Mary wall information from clare

[heywood]

Well …
There is a Mary Wall born abt 1850 to John Wall and Hanorah Duggan in Clonrush parish

but also Mary Wall born 1847 to parents John Wall and Mary Hickey in Broadford parish
https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0767

If you look at the maps, Broadford is the next parish to O Callaghan’s Mills parish where I think I saw some of your Curtin baptisms.

The Curtin/Wall marriage took place in Kilbane church and Martin gives that as his residence (at the time). Looking at Kilbane it is close to Broadford. Looking at Killeen that is also the right area.

However Mary, on marriage, gives her residence as Coolderra which I think is also Coolderry.

Heywood thanks so much what is your gut telling you which is the right one hahah. I know there was a farm in kileen kilkishen from the curtin side and some of there children got baptised in killeen. I'm thinking maybe the broadford marriage is the one.

I am back.
PREAMBLE: my gggrandmother is Mary Wall (1834? -  1885) b Clonlara to James and Mary Wall according to Oz records. No record has been found for her birth. She is possibly adopted.
In 1994, I visited Clonlara and met with James Wall (died 2o13) who had extensive knowledge of his Wall family of Clonlara and extended Wall family at Coolderra. And of those who migrated to the USA. Other relatives and my self have since researched the family.

The most pertinent piece of info I can give you with relation to what has been discussed so far on Rootschat is information from the Will of Patrick Wall who died in Melbourne. The Will is dated 1923.
Patrick is from Coolderra, originally.

Patrick was unmarried and his heirs are his nieces and nephews. One nephew is John CURTIN.  I hope this helps. According to James Wall, the money from the Will was used to build a house on the Coolderra Wall farm. James took me to the farm which was sold to Hannan. The house is now used as a barn. I have photos.
