Maria Croake

[DebNZ]

Good morning

I'm looking for the mother of Maria Croake b. 1838, Kilkenny, Ireland.  Her dad was Michael Croake b. 1813-1815, who later went to England taking Maria with him and married Jane Howell there in 1848.  New wife Jane was only 10 years older than daughter Maria so, although subsequent English census records have Jane as Maria's mother, that just isn't possible.  Any ideas?

Also looking for Michael's father - reputedly named Dominic - and his mother who I have no clues about.

Many thanks
DebNZ

Historic Graves has inscriptions from Ennisag Kilkenny that are worth a look.

First two links given are for individual graves with CROAKE.    The third link is for entire graveyard, St. Peters,  Ennisnag, Co. Kilkenny   
Thanks to Jack2227 for finding this.

Thanks so much!  I'll have a hunt for Brigid in the family.

COULD SHE BE A YOUNGER SISTER ?
How do you know that he is her father ?

Link about a Dominick Croak

I have searched for a baptism record for Maria/Mary Croak and have come up empty.  I also searched for a marriage record for her father Michael Croak but have also come up empty.  I have conflicting information on what happened to Maria.  One source said that she emigrated to Australia.  I have found no evidence of this.  Another source said that she married Daniel McCoy Poole, 28 Jun 1858 in Westminster, London.  They had seven children and she died 13 Jul 1877 In Strand, London.

There is a link to Dominic Croak on another posting.  I posted the information on Dominic my 3rd great uncle.
