Kathleen Mullane, Rathclare

[scatty]

 Hello fellow Roots chatters,

Hoping very much someone here has a family connection or knowledge of Kathleen (Kitty) Mullane daughter of Patrick Mullane and Mary Collins. Kitty was born in 1917 in Rathclare, Buttevant and worked as an unmarried house servant up until at least 1945 when she disappeared off my radar.
I have checked death and marriages after that time period using kathleen/ Catherine or Kate /Kitty but cannot positively identify which if any records might relate to her. Her fathers Mullane family also had a strong link to Doneraile if this is of any help.
I'm posting this in the hope that someone may have her on their family tree and offer thanks for any help or guidance.

Regards, Scatty

What documentation do you have that identifies her in 1945?

Do you know her exact birthdate?

Hello CarolW,
Thank you for the reply.
Kathleen / Kitty was born 4th August 1917 in Rathclare and was my grandmother's niece. When she was age 28 and in service she gave birth to a daughter while still single. Father not recorded.
For some reason which I'm trying to establish her daughter was raised by my grandmother and I have inherited a couple of photos of both this girl and myself taken together as children as I also lived with my grandmother for at least 4 or 5 years.
I have a copy of her 1945 birth but as I'm not sure if she is still alive ( we lost touch in about 1965 ) I won't post her details on public forum. Kitty's birth entry is on the online Irish  database. I would love to learn more about Kitty after 1945, my thoughts are she may have emigrated or married.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards Scatty

That's fine.  Marriage would be my first guess but if neither your grandmother or her daughter had contact with her - you can't rule out emigration.
