The tree shows the wrong death for Julia - I agree with shanreagh re the 1908 death.

It also shows a death for Patrick for May 1929 which is wrong. That man is a bachelor.


Also agree with shanreagh - definitely an 'R' at the beginning of the surname. See the surname Ryan just a few entries above.

Patrick Reilly died at Clooneen in 1940 aged 86 yrs. His widow Margaret was the informant.

Thanks KG.
Margaret, Patrick’s wife, died 1945 - son Patrick, the informant.
So still no sign of Mary

This is likely to be the death record of Margaret Reilly (widow) in 1945 at Clooneen. Her son Patrick was the informant.

So Patrick snr died before 1945.

Yes I found this today

She appears then on the 1911 Census in Ireland, along with her brother Patrick.  Still in Dunmore.  I am struggling to find her Death record, I have gone through Tuam and Galway records(16 records each) and most of the Mary Reilly are widows (assuming she never married, still single in 1911), I have been looking for Spinster.  I did find one, but would like an opinion on it.  It does state Housewife, even though I think she never married. 

I am therefore assuming she is referred to Housewife, being living with her brother and his wife and family?

In brief, not sure if this her death I suspect so, I am not convinced she did marry....

According to her death record, this Mary Reilly lived in Poleredmond (sic) near Williamstown in Co Galway.

Here's the actual townland - Pollremon just to the west of Williamstown.
https://www.townlands.ie/galway/ballymoe/templetogher/templetogher/pollremon/

It's about 11 km NE of the townland of Dunmore (and Dunmore village).

https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4136961#map=13/53.6498/-8.6509

So it's possible that this is your Mary Reilly - a spinster and housewife (or often termed housekeeper).

Have you found the death of her brother Patrick and where he lived at death?

1911 census at Dunmore
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Dunmore_South/Dunmore/475400/

I ignored this as I thought the place was wrong, but then I am not really good with Townlands as such.  Maybe I need to go on a course or something as this is really difficult area for me

And further to Kiltaglassan's post  there is a Mary Reilly who is mentioned in Griffiths Valuation as leasing an area of land in Pollremon in 1856.  There is a Martin Reilly who also leases land there.

I also think it would be a good idea to find Patrick's death and see where he was at death. Also to find Mary and Patrick in the 1901 census.

I think this Mary is one also on the 1901 Census and her name is spelt Mary D O Reially?
