Hi Ann

I'm looking in my newspapers for Mary Carroll Fethard. Not found her but found that Fethard is in Co. Tipperary. So maybe Lorraine is looking for Mary Carroll from Fethard, Co.Tipperary. What do you think?

Sorry if it really is Mary Carroll Fethard, Lorraine and Ann.

Off to see if I can see a Mary Carroll.

Edit. Found Miss Mary Carroll who is the niece of Martin John Carroll of Coolrus attending a church presentation in Michaelstown in 1862

Not much use really.. Hope someone can find them for your Lorraine.

Lorraine...What else do you know about Mary..you must have some other info.to lead you to Fethard

Hello Lorraine and welcome to the boards.

One of the best things you can do on this site is to put the name and details of the person you are researching into the Search Trees box (above in the dark green bar) to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree.

I think you will find that several members have Mary from Fethard in their tree so you can contact the tree owners. Enjoy! Cx

Hi Cynthia - so Fethard is the location!!!!

'Tis so Ann.

Have sent Lorraine one of my pm's but it hasn't been opened as yet.

Thank you! Yes it is Mary Carroll of Fethard, Co Tipperary. My mother who was Doris Harper (nee Haywood) was her grand daughter and knew that her mother's family came from Co. Tipperary. I got Fethard from the census and also that Joseph one of her children is listed as being born in Templemore, Co Tipperary. I have searched for Mary Carroll on other members trees but so far she's only listed with no one going any further back than her. Thanks everyone for any help!
Lorraine

Lorraine...What Census are you ref.to...Irish or UK..?
Is "Carroll" her maiden name ?
Can only work with info.you supply...

Sorry new to this. The UK census and Carroll is her maiden name. She married Joseph Tonks from Wednesbury.

Thank You...
Have you got her marriage cert...?
Would give you respective fathers names...

No I haven't. I could try to get it if it helps further.

Found This family in Fethard, Tipperary - ring any bells with you?

Suzanne

Thank you. Can't say if it rings any bells as I have no information on her unfortunately but this is a start!
Lorraine

Lorraine...The MC is essential to give info.as to who the fathers' were...do you know where/when they were married....

So far I have one of two marriages it could be on doing a search of BMD website. Either 1883 in Pembroke 11a 1522 or 1882 in West Bromwich 6b 1112, although I'm leaning more towards West Bromwich since that would be closer to Wednesbury - if they didn't marry in Ireland. Would sending off for that be essential then? As you can see I'm a novice!

Lorraine...We are all novices when starting off so thats no problem...just keep asking away....the more questions the better....!!!

What I would do first if you dont have an idea of where they married is to locate the family (for ref.) on the earliest Census in Wed....They are not on the 1881 but they are on 1891...I dont know if you can access that with your subs. to the site ..(I cant) but I am sure someone will do it for you if you ask...

The forst child I have located is Joannes born 1888 Wed. followed by Wm.1890 Kath. 1892 Martin 1893.
So you need to see if any children are listed as born earlier than Joannes ..and where....a case of trying to work out where they married by elimination....Does that make sense..??
Of course you have to take into consideration any earlier children may have died...

Ok thanks you I will give that a try!
Lorraine

Lorraine...I have had a quick scan through the Census Index 1891 and see there is a John b 1885 "Temple"..Ireland.....I take that to be Templemore...
This is followed by a Mary b 1887 Wed. so It may suggest the Marriage may well have been in Ireland....I havent been able to find one as yet but its early days..
