Unless Bridget was Mary. Which is possible....

She could be - sister Rose was known to everyone as Paddy

Just to confuse matters - mother Mary occasionally used Ohara as her maiden name for birth registrations.

She was born Gray, illegitimate, her mother married a Michael Ohara.

There was definitely a Brigid - I met her - Auntie Biddie!

I’ve periodically been working on my husbands tree. He’s of Irish ancestry.

Great grandfather was Michael Maher, who married Mary Gray (she occasionally uses the maiden name O’Hara in her children’s birth registrations. I’ve had several posts on Rootschat about their family. Here are a couple of them.

Since that first original post, I’ve confirmed the following children for Michael and Mary.


Mary (Molly) b1909 Mullingar, died 1980
Rose b1911 Mullingar, died 1989
John Joseph b1914 Mullingar, died 1915
Teresa b1916 Mullingar, died 1962
Michael (Mick) b1918, died 1999
Catherine/Kathleen, b1920 died 2008
Bridget b1923  died 2003
Christopher b1926, died 2004
Annie b1930, died 2022

All apart from John Joseph died in England.

A couple of days ago, on irishgenealogy.ie I found another child - Mary, born 1922 in the County Hospital, Mullingar. 

My husband grew up knowing his great gran and reckons she had about 10 children, and “one or two” died young.

I cannot find a death for a young Mary, or if she didn’t die as a child, any marriage I’m happy that is her,

Can anyone find her? I’m about to go to work, but will pop in, so to speak, periodically.

United States of America / Minnie Woodman nee Kackley death or divorce
« on: Tuesday 23 January 24 19:33 GMT (UK)  »
Would SKS be able to find a death or divorce for Minnie Woodman, nee Kackley.

Minnie was born 1881 in Ohio, the daughter of Joseph Kackley and Laura Starr. Minnie marries George Henry Woodman in December 1900.

George seems to go on to marry a Mamie Ferrell in 1918 in Arkansas. I have found the deaths of both George and Mamie, but cannot find out what became of Minnie.

If anyone could help, I would much appreciate it.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: DNA match

Happy Christmas

I have been researching my son in laws mothers tree for her 75th birthday in January.  It has been a bit of a rush and so have only gone back a few generations.  The original surname is Urch.  In my search I came across an ancestry member in the Urch tree with a DNA match to me!!!  Obviously this was a huge shock, so I emailed the person but they did not reply.  It states 5th to 8th cousin 8cM across 1 seg.

Can anyone explain this please.

Also if I now go back to my tree  and look at the extended tree going backwards cousins etc should I in theory come across a connection?
I have already found a 1xcousin 3 x removed in my tree that marries an Urch but he is not in my son in laws tree at the moment. 

Lastly I have bought my son in law a DNA kit to see if it comes up that we are actually related, if it is the case I was thinking of hiring someone to look at it for me.  Any recommendations from who I might use?

Hope this makes sense  :-\

Sue

I can’t help with the DNA aspect as this is a route I’ve not gone down - yet.

Just wondering where your Urch person is from, as I have several in my tree, starting in Somerset and moving to Bristol through the generations.

The 1950-1964 time she had her name changed by Depoll to Bayliss.

It’s deed poll, not depoll
