Thank you to those who have left me messages! Roger McDonnell and Bill Kenny!
I am still looking for a death certificate for Bartholomew Sharkey and/or Lizzie Letford Sharkey. I would think death records from around 1920's would now be available but I have yet to find them.
This couple were neighbors, as *Bill Kenny noted. They left Ireland and emigrated to Massachusetts where other family members who had emigrated earlier now lived. They married in 1880 in MA and, shortly after, returned to Ireland to settle back in Tonroe. I'd love to know if it was because they inherited property ("rental " property) from either Letfords or Sharkeys. I can't seem to figure out the location of the actual property Bartly and Lizzie lived in on the current maps and I can't figure out the family house numbers from old maps either. I haven't come across any information on Bartly or Lizzie from thier marriage in 1880 to the 1901 Irish Census. I cannot determine if they had children or not. I am assuming they had none, for no children's names are listed on either the 1901 or 1911 Irish census but they could possible have had some who had moved away. *Bill Kenny, by any chance have you photos of the neighborhood in which your ancestors lived? Or any stories from the Tonroe of the past?
Thank you !
