Stafford are you sure about Mary's maiden name? Just going on the age of the oldest child Mary in 1901, this is the most likely marriage within a few years

I can't find any marriage of a Mary Stafford to Quinn in the records on Ancestry.
I assume you have Esther or one of the other children's birth certs confirming Mary's maiden name?

Edit sorry missed this one

The marriage cert should give you Mary's father's name if known.

Gritty Report 24 Sep 2014 19:51

Think this is the marriage:

18-Aug-1888
Parish / District: Ballyduff County: Co. Waterford

Name: John Quinn Ballinacourty Father: James
Spouse: Mary Stafford Ballenaronard Father: John
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Witness 1 John Flynn
Witness 2 Nanno Staford

Your Grandmother:
Esther Quin
Date of Baptism: 15-Apr-1903
Address: Ballynacourty
Father John, Mother Mary Stafford

Gritty

Gritty Report 25 Sep 2014 08:09

Possibly John's baptism (address place matches that on his Marriage above, and age near matches 1901 census)

John Quinn
Date of Batism: 01-Jun-1846
Address: Ballinacourty
County: Co. Waterford
Father: James Quin
Mother: Helen McGrath

Someone on Ancestry has John's death in 1901- this is incorrect as that John was a widower when he died.

Stafford
