I am trying to get information on my grandfather and his family.
Justin Francis Huntley McCarthy, born on January 11 1874, Riverstown County Cork
Father John, mother Mary(born Murphy)
Have reached a dead end and would welcome any information.
Am visiting Ireland in sept 24 and would love to be able to have information
Thank you, in anticipation
Pam
Pam,
I read on a Genealogy.com blog that Justin married Kathleen Dillon in Dublin in 1898 and they shortly went to New Zealand. It looks like Justin later married Lottie Ethel May of New Zealand and they had at least two children Justin 1919 and Owen 1920. I will check on Ancestry.com to see if I can find out more info on Justin.

Could he have been born in Knockahorgan, Cork?

This could be the 1901 census record for the family http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cork/Rathcooney/Knocknahorgan/

Roger,
Thank you. The 1911 did not include the mother, Mary. I think she died in 1904.

I am still looking for the Justin's father, John's death record. He was not identified as deceased on Justin's marriage record in 1898. I am looking from 1881-1901.
Regards- Mary
Pam,
John might have died in 1895, age 70, in Riverstown. Witnessed by his son Florence.

Thank you, yes Justins 2nd wife Lottie is my grandmother...and they had 3 boys. Justin, Owen and my dad Arthur
I have no information on my great grandfather or grandmother..or even how Justin got to New Zealand...
I do know my grandfather had a brother named Owen Felix as he named one of his sons after him.
Thank you for your help
I hope the information Roger and I gave you connect the dots.
Regards- Mary
Pam,
Perhaps Kathleen Dillon's birth record

Maybe Owen Felix's birth record

Pam,
I think I identified the wrong Owen since he is supposed to be John and Mary's youngest son per this obituary?? He would be one of the oldest if the 1901 census is for the correct family.

Pam,
Birthdates are consistent with the 1901 census Roger provided.

Might support they are Owen's siblings and the obituary was incorrect. He wasn't the youngest.
Regards- Mary
Thank you for the information on Owen, it is wonderful.
Owen was the youngest son of 5 boys Catherine his sister was the youngest. She was born in 1876
