i are aware of; Michael Jeremiah (b. 12th November 1872), Maria Christina (b. 6th December 1873 - 1874), Francis Joseph (b. 4th December 1874), Joanna Margaret (b. 30th March 1876), Richard (b. 30th January 1878) and Teresa Mary (b. 9th November 1880). Richard b 1878 was my great grandfather and married Mary Anne Walsh.
It seems the Keogh family were farmers in Lugadowden and Richard took over his father in law’s land holding after his marriage to Margaret Keogh.
After this date i cannot find any information of the Floods family. I have tried to locate where in Ballymore they family lived but i am also unable to locate the farm land.

Dublin / Flood Family Red Cow and Clondalkin
« on: Wednesday 13 June 18 00:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

I am enquiring about the Flood family of Red Cow,

My records have them in the area from 1780s - 1900's.

The Flood family had a lime quarry at red cow and farm land and buildings in the Red Cow area.

The lime quarry was used to make bricks for houses in Dublin.

Michael Flood my 3rd great uncle live in Drimnagh Lodge. This is situated where Woodies is now on the Naas Road.

James Flood Lived in Stone House in Ballyfermot, which is now Markievicz park. The Floods also had a house called Porlester house at the junction Robinhood Road which is now a car garage.

The houses were eventually sold but i don't know where the Flood family went to after that or what happened to them.

Any information would be so welcoming.

Kind Regards

Paul
