Mullowney family Sligo / Tullylin - help requested
I am researching my family prior to a visit to Sligo (October 14 - 16). My great grandmother was Annie Mullowney (Maloney when she came to USA). The below is info I have collected and am fairly confident in its authenticity (realizing exact dates etc. may be off a bit)
Annie was born in 1865 in Tullylin and emigrated to USA in about 1890 and settled in Chicago. She married John Allen in 1890 in Chicago. John was from Limerick, I believe.
Her father was Martin (b. Abt 1830 and d, 1926 in Tullyin. Her mother was Abbie / Penelope / Nappy Howley b. abt. 1830 and died 1900 in Tullylin.
It appears that Annie had 5 full siblings and 3 half siblings:
- Thomas Mullowney. 1860
- Catherine Mullowney McKendry b. 1863 (died in Chicago)
- Patrick Mullowney b. 1868
- Martin Mullowney b. 1871
- Michael Mullowney b. 1874
- John Donnegan b. 1855 *
- Mark Donnegan b. 1856*
- Edward Donnegan b. 1858*
Their mother - Abbie / Penelope / Nappy Howley was married to a Patrick Donnegan until his death in 1858 at age 38. She then married Martin in 1860.
Would love to now learn the "soft stuff", visit the area where they lived, worshipped (Catholic), and are buried. Where did she emigrate from (Queenstown / Cobh?)...
Would be most grateful for any help.
