IRISH CAREY FAMILY.

Teresa With Irish Blood in Me Veins Report 25 Jul 2020 17:17

Trying to locate some CAREY cousins for my dear friend who is the Widow of 'Jack' Carey Born 22 Sep 1946 Cork. Jack Died 13 Jul 2016 in Plymouth Devon.

Death Certificate below gives his full name.

England and Wales, Death Index, 1989-2018
Name: Mr John Finbar Carey
Gender: Male
Age: 70
Birth Date: 22 Sep 1946
Last Residence: Plymouth, Devon, England
Postal Code District: PL9
Death Date: 13 Jul 2016

Jack's Parents were:

Christopher Carey Born 12 Dec 1909 Coom, Co. Limerick.
Died 1978 Plymouth.

Mother Mary Anne Lynch Born 5th Apr 1916 Douglas, Cork.
Died 2005 in Plymouth Devon .

Christopher Carey believed to be the eldest of 12 children,. some born or lived in either Co.Cork or Co Limerick.

Marriage 27 June 1942 at RC Church Douglas, Co. Cork
Christopher Carey Full Age, Bachelor, Naval Rating of Ballinreeshig.
Father John Carey, Labourer
Spouse: Mary Anne Lynch, Full age, Spinster Full Age, Housekeeper of Douglas W. Father John Lynch, Labourer.
Witts:. John Carey & Eva? Lynch. Don't know who they were!

That's all I can prove at the moment.

I've been able to trace some of the Lynch family which Jack's Widow has confirmed.

So I'm really looking for any of Jack's cousins to confirm his aunts and uncles names to pass on to Jack's Widow, and then to their 2 children and grandchildren.

Regards...Teresa

As with all such quests, look in ‘search all member trees’

This website has the 1901 and 1911 Irish census (all of Ireland)

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/

This is the only result with a Christopher of the right age but appears to be son of Wlliam and Mary

Address - Nelson Street Limerick No. 8 Urban Limerick . Have removed this from result below to show other information more clearly

I thought that was him too, on the census records, but wrong parents.

I've just spent the last few hours trawling through all the Carey names listed on the Ancestors Boards and it seems no one else seems to have much proof of their own Carey family.

''Search Trees'' doesn't have much either.
