My great grandmother Ellen Flannery is recorded as being the daughter of a Francis Flannery who was a shopkeeper on George St in the 1850's and 1860;s.
Although my grandmother moved to the UK , I married an Irish lady and so visit family regularly. Some info on either the Flannery's or the Cork man she married ..a Denis Ralleigh would be good for next years visits
Campbell:
Which town did the Flannerys live? There are many George St. locations in Irish cities. What year was Ellen born? Can you provide more information on Denis Raleigh? Year of birth, parents names etc. Thanks!

Hi
Welcome to IrelandXO
This is the link to Marriage of Denis Ralleigh & Ellen Flannery in Co Waterford. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1877/11145/8082107.pdf
He is listed as a Constable in RIC stationed at Glanmire Cork in 1877. RIC members were rarely stationed within their County of Birth at that time. His father also Denis Ralleigh was living at the time of the marriage, a farmer.
If RIC members married locally they were also moved to another County, appears daughter Mary was Born in Ennistymon, Co Clare on 12th July 1878. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1878/02949/2080346.pdf
The 1911 Census shows Denis Ralleigh, born in Co Offaly, Retired, now back in Georges St with his family who were born in Co Clare. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000522930/
A possibility in Queens Co / Co Offaly is Denis Ralleigh whose son James Married Catherine Dunne in 1882. Lived in Kilbride / Garryvacum area. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1882/10985/8016240.pdf

What we do know. Denis Ralleigh 1849 -1931 married Ellen Flannery 1859-1901 in St Patricks , Cork City 7/7/1877
Denis was R I C 1863-1895 and I have seen the Petty Sessions for Sixmilebridge and Ennis.
He turns up after retiring in the 1901 census as a vintner at 5 (or 6) Oliver Plunkett St and by then is a widower,where my granny Bridget
and the family live. We understand that playing the piano in the bar meant she met Charles Frederick Payne who she married later.
This is after serving in the First World war and it is rumoured that he was in Cork either at the Army and Navy Stores or the Cork Papers.
I hope it was this and not the Black and Tans....no reason to surmise this ,but need to find out more. Anyway ,when they left Ireland it was for good
and they married in1927 in West Ham UK.
Going backwards Denis's father is also Denis Ralleigh , Glanmire but can find nothing else.
Ellen's father, Francis Flannery is believed to be the shopkeeper in Churchtown Cork and there is only one Francis in the local 1866 and 1851 lists and that is on the old George St, rented from Sir Edward Tierney.
