John Murtagh 1880 Westmeath

[Lisajb]

Where is Mullingar as I just remember mum saying something about Mullingar maybe something to do with her granny (Mary?)

County Westmeath - about 80 odd miles or so from Dublin, depending which route you take

Mary (Sen) could be Kathleen's mum
John could be her brother
Mary (Masie ?) Johns wife and maybe Mary E is their daughter, what do you think.

That's what I was thinking and than the house was taken over by the Watters, your mum's brother.
Finally we found something that fits to your mum's memories.

That's great, thank you, so can we go back from here to trace Kathleen's parents.

[Sinann]

That's the hope......
We have an idea now when Mary (Sen.) died and we know now Kathleen's mother was a Mary and Kathleen had a brother John.
So we can try to find Mary through her death, a head stone would be great.
We can try to follow John back through his daughter's birth, his marriage, birth.

Doesn't mean it will be easy or possible.
First does the period Mary (Sen.) no longer appears in the house fit with that grave in Westmeath?

[CathyD59]

From what I can see the gravestone says 1960 and I don't think she appears on the register after 1955/56 so if that's her where was she from 56 to 60.
