Find Living Relatives

Looking for relatives of William Cleary who moved from County Mayo to Sale, Cheshire and married Rose Garvey. They had Billy, Paddy, Tommy, Winnie and Catherine, all born in Sale. Thanks

Dates are essential
Please also say what research you have done yourself

Looking at freebmd, it seems that the last of the children was born in 1926

Look for marriages etc using their correct birth names………not nicknames or diminutives.

As Karen has put Cleary family County Mayo surely it means she is looking for the Irish relatives :-S

Karen - have you tried looking for Irish records - which are known to be difficult.

The Cleary/Garvey marriage certificate should give you the name and occupation of William’s father. This could be vital information of finding the right family.

Why mention the English-born wife and children if they are not relevant to the enquiry?

The 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses are FREE TO ALL online

Spouse Rose Garvey
Father Patrick "Patt" Cleary
Mother Winefred Walsh
Children Catherine Anna
Birth 1 Dec 1881 Mayo, Ireland
Death Apr 1974 Manchester, Lancashire, England
Residence 31 Mar 1901 Cuilmore, Leitrim, Ireland

The above is from a tree on Ancestry, which is not entirely accurate, if 1939 Register has correct DoB. and Cuilmore is NOT in Leitrim

Another example of why people should be clear in what they are asking for and to add ALL the relative information.

A tree on Ancestry claims to have this family's details, but most of it is rubbish (The 'owner' is American)

As Karen is a daughter of Frank and Catherine, a lot of the info above must already be known to her. :-0 :-0

Thank you so much everyone. Some i did know, but there are things here i didnt. Much appreciated.

So my assumption that you wanted ENGLISH records was correct????

We don’t know that as Karen still hasn’t said whether she was after the English or Irish results that you found.

In my PM, I did ask her to clarify her request :-S :-S :-S :-S
