Searching for Sarah McLoughlin Ne McMahon

Hi, Do you have birth certs for your mother's siblings? Is their mother called Sarah on any of them? If yes, perhaps Honora was a middle name or nickname, but Sarah was the given name. Just an idea.

Hi,

I know this is a long shot since you said that your family was from Newport...I take that to mean the Newport in Co. Mayo....but in the civil records there is a marriage record for a Michael McLoughlin and Nora McMahon on 30 Apr 1936 in the Church of Castleconnell, Limerick. Michael's father is John McLoughlin, a baker; and Nora's father is Patrick, a laborer. One of the witnesses is Kitty (Catherine) McMahon. Given that your grandparents named their two sons John and Padraig, and one of the daughter's Catherine; this could be the record you seek. You mention a bakery being connected to you...not sure of your meaning, but John McLoughlin was a baker.

Sorry I could not attach the marriage record, something went haywire! You can get it on the free site irishgenealogy.ie

Regards,

Another idea...does the cert say SARAH or NORAH?  

Hi Patricia, wow you guys are quick. Many thanks!

I don’t have any others, but it is definitely Sarah. I did think Nora and Sarah sound so alike maybe they wrote it wrong, but the lady below your reply did find the marriage certificate only 6 years before my moms birth so I’m wondering if maybe it was a relative who was young and pregnant and they took her as her own. Feeling a bit sad really. When you believe one thing to be true your whole life only to have doubt cast, bit unnerving. Going to keep researching.

Thank you for your replies, I appreciate it. ❤️

Hi Carolyn,

It is Newport, County Tipperary. 
I think you have found them!!

Married 1936, I visited right around 86 and it was their 50th Anniversary.

The three children being named after family is another check for me.

All I know about the bakery is it was somehow in my granddads family, so his dad John being a baker is also a green light.

However, the cherry you found was the witness.

I’m thinking maybe she was a sister to my grandmother, but not sure, BUT!!!

My mom’s name: Catherine Nickname was Kitty!!! Catherine “kitty” McLoughlin. It’s got to be them. 
 

I’ll try to find it on that site, and hopefully I can get a copy. 

Really appreciate you taking the time and the quick response. Doesn’t answer Sarah dilemma but absolutely thrilled to know the marriage certificate is out there. 
 

Many many thanks! ❤️🍀

Madjack,

Computer working better tonigiht....see the second entry on the page....usually a couple were married in the bride's parish. Not sure why there is no residence listed for her.

Regards,

Ahhh Carolyn, you’re the best!

Much appreciated ❤️
