ODonnells - Kilmurry Inishmore

[kieran257]

Hi All,

I am hoping that someone can help me as I am trying to piece a family tie together.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Inishmore/Kilmurry/1376336/

I think this is the family in 1901

I think Thomas O'Donnell went to America and married Mary Dempsey.  Thomas died in Jul 1965 I think

I would be very grateful of any help anyone can give me

Thanks for all your help

Hi Kieran, what exactly do you want to find out about the O'Donnell family? Kim

[aghadowey]

I think Thomas O'Donnell went to America and married Mary Dempsey.  Thomas died in Jul 1965 I think

U.S. marriage and death certificates will most likely include names of both parents (including mother's maiden name). Thomas' Irish birth certificate will certainly do so.

Hi, a few bits.......

Marriage:
10 July 1884
Aran Islands, co Galway
Colman O'Donnell
age 24 bachelor
address: Gurtnagopple
occ: landholder
father: Patrick O'Donnell   occ: landholder  (dec.)
Mary Mullin
age 17   spinster
address: Gurtnagopple
occ: landholder's daughter
father: Thomas Mullin   occ:landholder
witnesses: Bryan Flaherty & Mary Dirrane

children to Colman & Mary (Mullin) O'Donnell:

Michael
bap: 26 or 28 June 1885

Colman
bap: 6 July 1885
*why he is baptised on a different day I have no idea

Patrick
bap: 14 December 1886

Thomas
bap: 12 August 1888

Colman
bap: 22 June 1890

Daniel
bap: 17 January 1892

Colman
bap: 7 June 1896

Julia
bap: 8 May 1898

* a few baptisms seem to be missing including daughter Mary

I could find no baptism record for a Colman O'Donnell with a father named Patrick.

I did find the birth however of Mary Mullin, her siblings and her parents' marriage.

Marriage:
13 March 1856
Dunmore, co Galway
Thomas Mullin & Mary Delany
* the bride's last name has been misrecorded- it is Daley

Births of children to Thomas & Mary (Daley) Mullin:

Bridget
bap: 21 December 1856
Dunmore, co Galway

James
bap: 18 August 1858
Dunmore, co Galway
*note says he married Catherine Ryan on 21 January 1909

Mary
born: 11 May 1867
Dunmore, co Galway

Dominick
born: 26 December 1869
Dunmore, co Galway

Michael
born: 24 April 1872
Dunmore, co Galway

Peter
born: 9 September 1874
Dunmore, co Galway

**there is a big gap between 1858-1867 so they probably had other children.

Hope this helps, Kim

Can anyone find the marriage of Thomas O'Donnell and Mary Dempsey it was before the end of WW1 once Thomas came back from the War.   It took place in Boston, Massachusetts.  Can they be found in the 1920 or 1930 census

Thanks very much for all your help
