Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 4 Send Message	I have tried this before but I think I did not put enough information on my post. I am looking for my gran aunt Mary Flaherty / Reilly. Mary was born in Galway on 3rd December 1899 to Michael Flaherty and Norah/Honor Mullins. Michael and Honor were Originally from the Aran Islands Co. Galway. Sometime between 1901 and 1906 Michael Flaherty died and Honor/Norah married Michael Reilly a shoe maker from Co. Clare. Michael Reillys father was Henry Reilly , a labourer from Co. Clare. Henry died sometime between 1897 and 1906. Mary is last listed as a 10yr old girl in the 1911 Irish Census. Although she was born Flaherty In this Census she is listed as Mary Reilly and I believe that she may have kept that surname. Honor/Norah and Michael Reilly had 3 other children, Christopher 1901-1992. Patrick 1913-1981 and Martin 1916-1983. Michael Reilly was also married twice before first in 1897 to Norah Harte and then to Mary Brennan in 1901. I have traced death record up to 1940 in Galway but to no avail. I have also spent a small fortune trying to locate her abroad but no joy there either. If anyone at all can help me I would be eternally grateful. I am just praying that another Genes reunited member may have this Mary in their tree. Thanks.
