Find Ancestors

My Father was Christopher Daly baptised in Clara in 1914. His parents were Thomas Daly born c1874 and Mary Rickard C1875. From Clara Parish church i received information that they married 4July1896 and that Thomas daly's parents were Patrick Daly and Mary? and Mary Rickards parents were Thomas Rickard and Catherine ? I would like to try and find Mary and Catherine's maiden names.

Have you tried looking for both families on the 1901 & 1911 Irish census

You could also try Family Search site

Hi. Yes i have tried both but without success. I'm new to this.

As far as I am aware Catholic records are kept at the churches of origin and not published online have you established where the families were living ?

Marking the thread as answered will stop anyone else giving any suggestions. Suggest you take off the answered . :-D

Hi . Thanks for your interest. I believe they were from Erryarmstrong

I know this isn't what you are asking for, but this looks to be the couple in 1901, so here it is anyway:-

Wow thats a lot of info. Is there anywhere they would mention Catherine's parents or her maiden name? In the 1901 does it mention children they had and how many are alive?

It census says in1901 it lists 9 children at house 11 Fredrick st yet in 1911 it say they only have 5 children all living and this was 12 Fredrick st. Why would this be so.

I wonder????

"Ireland, Births and Baptisms, 1620-1881," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FPYW-D94 : accessed 11 Mar 2013), Thomas Daly, 07 Apr 1872.

The year of birth is diferent to my 1874 can This be explained. How do you go about confirming this to be able to say", ÿes,this is right.

Morning Bill...I wouldn't get hung up on dates at the moment they can vary a whole lot especially when being transcribed...Thomas had aged over night given he was 88 on 1911 census..original shows 38
Given that both the Rickards and Thom day had their place of Birth as the Co W.Meath (1901) then Kings Co. (Co Offaly) 1911 we need to be looking at both for a Patrick and Mary Daly parents of Thomas.

Thomas Daly and Mary Rickards MC/Church Registration may shed some light if we can find out who their sponsers were.

Bill ...I am beginning to wonder if Thomas Rickard snr. may have been married twice...once to a Mary Murray (Co Westmeath) then to a Catherine (Co Offaly)...there is a marriage of a Thomas Rickard to a Mary Murray and some births Co Westmeath .. eg Laurence....(another one in Tullamore Goal 1900 residence given as Clara). Could also account for them listing only 5 children in 1911...but anythings possible at the moment..!!

Laurence Rickard
Ireland, Prison Registers, 1790-1924
other 1900 Tullamore, Offaly (King'S), Ireland
birth: 1874 Castletown
residence: 1900 Clara

His earlier stint 1897 was for Assault...looks like it may have been on Cathe and Thomas Rickard..... both down as "Victims" on their repective entries..I dont have access to the Prison Registers to see if it gives more details about the Rickards and the Daly's

Bill ....You may as well delete the thread on Finding Living Relatives Board.

I suggested that Bill would probably reach a wider audience if he posted on this site... I for one rarely look at that board.

Hi Again. Thanks again for all you are doing. It takes avery nice personto spend the time on someone you don't know and i appreciate it.That Laurence Rickard seems to be around the same vintage as Mary Rickard's 1875.I don't really know what to do from here to confirm any of this.
