Flannery

JK:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

There were no Martin Flannery civil  birth records in the Ballina area from 1864-1876. I checked the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie

The closest record was in 1873 and below is the baptismal record from the subscription site Roots Ireland.

Do you know the parents names for your Martin J. Flannery?

JK:

Who did Martin J. Flannery marry?

Roger

JK:

Ann Keating. They were married in 1865 in Waterford. See below

You indicate that Martin had four siblings: Catherine, Mary, Thomas and Anthony. However, when I search the subscription site Roots Ireland, I see four different names for siblings:  Ann 1870 Patrick 1872 Michael 1875 Edward Dominic 1878  So there is a disconnect somewhere.

I was thinking that this Martin Flannery with parents Thomas Flannery and Bridget Kilgallon was much more likely as a match, as Ballina is mentioned in his records - I believe that the Martin Flanery born in Clonmel probably ended up in Yorkshire, England.

Martin married Anne Lydon at Onondaga, New York in 1912, and the record gives the parent names you mentioned.

There's an entry for him on the U.S., Social Security Applications Index which gives his date of birth as 13th December 1876 and place of birth as Ballina [Co.] Mayo, along with the matching parents names.

There's no sign of a record for Martin with these parents that I can see in Civil Birth or Catholic Baptism records, but I did locate a baptism of a brother Mich. Flanery 22nd September 1872 in Kilgarvan RC parish (3rd entry on the page). Kilgarvan parish is located immediately east of Ballina/Killmoremoy.

I found a number of Martin's sibling but not the record for Martin.:James and Mary (twins), Catherine, Anthony and John. Thse records were on the subscription site Roots Ireland. There records were transcribed as Flannelly which explains why Shane and I were unable to find the records.

I located a 1911 census record in the townland of Carrowcastle whihc is likely your ancestors. The surname was shown as Flannery.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Sallymount/Carrowcastle/701249/

I went back to the 1901 census and found a likely record for the family in Carrowcastle  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Sallymount/Carrowcastle/1573329/

The only problem is that the family had a six year old son Martin.   Wrong family or was this child actually a grandson or nephew??

JK:

I think this is Anthony's marriage record from 1916  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1917/09755/5540406.pdf  Note his wife Catherine Crean was from Bofield.  I did not see a good lead for John.
