Staunton

MayoKillala (Mayo)

My grandmother Mary Staunton was born in Carromore, Belmullet, County Mayo,  sept 1907.  Her parents are Anthony Staunton & Bridget McGuire.  I haven't any luck getting Anthony Staunton's parents.  I know he lived in Belmullet.  My grandmother lists him as her father and last residence on her passenger list sailing to NY.  
My Great grandmother Bridget McGuire parents, also lived in Belmullet.  Please any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Lynn O'Keefe

Your Anthony and Bridget had a child as early as 1901, so this Anthony would have been 18 then. Have a look at rootsireland; you should be able to find some records for your family.

Here are the 1901 and 1911 census records for Anthony Staunton and Bridget McGuire. They must have married in 1900 but I could not locate a civil or church marriage record. Bridget's mother Nora was living with them. From the 1911 census record, Anthony and Bridget were born around 1871-1872.

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and the closest Anthony Staunton baptismal record in Belmullet was October 13, 1867 with father Pat and mother Bridget Munnelly. 

There are five Bridget McGuire baptismal records in Belmullet from 1869-1874 on Roots Ireland. None show a mother with the name Honor, Honoria or Nora. The closest was an 1874 record The closest was a January 21, 1874 record in Carrowmore with father Pat and mother Anne McNally.

Let me know if you have any questions.
