Mary Bermingham wife of James Greelish

GalwayDrumacoo (Galway)

Mary Bermingham wife of James Greelish.

Born in Island Eddy. County Galway

April 12 1836

Died April 16, 1889.

Aged 53 years 4 days.

This headstone is in St. Mary's Cemetery in Kansas City, Missoui.  

I found Mary working as a dressmaker in the 1886 City Directory.

 Also listed are Hannora Greellish, laundress, James Greelish, quarryman and Maggie, teacher.  They are all living together at 22 d nw corney Cherry.

I have also located James and Mary in the 1860 census in St. Louis Missouri with a daughter Mary age 11 months.

Hello Barbara, I am looking at older queries and hope you may have got some information by now, Islandeady is actually in Mayo geographically but in the diocese of Tuam which is in Galway but covers both county's in a religious division sense, unfortunately baptism records for that parish only commence in 1838, see https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1063

I did not see a Bermingham / Grealish marriage on Roots Ireland so maybe the married in the states. 

Please post again as we have more active volunteers now locally, also there are a number of private genealogy Facebook groups for Mayo and Galway.

Good Luck

Pat
