Informant for both deaths is not a relative - just someone who was informant for lots of deaths in the hospital.

Not certain there was a marriage Erika,but I have Michaels Birth record,& on it it has mothers maiden name of Downey.The death records could certainly be them.

Where did you find the middle name of Louise for Hannah?

It's not on Michael's birth record on irishgenealogy.ie.

WOW !!! I wasn't expecting all the brilliant info.Many,many thanks to everyone who posted.Much appreciated.

If the squiggles after the fathers' names on Patrick & Johanna's marriage record do mean "Deceased", I don't see the deaths.

The squiggles look a bit like "Wid", but a child's marriage record wouldn't mention the father's marital status.

I don't see the death of Michael Downey 1911-1913.

Patrick's father Edmund died between 1901 and 1911 - though I don't see his death record.
Nor can I see the death of Patrick's mother Mary at any time after 1911, when she was aged somewhere around 70-75-ish. (60 in 1901, 75 in 1911 per censuses)

THANK YOU.

Now looking at possible links to Edmund Fitzgibbon-a 'White Knight'?

THANK YOU everyone for all your help.

Re White Knights, for our reference:

As the last White Knight died in 1611, you'll have your work cut out to find any connection to Patrick, c300 years later!
