Find Ancestors

I would be grateful if you can find any information on the birth, marriage or death of Francis O'Hanlon and Mary Colmey. I have tried to search for them but with no luck.

Francis was married to Mary Colmey but I dont know her full details of birth or death etc. I am aware that Francis was born in March 1908, possibly in Dublin, Ireland.

Any information is very welcome.

Thank you.

Thanks so much for searching the information for me. I am curious about the website for familysearch as I couldnt find any search for the marriage of Francis and Mary as you said. Is the website correct?

Brilliant that you have found the birth records for Francis and Mary. Will order that.

Interesting about the census... I can see that the Colmey is a rare surname and so it may be difficult to track her down in the census..

I wonder if you know the death records for them?

Thanks once again.

Angela

Apologies, the following is now correct:
http://pilot.familyresearch.org/recordsearch/#=0
Hope you will now be able to access same.
Can see the following O'Hanlon births, with mother's maiden name Colmey:
1928 "Female"
1929 Gertrude
1930 Frances M
1932 James F
1935 Francis J
1936 John J
1937 Francis D

Irish online information goes only up to 1958. Chances are your Francis and Mary lived longer that. Do you have any reasonable idea about how old they were?

Regarding the 1911 Census, Cavan is not yet online, promised for mid-July, hopefully then will see the Colmey family.

Thanks so much for that. I have got the pilot familysearch website and so I can see that. I will find out about their death and how old they died etc... Will get back to you this evening.

Thanks again for your time in searching for this couple.

Angela

Thanks so much... I would like to know where I can order the irish certificates from? Would they be posted from Ireland or England?

We believe that Mary's death would be around 1939 when Francis was about three years old... They didnt grow old together unfortunately.

Francis was remarried to Rose Gorman.

Any information is welcome.

Thank you..

Angela

Firstly, I don't know how to order certs on line. Maybe some other kind member would answer you on that.

Death of Mary O'Hanlon
Yr.1939 Qtr.1 Vol.2 Page 245 Dublin Nth. (Age 28yrs)

Marriage of Francis O'Hanlon and Rosannah Gorman
Yr.1945 Qtr.1 Vol.2 Page 381 Dublin Nth

Both of these are on the pilot webset.

Mary O'Hanlon is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin 11:
Record No.414018
Grave No. DJ 237
Section: St Patrick's
Date of Death given as 23rd January 1939
Address 20 Prebend Street, Dublin

Her daughter, Rose O'Hanlon, age 15 yrs, is also buried in the same grave. Address also 20 Prebend Street
Date of Death: 28th December 1946
Record No.435917

No one else is buried in this grave.

1939 Electoral List is the only one currently online for Dublin.

www.dublinheritage.ie

Checked 20 Prebend Street, and find the names eligible for voting:
Bernard & Catherine O'Hanlon
Plus Francis & Mary

This info would have been collected during 1938, hence Mary's name still shown.

Wow. so much information to do some research. Thanks so much for searching them for me... There are some things I need to find out...
Interesting about Mary died at the age of 28 - so young eh! I wondered who Bernard's wife Catherine's surname was eh? How can I find out her maiden name was?

Thanks once again.

Marriage of Bernard O'Hanlon and Catherine O'Reilly
1926 Qtr.3 Vol.2 Page 279 Dublin North

Hi Kay thanks for searching for Bernard's marriage and his wife's maiden name. How do you do that? Which website did you look at?

Thanks Angela

Hi Angela - glad to be of help.

Bernard's marriage. On the pilot site, I looked for a marriage from the year he was 20 until the year 1939 when I saw him on the electoral list. Lucky enough there was only one marriage that could be him. You know you can only be 100% sure if you get the actual certificate.

Then I looked at O'Hanlon births in Dublin for the next ten years, and just blindly took a pencil note of the first ten maiden names shown. Didn't know if this would work, but thought it worthwhile trying.

Now we knew from the electoral list that her name was Catherine. So one by one I looked for a 1926 marriage of each of those maiden names. It worked, the marriage of Catherine O'Reilly matched with Bernard.

Good luck with your family search.

Thanks so much Kay. Wow that is amazing. Thanks.. We will look further into their families...

Thanks for your great help once again.
