UNION OF PATRICK DEVERY & MARY FLYNN abt 1860
Dear Sir/Madam,
I was hoping you may be able to help me locate further details on my great, great grandparents and hopefully their parents and children.
I have located a family tree on Ancestry that is my family, which shows the following, but no reference to where the information has come from.
Patrick Deveryas:
BirthAbout 1825inOffaly County, Ireland
DeathAbout 1905inKings County Ireland
and Mary Flynn as:
Birthabt 1831inFerbane, Offaly, Ireland
DeathinFerbane, Offaly, Ireland.
I have located on 'Ireland, Select births and Baptisms, 1620-1911 on-line database the following childrens births for Patrick Devery and Mary Flynn:
Catherine Devery; DOB - 23 Jul 1865; Birth Place - Ferbane, Kings, Ireland (F.K.I)
Bridget Devery (appears to be twin, same details as above)
James Devery: DOB - 31 Mar 1867: F.K.I
Ellen Devery: DOB - 4 Dec 1868:F.K.I
Lucy Devery: DOB - 8 May 1870:F.K.I
Kiran Devery;DOB - 11 Dec 1871;F.K.I
Eliza Devery; DOB - 26 Sep 1873;F.K.I
Sarah Devery; DOB - 20 Nov 1876; Endrim, Kings, Ireland. (the mothers name is shown as Mary Devery Flynn on this registration - so may be a different family)
I have located on the Australian Death Index the further following 3 children listed withPatrick Devery and Mary Flynn as their parents:
Martin Devery; DOB aboutt 1868;
Margaret Devery: DOB; about 1865 (I worked the DOB from the newspaper death notice)
Eugene Patrick Owen Devery (shown as just Owen on most documents in Australia) DOB - 4 May 1864 (this man is my great grandfather).
Martin, Margaret and Owen definately immigrated to Australia along withJames who I have also located on theAustralian Death Index.
I have no clue as to who Patrick Devery and Mary Flynns parents are or if there were any other children.
The family story goes that about 10 children left Ireland, half to Australia and the other half went to America.
Any information you can locate for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your kindness in viewing my request.
Kind Regards
Ann Lewis
