Cunningham- Tullamore

[Emerc91]

Hi,
I am looking for anyone who has information about the Cunningham family from Tullamore?
I am nearly sure I have found the right family on the 1911 census...
Timothy Cunningham and Bridget Cunningham , who lived in 12 tae lane. My grandfather was Peter Cunningham who died in 1996 aged 65, Pearce park. If anyone has any additional info I'd love to know.

Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to RootsChat!

If you haven't already done so, a good way to make surname connections with other members is to enter your surname interests in the Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names. 

This can be found at http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it under "Your Tools" at the bottom of each Rootschat page.

The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!

In the meantime, I will move this thread to the Offaly board for a more local response.

Hi Emer and Welcome !

I take it that this is the family that you refer to !

So, which of Timothy and Bridget's children was Peter's father ?

Would you like help with your tree or are you just trying to contact living relations ?

Hi guys thanks for yer responses ... My grandfather peter was a son of Timothy and Bridget I think. I'm not sure though.  But I'm nearly sure she was Bridget Grennan before she married. He was born in 1931. And it's the same cunninghams that have something to do with the Cunningham man that was executed in birr castle. My grandfather had a few brothers n sisters, john, James, Molly, Sarah etc . I don't know too much more about that side of the family . Any more info would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks.
Emer :)

Hi Emer

Your Grandad was born way after Bridget Dunne Cunningham's time - so Peter was the son of one of Timothy & Bridget's sons !

Have you gotten Peter's birth cert yet ?

Name:    Peter Cunningham
Event Type:    Birth
Event Date:    Jul - Sep 1930
Event Place:    Tullamore, Ireland
Registration Quarter and Year:    Jul - Sep 1930
Registration District:    Tullamore
Mother's Maiden Name:    Grennan
Volume Number:    3
Page Number:    406

Peter appears to have a sister called Sarah but I won't post her details as it's possible that she is still alive !

Do you have your Grandad's marriage cert ?

This would also give his father's name !
