Molloy family

[tofrek]

Hello

Looking for any info. pertaining to Patrick Molloy born approx. 1811 in Kilkenny. He was living in London by 1841. Married to Catherine also from Kilkenny. That is all I have. Thank you for anything at all.

Killkenny parish records are included on the pay-site www.irish-roots.net - but I dont see any Patrick Molloy born in Kilkenny around that time - search for all Ireland between 1807 and 1815 lists the following Baptisms :

Mulloy    Patrick    1808    Co. Meath   
Mulloy    Patrick    1808    Co. Galway   
Molloy    Patrick    1810    Co. Westmeath   
Molloy    Patrick    1811    Co. Westmeath   
Mulloy    Patrick    1811    Co. Meath   
Mulloy    Patrick    1813    Co. Meath   
Mulloy    Patrick    1814    Co. Meath   
Molloy    Patrick    1815    Co. Dublin   
Molloy    Patrick    1815    Co. Limerick   

there are 24 Molloy records for other names for that timeframe in Kilkenny (City & County) - a few of which are spelt Mulloy. Many of the parish records commence after 1811 so Patricks birth could have been missed.

There is also a marriage of a Patrick Molloy in 1833 -  so age 22 by the dates you have

   Church Marriage    Molloy    Patrick    1833    Co. Kilkenny   

The record is from the Catholic Parish of Callan - which is centred around the town of the same name - and about 16km south-west of Kilkenny City. It's not possible to tell the Bride's name without paying for the transcript - €5. The index searches on this site are free once you register.
