Connolly in Caddagh

[heywood]

Possibly but it is not clear.
There are a lot of Connollys as you can see, so putting together the name with the townland brings up those  records.
You could look at how the other names on the parish records are recorded. Is the mother’s name shown.

Im a little bit confused here. Its says on the 1911 Michael Connolly is a widower

When I go to the 1901 cenus

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Monaghan/Cremartin/Coolmannan/1629935/

It says a Michael Connolly is not married

Not sure is this the same Michael Connolly who is related to Bridget Connolly

[heywood]

Yes it is confusing. I am not sure.
Here is the death of Mary Connolly wife of Michael.

On the same page there is the death of John Connolly, 19 yrs and Michael seems to be the informant. I can’t see a birth which would link so perhaps this young man, John, is a relative rather than a son to Michael and sibling to Bridget.

[thedownman93]

It could be the same Michael, maybe just an error? It says a Michael Ward is a nephew on both years. Also a John Connolly is born to a Mary Connnolly that matches his age on that death certificate but its in Kilmore and the fathers names is scored out.

Could this be the same Mary from the death certificate?

[heywood]

Mary from the death certificate is married to Michael and from Coolmannan.

John Connolly, 19 yrs who died at the same time is from Devlin. There is a birth for John Connolly in Devlin.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1866/03545/2305054.pdf

The two families could be related. It could be an error on the death register, maybe.
The two townlands Devlin  and Coolmannan are next to each other.

[thedownman93]

I think you are right about John. Do you any other information on the birth of Michael and Mary's children. I just like to find out Mary's surname if its possible

[heywood]

Possibly a sister to Bridget - marriage of Anne Connolly and John Evans - same residence and father Michael (alive) in 1881

The church record gives parents as Peter and Maria Connolly 
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632826#page/56/mode/1up
It is easier to read on Ancestry

Here is another possibility
James Murray and Mary Conly
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1873/11269/8133009.pdf

The parish record shows parents as Michael and Mary (Connolly) names are in Latin on the record
https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000632826#page/44/mode/1up

As the mother’s names are given on other records it could be that the mother is Mary Connolly.

These records indicate she was Connolly.

[thedownman93]

So her maiden name would have been Connolly?

[heywood]

It looks that way on the records.
