Thank you dathai for all the information you sent earlier today, which is really appreciated. Would you have any idea where Jane might be buried, with dying in Monaghan, as I would really like to find this out, thanks too for Thomas's death details.
With Janes death now definitely 1853/54, the other Jane Elizabeth Kilroy mentioned, could she be a relative? I realise many people aged more than 10 years after introd of the Old Age Pension, but the 1901 said Jane and 2 of the girls religion were The Irish Church, though the 1911 census for the Stratford family is Church of Ireland. Looking at the information about Janes father, John Kilroy and his wife Catherine, was their religion also The Irish Church and if so, could Jane have changed religion if they're the same person? I was a bit confused about Jane Killroy aged 50 from Parish Ballymachugh, as I have Janes surname as Kilroy,and wonder if they the same and if so, how they are connected, would be really grateful if you can let me know.
Re. the Stratford family, my correct family line from the 1821 census are from Kilgolagh/Kelgola, many thanks for sending that on. Thomas's father was Mark Stratford, b. 1801 Kilgolagh, Co.Cavan d.1869 (who married Thomasina Ferguson) they also had Robert b.1804, Andy b.1805, Thomas b.1806, Mary b.1802,Judith b.1807,Sidney Nancy b.1811. Re. Mark b.1801-1869 his father was also called Mark b.1778 and mother I think, called Judith.
Re. Katherine/Kathleen Jane Hunter (maiden name Stratford) who married John Thomas Hunter, thanks for all previous information abt their marriage and her death, would you know if their farm bought mid 1920s was anywhere near Dromard (close to Cavan)as would really like to find this out too.
Thanks again for all your help with this.
