On Marriage Certificate Thomas’s address was Annamoe, Co Wicklow & his occupation was Baker.  Married 1864 to Sarah Jane Newman bc 1837, her address Ballyhad, Rathdrum, in The Registrar’s Office in Rathdrum, presumably as it was a mixed marriage, Thomas being of the Roman Catholic Faith and his wife Church of Ireland.

6  Thomas Joseph born May 1873. My Grandfather, also a baker by trade had a bakery at Summer Hill, with his father. In 1897 he captained a football team called The Old Dark Blues. I have a photo of this team with Tommy holding the football, his brother Alex is also in this photograph, but unfortunately I do not know which one he is. I also have a photo taken c 1921 when he is standing on the side, now too old to be a player.
7  John Patrick born April 1879. Family lore says “he joined The Black Watch Reg. and was never heard of again.”

Sorry to be so long winded but perhaps someone will recognoise some of the name mentioned above.

 Hi calling all Flannery's

I am trying to trace relatives of my husband's side of the family who came from Nenagh, Co Tipperary. Would love to hear from you.
 
My husband Ned, is an only child whose father, a plumber by trade, died when he was nearly 2 yrs old. His mother was one of a family of 12 children, so naturelly he knew his mother's side of the family but unfortunately never knew his father's side. They lived in Tyone, Nenagh. Ned's mother used to say "when you looked out her door, you could see the smoke from 7 Flannery chimneys". I do remember meeting a cousin a long time ago when visiting Nenagh I think his name was Philip Flannery, and if I am not mistaken he was also a plumber.

My husband Ned Flannery was born in Nenagh to:

(1) Edward Flannery b 1894 Pound Street, who married 20 Feb 1935, in Church of St. Michael, Eglish, Terryglass by Rev. J Clune P.P. Borrisokane to Hanora Nolan of Terryglass. His parents were:

(2) Neddie Flannery & Margaret Spain of Whitewalls, Nenagh, who married Feb 1893 St. Mary of the Rosary R.C.Church, Nenagh, Co Tipperary. Neddie was the eldist of at least 7 children. 1 Neddie, 2 Daniel, 3 Michael, 4 William, 5 Philip who married Molly Tierney. I think they had a pub in Pound Street, called "The Dapp Inn" or they managed it don't know which. They had a son also called Edward. The 6th John & 7th Maryanne were twins born 1903.

 (3) Neddie's parents were Edward Flannery bc 1806 married c 1839 to Maryanne Walsh, they had about 6 children. 1 Philip, 2 Michael, 3 Mary b 1848 married John Wade and had a son Johnny Wade who died 1961 in Tyone, Nenagh with Ned's Mother. 4 Johanna 1851-1929, a farmer on the census, of Tyone, who never married. 5 Jack, 6 Neddie, 7 Catherine bp Nov 1860, 8 Bridget bp Jul 1863.

(4) Neddie's parents were Philip Flannery & Mary Kenna who married c 1792 and I know of 4 children born to them. 1 John bp  1793, 2 Bridget bp 1795, Sally bp 1797, 4, Edward bc 1806 married c 1839 Mary Anne Walsh.

Does any of the above ring any bells? I only hope so. Looking forward to hearing from you.

 Yours sincerely

Hi Spain or McFuitcheon and Mullen families,

I am trying for the 1st time to trace a gr-uncle of mine & his family, the following is the information I have,
Richard Waters born 25th August 1884 at Abbey Hill, Wicklow, was baptised 27th August 1884, in St Patrick’s R.C. Church, Wicklow Town. He was the 4th child of George Waters & Maryanne nee Haughton.  (1) Anna born 12th May 1875. (2) James Joseph born 21st May 1877 – 1913 no issue. (3) Julia Mary born 24th July 1879 – 1928 married Thomas O’Carroll of Summer Hill, Wicklow Town and had issue 10 children. (4) Richard John.
Dick as he was called was married 27th Oct 1913 to Hanorah Spain born 2 May 1884, in R.C. Church of  The Catholic University, Dublin. Witnesses Thomas O'Carroll (his brother-in-law married to his sister Julia Waters, my grandparents) & Jeannie O'Sullivan. His address on his marriage cert. was 29 Cuff St. Dublin. His occupation was Silk weaver.

Hanorah Spain was born 2 May 1884 to John Spain & Ellen nee Mullen. Her address on birth was 64 Church St. North Dublin, and address on her marriage certificate was 29 Cuff St. Dublin

Dick as the family called him emigrated to Main or Seattle in U.S.A. with wife & about 6 children (information verbal from my Mother Angela). I have never tried to track them down, but I am sure we must have some Waters descendents still living in the U.S.A. In time they may wish to contact us. I have 'a feeling' that Richard & his older brother James may have had a falling out!
