 Catherine’s death  Thomas’ Mother
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1883/02748/2009780.pdf

This is a marriage in 1864 for a James Cahill and Bridget Dunne, she was from Leugh.
Poss. she was Bridget Catherine, known as Catherine. Guessing, but the son John was present at both Catherine and James' death’s.

Hi Gerard & Margot and thank you both. It's great to get information from people who know. I will check out all your web suggestions. If you find any more info on the 10 children I'd be delighted!

Thanks again

Hi Eithne

This is Thomas Cahill’s birth record to James Cahill & Bridget Parkinson in 1864, Cottage Hill

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1864/03605/2329835.pdf

His brother John Cahill was present at his fathers death in College Hill / Sister Anne’s Marriage. Anne’s son James Hennessy is listed as nephew to Thomas Cahill on 1901 Census, Trinity St. Dublin.

John Cahill married Johanna Norton of Ballyspellan on 9th Feb. 1893.   John Cahill, wife Johanna & family, his mother Bridget Parkinson Cahill reside together at Ballycahill, 1901 census.   http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tipperary/Drom/Ballycahill/1714390/

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tipperary/Drom/Ballycahill/827460/ 

Bridget Parkinson Cahill died 2nd November 1909 (College Hill address used on Certificate) with son John listed as present. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1909/05443/4522896.pdf

Thomas Cahill brother James Cahill born May 1867.

There is a good possibility that this is James Cahill listed on the 1901 census in Little Longford St. Dublin, born in Co Tipperary, his marriage record lists his father as James Cahill a Farmer.        

You mentioned 10 siblings. Do you have names / approx. dates of birth?

Regards

First of all thank you the information you’ve given me.

For the family of James Cahill (b 1817?, died 21 May1888 age 71yrs) and Bridget Dunne (b 1829? died 02 Nov 1909 age 80yrs).

I have the following info for children born to the above James Cahill & Bridget Dunne

Michael Cahill    born 13 May 1865    in Leugh, Co Tipperary
Thomas Cahill    no Birth Cert (born 1866?) died 1933 in Dublin age 67yrs
Johanna Cahill    born 21 April 1867    in Leugh
James Cahill    born 13 October 1868    in Leugh
Anne Cahill    born 09 August1870    Married 25 February 1879!!! (something wrong somewhere!)
John Cahill    born 01 January 1875    in Loughmore, Co Tipperary (father ‘clerk of the chapel’). 
    I presume he’s a brother. Also a witness at Anne’s marriage.
Ellen Cahill who was a witness at Anne’s marriage, as well as a John Cahill, but I can find no info 
    on her. I presume she’s a sister?
I have no other children’s names that might help.

My mother told me that her father, Thomas Cahill (above), was one of 10 children.

Anne (Cahill) Hennessy had children, one of them, (Uncle) Frank, visited us in Dublin a few times and I knew his son, Patrick, who became a Dominican priest and his daughter, Peggy who married and lived in Scotland. 

There is another family connection, Commins, whose daughter (Angela), entered the St Louis order of nuns. I think another of her sisters also entered the same order and there was another sister in that family, Barbara, who married a Mr Shaw and lived in Dublin. They had a brother, Tom, who was Irish Ambassador to both Rome and the Holy See in the 1960s early 70s. Maybe there were more children, I don’t know.

My mother also mentioned Littleton, Co Tipperary. I think maybe in relation to the Commins family.

I don’t think Thomas’s father was in Little Longford Street, Dublin. If he was I’m sure my mother would have known, and she never mentioned it.

Also I don’t think James Cahill & Bridget Parkinson have anything to do with this family.  

Thanks again

Hi Eithne

Surprised you are discounting James Cahill and Bridget Parkinson as all records appear to point in that direction, Anne's marriage record in particular.

Attaching details of 11 children (includes birth record for 9 of them) of James Cahill & Bridget Parkinson. Birth records for Templemore commence in 1850 so earlier records not available.

Wasn't unusual for Marriage of individuals prior to birth of their sibling. Mary Cahill married in 1868, her sibling Edmond born in 1869. Included Mary as her grandchildren were mamed Angela / Kathleen / Barbara / Thomas.

Hi Gerard

Thank you for all that information. I'm delighted with it. It's amazing; looks like Bridget Parkinson is the one. It will take me a while to digest it all. I will be glued to the computer for a long time!

Thanks again
