Hello
I'm looking for more info on the Martins/Kilmartins of Roscommon.
I have a 5th grt grandmother Katherine who at some point around 1832 married a James Callaghan.
James was a member of the Revenue Police and was stationed in Boyle, Roscommon.
I have this from the records 'That James Calahan, Constable in No32 party, stationed at Boyle be suspended 1837' Its around this time the family moves to England.
Katherine and James baptise 2 children in Boyle, Roscommon.
Mary Ann bapt Jun 1832 Church of Ireland. Father is James Callaghan, Revenue Police and mother is Catherine (Surname not given)
David bapt Dec 1833 Church of Ireland. Father is James Callaghan, Revenue Police and mother is Catherine (Surname not given)
In 1841 her maiden name on her last daughters birth registration is 'Kilmartin'
On census records in England, Katherine gives her birthplace as 'Ireland' and a birthdate which goes between 1804-1816.
After James dies she marries Michael Flanagan and she gives her father as 'John Martin, Farmer'
I think she might be the Katherine Martin baptised Oct 1816 Ballyrody, Roscommon. Father is John Martin and Margaret Gannon. This baptism I think was Roman Catholic. Would it be the same Catherine who was baptising children in Church of Ireland if she was baptised Catholic?
Im not sure if this is my Catherine or not as Ive found no marriage of a Martin to a Callaghan but seeing as they baptise in Roscommon I thought she might of come from not too far away.
Any help appreciated.
