Michael Conroy d 1886 Tyldesley

[ledavi01]

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?

It looks like Catherine died in the 3rd qtr 1887 ,I wonder who the informant was on her death cert.? Perhaps it may be worth getting a copy.

Thanks Dotty for the reply.  I had seen this death, but was hoping to make sure that it was the correct Michael before I bought another cert.  I'll probably have to get it though - I am prone to hitting brick walls!

I was also disappointed that parents names were not recorded as happens on Scottish death certs.  I had hoped to get another generation!

Did you find Michael on the 1881 census?

no not yet.  i have only found Peter Conroy (the informant on the death cert) - a lodger and farm labourer living at 25 Well Street, Tyldesley.

I know that Martin certainly did but not his parents.
