Margaret Bolger
This is what I know about my great grandmother. My great grandmother was Margaret Bolger who was born on October 9, 1859 in Tullow parish in County Carlow. She married a John Hayes in Tullow around 1886 and he died in 1887. She also had a son named Matthew Hayes born on January 18, 1886. Somewhere between 1887 and 1902, she came to the United States with her son as she married Peter Cunningham, her 2nd husband in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Margaret’s parents were Matthew Bolger and Maria Murphy and I know nothing about them. I would like to find out more about the marriage to John Hayes as I have 3 different birth certificates for Margaret. It looks like the certificates are copies that my grandmother requested from Tullow parish during the 1930's. Here is the info from the birth certicates
Margaret born on April 4, 1863 daughter of Patrick Bolger and Mary Murphy certificate dated May 25, 1937
Margaret born on April 4, 1863 daughter of Matthew Bolger and Mary Murphy certificate dated March 31, 1936
Margaret born on October 9, 1859 daughter of Matthew Bolger and Maria Murphy certificate dated December 1,1933
Based on Marriage certificate for 2nd marriage here in US, she was 35 when she remarried in 1902, which means she was born about 1867
According to death certificate she is listed was 70 years old when she died in 1938 which puts her born around 1868 and death certificate list parents as Matthew Bolger and Mary Murphy
Hopefully marriage info to John Hayes might clear up actual birth date as well as correct parents.
