Hi Maggsie,
many thanks for getting back to me,
I have no Brigit for Brian and Mary Mahoney, but i do have a Bridget born to who i thinks are Kate/Brians parents:
Baptism(Rootsireland)
27 July 1848 • SOLOHEAD & OOLA,Co.Limerick.
Name: Bridget Mahony, Date of Baptism: 27-Jul-1848,Address: Gortaclareen, Denomination: Roman Catholic,Father: John Mahony,Mother: Margaret Carroll, Informant 1: Js Carroll. Informant 2: Mgt Moloney
From Rootsireland site I do have a son to a Brian and Mary Mahony, James:Baptism
5 March 1880 • Murroe, Boher and Abington, Limerick and Tipperary, Ireland
James Mahony, Date of Baptism: 05-Mar-1880 Address: Meentolla,Parish/District: MURROE & BOHER ,Co. Limerick,Denomination: Roman Catholic,Father: Bryan Mahony, Mother: Mary Mahony, Sponsor:Hugh O'Gorman,Sponsor 2:Mary O'Gorman (as you can see his parents are hopefully my Brian, differently spelt Bryan Mahony and wife as Mary Mahony , i have found this marriage, but people in family in NZ have Brian married to Ellen Twoomey. so hence my problem, i dont have a marriage to Ellen nor can i find any.
I have no Denis or William either.
I do however have a James to Brian and Mary Mahony: Baptism
5 March 1880 • Murroe, Boher and Abington, Limerick and Tipperary, Ireland.
James Mahony, Date of Baptism: 05-Mar-1880 Address: Meentolla,Parish/District: MURROE & BOHER ,Co. Limerick,Denomination: Roman Catholic,Father: Bryan Mahony, Mother: Mary Mahony, Sponsor:Hugh O'Gorman,Sponsor 2:Mary O'Gorman.
Unfortunately like i said in previous post i have so may name spelling variants and all the names are common in ireland i dont know how to work out whos who and where they all belong,or if they belong to my tree,and with Limerick and Tipperary overlapping in records that only makes it harder to define.
You say work back from actual documents, i only have the documents that are on the ancestry websites so i have no way of knowing if any are correct,as with all spellings and sometime it says Oola Tipperary sometimes its Limerick,
as i cant find Bryan/kate's parents marriage details, My tree starts from Catherine(Kate the person who originally married into my family, i have all her details correct) i do however have a births for both Kates/Bryans parents if they are also correct as per these records of baptisms.
many thanks once again
Debbie
