Marriage Jim Henry & Mary Kate Hickey

[If Only]

Hi all,

I am trying to find the marriage of Jim Henry and Mary Kate (Mamie) Hickey circa 1920.

When I was child I was told that Jim worked on Lord Barrymore's estate in Fota ? Co. Cork.

They had three sons Jock, Patrick and michael.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
The site below is interesting, tenants on lord Barrymore's estate etc (can't see your people though, sorry).
Scroll down, till you see mention of Fota, could be the same place you think your man is from.

Cheers

Hi Mags,

Thanks for your information......that is definitely the place.

I love to build up a picture of a place and what the social history is, so the link is more than welcome.

As you say my people are not there...it was a little bit early for them....I will keep plugging away.

I agree with you about building up a picture of a place and the local history etc.
Will keep my eyes peeled for any info on your man though!

Hi again
Here's a bit more on the history of the estate (if you already have this, sorry!)

I meant to ask, is Jim Henry his full name, or are those his christian names, with Hickey being his surname?

Hi Mags,

Jim Henry was his full name.....but can see that it might be misread.....trying to think best way to make it clearer.
