Hugh Farrell Drogheda
« on: Friday 06 September 24 19:03 BST (UK) »
I need some help finding info on my great-great-grandparents
They are Hugh Farrell (Circa 1857 - Oct 31 1912) & Anne Farrell (nee McGuinness) (Sep 10 1862 - Jan 27 1932)
They both got married on Oct 10 1886 in Drogheda, and had the following children:
Hugh Farrell Dec 24 1886 - Sep 9 1962. He married Mary Kate Tighe (May 1 1891 - Jan 30 1925) in Jan 4 1913 and Mary Bedford (June 1 1889 - May 16 1960) on June 27 1927
John Farrell July 10 1888 - Mar 3 1968. He married Elizabeth Carolan (Dec 31 1891 - Nov 11 1969) on Oct 1 1913
Patrick Farrell Jan 3 1891 - Nov 9 1956
James Farrell Nov 1892 - ????
Julie Anne Farrell Dec 24 1894 - Apr 21 1970. She married Joseph Rooney (Mar 10 1896 - ???)
Nicholas Farrell Nov 2 1896 - Jan 17 1972
Margaret Farrell July 10 1899 - July 24 1979. She married Patrick Reilly (Feb 23 1895 - Oct 8 1971) on Nov 8 1926
Richard Farrell Nov 8 1900 - ???
Christopher Farrell Dec 22 1902 - May 10 1952
They were all born and died in Drogheda, Co. Louth, Ireland
I am trying to find Hugh Farrell's parents/grandparents and brother & sisters. 1857 is birth by the age giving on his death recorded.
His marriage record says his father was Hugh Farrell so if any can help me

Just a few items for you to consider:-

When Hugh and Anne married in 1886, Hugh’s father was recorded as dead and a labourer
There are only 2 deaths for a Hugh Farrell in Drogheda, and one of those was for a baby.

It is probable therefore that this is Hugh Farrell senior
 Hugh Farrell (labourer of Chesters Lane) age 56 died in Sept 1877 Drogheda
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1877/020531/7204852.pdf

That puts his birth about 1821. Reporting his death was Margaret Farrell
Was Margaret his wife?

Margaret Farrell of Chesters Lane died in 1895. Born abt 1823 from her age at death.
