Lancashire / Michael Conroy d 1886 Tyldesley
« on: Wednesday 07 April 10 20:56 BST (UK)  »
I have been researching my husbands maternal grandfathers ancestors.  His gr-gr grandparents were Martin Conroy (b 26/5/1869 in Ashbrook, Strokestown, Roscommon) and Rebecca Ainsworth (b 1877 Bolton, Lanc).  In 1901 they were living in Leigh, Lanc.

Martins parents were Michael Conroy & Catherine Malady/Malerdy/Maleady.  They married 1/12/1856 Strokestown.  On Martins death cert, Michaels occ was a farmer.

I have got a death cert from GRO for a Michael Conroy who died 29/5/1886 in 29 Milk Street, Tyldesley.  The informant was his son Peter Conroy (son).  His age at death was 56y.  In 1881 a Peter Conroy was living in Well Street, Tyldesley b ~1858.  This would tie in with a sibling of Martins who was baptised in Kiltrustan, Roscommon 25/10/1857.

Does anyone have this family, and in particular can anyone tell me if the death cert I have is for my husbands Michael Conroy, spouse of Catherine Malady?

Lancashire / My Conroy Ancestors in Leigh
« on: Saturday 19 September 09 13:45 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for my gr-gr grandfathers parents and siblings. 

His name was MARTIN CONROY b. 26/5/1869 in Strokestown, Roscommon, Ireland, & d. 7/12/1919 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland.  He married REBECCA AINSWORTH on 14/10/1898 in Leigh, Lanc. 

I have found them on the 1901 census living in 4 Guest Fold (?), Leigh with their two sons MARTIN b 1897 & MAURICE b 1899.  They had a further 2 sons in Leigh (GEORGE HENRY & JAMES ROWLAND) before the family moved to Scotland (sometime betw 1904 & 1907).

MARTINs parents were MICHAEL JOSEPH CONROY & CATHERINE MALADY and his siblings were (unconfirmed):

PETER  b ~1857
JOHN b ~ 1859
CATHERINE b ~ 1861
PATRICK b 29/2/1864
MICHAEL b 9/9/1866
BRIDGET b 16/2/1872

All his siblings (that I am aware of were born in Strokestown, Ire.

I have found a death for a Michael Conroy in 1886 in Leigh and a death for a Catherine Conroy in 1887 in Leigh.  They are approx the same age that Martins parents would have been.  Unfortunately, I cannot locate any of the family in either the 1881 or 1891 census.  i am reluctant to order these certs in case their not my relations.

Can anyone help with Conroys in this area?
