There were 3 Thomas Rooney deaths in Dundalk RD between 1888 and 1894. One was a widower, another was survived by his wife Rose. The third was this one.

I don't think this is the one. Thomas, with wife Bridget and same children, appears on the 1901 census at age 36.

Yeah, I am getting a bit lost on this set of people. There appears to be two Thomases and two Bridgets, not counting children. There was a Thomas and Bridget all the way up to at least 1911, and then the Thomas who died in 1891. I am kinda confused on who goes with whom.

The Thomas Rooney who is shown as married to the former Bridget Morgan also shows as being born around 1865. That would make him 26 in 1891, not 44. They are the ones who show as Owen's parents. But I also see, in a census record, John Martin married to Bridget, with children in the household whose last name is Rooney, as in step-children.

When and where did they marry?
