Ive just discovered that my grandfather sold a farm in Toomore before buying another farm in Batterstown County Meath. Looking for my grandfather's birth and his parents, my great grandparents called Patrick O'Malley & Bridget Walsh. My grandfather Patrick O'Malley married Honoria King in 1908 in Killasser. Can anybody help please?

I will try to reconstruct my reply.
When Patrick and Honoria married in 1908 they both were living in Cullionaghtan townland in Killasser civil parish. See links to 1901 census for both families in Cullionaghtan.

see eighth record for 1881 birth record for Honor King https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…
see second record for 1872 birth record for Pat Mally https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_retur…
In 1872 Patrick Malley and Bridget Walsh were living in Aghaward townland in Toomore civil parish.
RC records for Toomore/Foxford parish start in 1870/1871 so no marriage record for Patrick and Bridget will be available.
Henry King and Mary Durcan married on March 18 1859 in Killasser RC church.

Hi Roger
Thank you for all this information. Found quite a few of the Bridget Walsh children, but not Winifred or Margaret who were aunts of my mother who emigrated to the USA. Any idea of Patrick & Bridget’s parents?

Gerri:
Records for Toomore parish are not available. Also, if they were from another parish, there would be many Patrick Malley and Bridget Walsh records so we would not know the correct record.
