Patrick Wade/Mary Cantrell

Hello, I would appreciate some assistance in locating my great, great grandparents who migrated from Ireland to USA via New York City.  They eventually became farmers in Mississippi.

I have researched many resources and have found Patrick Wade was a common name for immigrants at the time of my grandparents immgrants.  My USA ancestors wrote that Patrick and Mary married in Ireland and came to the USA together.  I cannot confirm that on passenger lists.

Here is information that I have found:

*Patrick Wade   Baptism Record for 23 Feb 1840  (Census and tombstone in Mississippi indicate born in 1840); parents Thomas Wade and Mary McHugh; Parsh Abbey Knockmoy in County Galway

#Griffiths Valuation: Mary Wade & Patrick Wade in Kilmurry

*Griffiths Valuation:  Mary Wade  & Patrick Wade in Mullaghadrum, Annaghdown, Galway

*Griffiths Valuation. Thomas Wade & Patrick Wade in Stockhole,

I would appreciate any help someone could give me in identifying MY Patrick and Mary Wade.  I would love to get their marriage record.   They were Catholic.

My sisters ,their spouses, my nieces and I visited Ireland several years ago.  It was a fabulous trip.  We just wish we had know where our ancestors originated.  I have a picture to post once I know where I should post it.

We will greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I was not able to locate the marriage record and my guess is that they were married in America. Cantrell was not a surname found in Galway.

The Griffiths Valuation was conducted in Co. Galway 1854-1855. A 15 year old would not have been a head of household. Also, if the husband was the lease holder then the wife would not be listed on the Griffiths.

The Patrick in Abbeyknockmoy had at least three siblings: Mary 1830 James 1843 Thomas 1844. I would assume there were other children between 1830 and 1840. The baptismal record for Thomas showed the family lived in brierfield which is in the neighboring parish of Moylough.

Let me know if you have any questions.
