wells family limerick
« on: Wednesday 18 February 09 14:18 GMT (UK) »
I am researching the Wells family who originated from Limerick. Daughters Agnes Wells and Mary Wells. Mother Agnes Dennehay/Dennehy married ? Wells. Daughters born early 1900s. Daughters came over to Devon, England. Mary married Ernest George Bennett (born 1896 Exeter) in 1919 in Devonport. I'm trying to trace back the family.

Thanks

Think this is the family in 1911 Ireland Census

Albert Wells and Bridget Agnes Denihan

And looks like the marriage of Albert

Albert A Wells
Registration District: Limerick
Year and Quarter: Jul-Sep 1886
Volume 5 Page 199

Bridget A Denihan
Registration District: Limerick
Year and Quarter: Jul-Sep 1886
Volume 5 Page 199

Using the below link i found they were married in St. Michael's RC Church.

Limerick Genealogy Website

Also looks like this is birth of Bridget Agnes Denihan

Bridget Agnes Denihan
Registration District: Limerick
Year: 1867
Volume 10 Page 521

On the Limerick Genealogy site
Its
Bridget Agnes Denihan
Year: 1867
Limerick No. 4 (CR)
Father's Name: John

I had a further look and Bridget Agnes Denihan appears to be daughter of John Denihan and Mary Anne Irwine
Who had the following children recorded on IGI

Edmund Francis Denihan 23-May-1864 Limerick, Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine
Ellen Theresa Denihan 25-Dec-1865 Limerick, Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine
Bridget Agnes Denihan 9-Jun-1867 Clare, Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine (probably a mistake with the Clare here?)
Christina Denihan 10-Feb-1871 Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine
Annie Denihan 1-Dec-1873 Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine
William Denihan 5-Sep-1875 Limerick, Ireland Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine
John Christopher Denihan  4-Nov-1879 City No.4 Limerick Parents: John Denihan & Mary Anne Irwine

Bridget and Albert were my great grandparents.  My grandfather, Richard was their youngest son.
