Help with Flaherty family of Dublin

[riannisuileabhain]

Hi all. I'm looking for any help figuring out the Flaherty family in Dublin.

my link begins with John Flaherty (b. c.1840) who marries Jane Gorey in 1866 in the Pro Cathedral in Dublin.

On the parish marriage certificate his parents are named as Patrick and Anne living at 2 Campbell place. I have identified that his father Patrick died in 1865 at 2 Campbell Place at age 70 (have ordered deaeth cert but not recieved it yet) and that Anne died in 1876 at 6 Holles Row (her son's house).

Both Patk and Anne are buried in a grave in Glasnevin along with two of their sons - Mathias (b. c1848) and Bartholomew (b. c. 1838). There was also one other sister, Ellen, who was a nun in Drumcondra.

None of the boys lived long enough to appear in the census other than Bartholomew who appears in King street in the 1901 census and says his birthplace is Dublin.

I have struggled to find any more info on this family and can't find any baptismal records for any of the children nor a marriage record for Patrick and Anne. I started my search in Dublin and have expanded it to nationwide and still nothing. Would appreciate any help. Thanks so much!

thanks for those. had not realised the Mathias and Ellen sponsors before. Shame i can’t seem to find Anne’s maiden name, or any of their childrens baptisms.

Is this the marriage record of John & Jane with her maiden name incorrectly spelled?  28/10/1866

Yes, if you look at original page it is Gorey but has been mis-transcribed as Josey.

[riannisuileabhain]

yes that is the correct marriage, gorey as a last name has proven equally as difficult

I would suggest trying a different approach. The daughter who was a nun - presumably you know the order? Have you approached them for records? They may well have details of parentage/birth.
