Hello,
I am looking to find out the name of the mother of my Great Great Grandmother Mary Daly from Castletownroche. I know the following - Mary Daly married Richard Woods on November 26, 1866 in Ballyhooley, Castletownroche. According to the marriage cert Mary was 21 and Richard was 19. Mary names her father on the marriage cert as Tad Daly a Labourer (however I have no clue what Tad is short for?). In the 1901 census Mary and Richard are living in Sleemana, Castletownroche, on the census Mary is listed as as 54 but Richard is listed as 65 which would contradict the marriage cert. By the 1911 census Mary is dead but again Richard Woods has his age down as 65. So from the above I can assume Mary was born sometime between 1845 - 1847 in Castletownroche, Mary called her first two daughters Annie and Catherine (so possible either of those is her mother's name as Richard's mother's name was Ellen). I have tried online records however I can find no exact match for a baptism of a Mary Daly in 1845 - 1847 with a mother Annie or Catherine and a Father called Tad (or some variation of it) - I was wondering if there is anyone out there who can advise or who has access to local parish records fro Castletownroche??
