Find Ancestors

Hi this is my first post, i am looking for info on my mother Mary Maloney born 1948 (i think) deceased 1975 and my father William Sheehan born 1945(i think) they were both in an orphanage in Ireland, any help would be great thanks

Welcome to the boards Karen.

Just popped on to say.........you are not being ignored, it's just that at the moment, no information has been found. :-)

Thanks i'm just having a mooch around the site :-D

Karen

Do you know where in Ireland they were born/married and also where your mom died?

Hi no don't know where just says Eire, my mum died on the 25th October 1975 in hospital near Nuneaton, thanks

Is this their marriage??

Hi yes i found this was quite a surprise as my dad implied they were dragged to the church by the priest so i was surprised they were married just before my brother was born :-D

:-D :-D

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate then? That would (hopefully) give their fathers names and occupations....assuming they knew them,of course,since you say they were orphans.

Maureen

Hi yes i got a copy but was disappointed as there was no info so again a blank, got a bit disheartened but i'm back on the trail again :-D

I cant see your moms death record? Can you post the details, maybe Im not looking right

Edit: where have you got this info from:

Hi no don't know where just says Eire

Hi, i will go and look for it, we lived in Nuneaton but she died in a hospital outside of Nuneaton, can't remeber the name of the town

Hi the death certificate says Staffordshire and it was Mary Sheehan and had my dad's details on it as spouse

Just posting this in case the birth date helps:

Sorry-have to go out now.

I wonder how close to her actual birth date your Dad (if he was the informant) was??

I guess there aren't any Sheehans or Maloneys as witnesses to the marriage?

What was your Dad's middle name?

I'm not good at Irish genealogy,so I think I'll bow out while I can!!!

Good luck!


Maureen

Thanks for all your help, it didn't give any witness on marriage certificate, my dad's middle name was Dominic, many thanks again :-D

Karen...You may be able to find out info.relating to their respective Baptisms from the Marriage Reg.of the Church they were married in...(Will be on MC..)..check with the Church if they still have the Registers eg Baptismal /Marriage/Burial on site ...The Marriage Reg may also show where and when they were confirmed.

Thanks will give the church a call, think it might be the 1st as think it was 1948, everyone has been so helpful :-)

Karen Ive deleted the birth info as its recent

I'll send you a PM of the record so that you can order the cert
