Tracing ancestors of grandmothers - Hynes, Colohan and Flaherty (married to Silke's of East Cooleney)

GalwayKiltormer (Galway)

I would like to trace my ancestors: Grandmother, Mary Hynes (married to Patrick Silke); Great GMother, Anne Colohan (married to Thomas Silke) and Great Great GMother, Bridget Flaherty (married to Patrick Silke).  In particular I am interested in finding relatives of Mary Hynes who married my Grandfather, Patrick, in 1931.  (She died c.1940) I would also like to trace the brothers of my Great Grandfather Thomas Silke who were Lawrence and John, born in the 1860s;) Any information would be very much appreciated. Thank youMaria Silke

Hello Marie,

My name is Teresa from Clontuskert, Ireland Reaching Out.

I have passed on your request to some local people who remember your Grandfather, as well,  I have asked assistance

for further enquiry of a Clontuskert geneologist and hopefully,  we will be able to uncover some helpful information for you.

Best wishes,

Hi Teresa

 

Thank you for your message.  Sorry it has taken a while to reply.

 

I wondered if you have found any information on my family.  I have been in touch with the East Galway Heritage Centre who have provided some information.  I have dates of marriages and deaths of Patrick (my grandfather) and his father (Thomas).

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Regards

Maria
