Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

www.irishgenealogy.ie has copies of civil records online. I located the following records: 1911 census record for the family, the marriage record for Stephen Ruane and Mary Nevin in 1899 (names of fathers are listed on the record) the likely civil birth record for Stephen Ruane and the likely death record for the father of Stephen Ruane.

Hi Kevin,

Roger has given you the relevant records in line with my research. Believe your Grandfather Stephen (1868-) may have been an only child. Your greatgrandfather Stephen (1842-1912) may have remarried in 1876, Claregalway church record,  Havent been able to find a Civil record which would show if a widower.

If i am correct Stephen (1868) had a number of step brothers / sisters, some of whom emigrated to Waltham, Massachusetts to an Uncle Michael Ruane.

Regards

Gerard, Parish Liaison Lackagh

Good day

I have no information if Michael had any contact with his parents if they were still alive when he arrived in Austral;ia, or his sisters and brother,if they had ever married and had children.Looking bay it is quite sad that we as children never took time to enquire about any of his family. He had never went back, nor had the money to do so.After he died there was no letters of photo's relating to his earlier life. I am getting a bit old now but would like toget as much information for my family.
