lopdell -McTigue

GalwayAthenry (Galway)

From Ross Miller

I would like to connect to anyone whi has Athenry Mctigue background. Am attempting to find out whatever I can about the unusual marriage of William Lopdell and Mary McTigue and their relationship with William jnr.....a Protestant marries Cathoilc - and vehement Protestant at that!

Mary was William's housekeeper

They married six years after William's jnr's birth ever I can about the unusual marriage of William Lopdell and Mary McTigue and their relationship with William jnr. What would life have been like fro Mary after the mariage - would she have been accepted into society ??????? Given that crusty olf William denied the existance of Mary and William jnr in his will, one wonders what the household daily life was like?

Dear Ross,

My name is Clare Horgan, I am a volunteer from the next parish Claregalway. I have done a little research on your query and wish to pass on some notes. I also made contact with people in Athenry and wish to share what I have. Do you have an email I can send the information directly to you?

Look forward to hearing from you!
