My mother's family came from Ireland . She was orphaned at an early age and left me with very little info to allow me to find her family. All I've managed to find so far : Family name was Corry. Her mother May was one of three daughters(May, Ellen,Bridget and Dora Hope) born to Patrick Corry 1855 and his wife ?Supple in Ballinasloe Co Galway. I can't find anything about Patrick . His wife's father was Cornelius Supple who was married to Bridget ? with 5 children.
Be very grateful for some help

ther is a birth on Family Search

Linda...Which thread are you going to follow..? I suggest you follow this and delete the "Corry" one which is on TTF board as I have suppled most of the above info also...however RB has Births /Deaths...I'd not got around to that..!!

Eringobragh, I must admit I never looked on the TTF board, so it looks as if I have duplicated all your work.

Having said that if Linda had looked on the Irish 1901 and 1911 census she could have found it all herself as they were very easy to find.

Never mind I did learn something for myself in the process

Jennifer

Jennifer...I dont often look through this board but glad I did...!
Will need to wait until Linda picks up the responses on both threads before going any further though.....

I am so sorry. I have only just been in to look at the thread I started! Have had probs with comp etc. I am so grateful for all your responses. I don't think I made it clear initially that I had found some of the info ie the Irish census returns but was having difficulty tracing Patrick's parents and the name of his wife.
It is now 1am and really need to get to bed. Will read and completely digest what you have supplied tomorrow. I must also add that I am very new at this game and will have to work out how to delete the 'Corry' thread
Happy New Year
