Thomas Greene
I am trying to find out information about my Great Grandfather Thomas Greene.
His son Francis (Frank )Greene (my Grandfather)was born in New York in 1885. His mother was Margaret Lynch.(related to the Lynches from Lynches Cross)
When he was about 10 years old both of Franks parents died and he and his sister Mary Jane Greene were returned to Clare to live with their Grandparents. Frank was sent to live with his paternal Grandfather Francis Greene who lived in Molosky near Mullach Clare. Mary was sent to her maternal Grandparents the Lynch's from Lynches Cross near Quilty. This fact is confirmed by the entries for them in the 1911 census showing them living with these families and being listed as American. Frank them lived the rest of his life in Mullach his sister however returned to New York in her late teens and was never herd of again.
However, and here is my problem, when I research the children of my Great great grandfather Francis Greene from Molosky and using the baptismal records from Mullach church no Thomas Greene is recorded! I am trying therefore to find out who this Thomas is! From Frank Greenes NewYork birth certificate it says that his father Thomas Greene was 26 years old when he was born which gives him a birth year of 1869 which would place him between two of the children of Francis Greener Cornelius(1868) and Mary (1870). Do you think his birth may have been registered at a different church? Any help with solving this mystery would be most appreciated!
