Dont know if you have this but 3 years later still no children ....Shown

I would suggest obtaining the marriage certificate to find her father's name.

You could search the 1901 Irish census (free):
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
There is one aged 19.

There are a few of her name here:
https://www.familysearch.org/

You may find some relatives here:

I cant find any banns

have got all of the children for Francis Williams and Mary Holohan. Want to trace back from Mary Holohan and her family .thanks Will have marriage certificate details later today with name and occupation of Mary,s Father Pam

Then we can see where he lived and whom he married ......

Come back when you have the name and we will happily help you
Good Luck

Mary Holohan,s Father was Michael and he was a Tailor Thanks Pam

"Mary Holohan,s Father was Michael and he was a Tailor "

- good :)

Have you tried searching for him and a related family in the Irish 1901 census (the link for which I gave you), or in the 1901 census in the UK?

And would you have a look, too, please, to see if you think the following could have some relevance:

http://www.genesreunited.co.nz/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/1290638

Well, the only birth registration in familysearch.org that I could see for a Mary with father Michael born about 1882 is 3 December 1880, Kildare: parents Michael and Kate Kenna Holohan. According to http://www.distancefromto.net/between/Kilkenny/Kildare
the distance between Kildare and Kilkenny is 37.71 miles. It could be right, sometimes geographical names are not always correct in census.

And perhaps you could kindly delete the newer thread about Mary's father? Thanks.

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:

One can purchase certs (or cheaper still, the uncertified images of the rego) via:
http://www.groireland.ie/

The Irish 1901/1911 censuses are free at:

You will need to get one of childrens Birth Certs first as there are the two Marraiges in the same year, both Michael and Bridget to get the mothers maiden name. I suspect though that it may be the one in the Reg. District of Callan.

Good luck,

Mary Holohan died in 1930 (married name Williams) and is registered in December Quarter of that year and she was 48 years old. I know that information is correct from her Grandaughter but unfortunately she does not know anymore abouit Michael Holohan and rest of family. Thanks Pam

Pam, information on a death certificate is only as accurate as the knowledge of the informant. The granddaughter perhaps was told that her grandmother was that age, and that age would agree with the census that has been quoted but ages in census vary.

Have you looked at the links to websites given to you to see if you can find Mary and her father in the earlier census?

Hi Pamela,
Are the people that i wrote here last night (Michael Holohan Tailor) in Kilkenny in 1901 and 1911 Irish census, not the right people????.

Betty.

As Mary would be about 19 in 1901 census this cant be the right family It is possible that she was not living with her Parents then. She was in Domestic service when she got married and may have been in 1901 so need to look somewhere else for her then. Thanks for everyone helping with this Pam

you already have a Holohan posting donlt you? I know I did some research on the family - really you should not have more than one posting per person/family - GR Rules
