Mary Browne

TipperaryToomevara (Tipperary)

Mary Browne born 1847, Toomevara,- Father was Ned or Edward Browne and married a James Johnson in Clonmel Mother was a Honora(h) Mearaor possibly Maher even Mara

Any help with Edward and before that and Honora(h) Meara, Maher, Mara and father Mother of her line

Mary Browne marriage to James Johnson 1868https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1868/11469/8215770.pdf

Think they hailed from Toomevara but hard to go further back into Edward or Ned - and then Honora(h) with Meara liking ilike its right but sometimes coluld be spelt as Maher or even Mara

Any help appreciated

Hi Eliot . . . 

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . and to Tipperary Co. . . . 

I began my search . . with " Roots "  (paid) search engine  . . . for

Edward Browne . . .  Born . . . Tipperary  . . . circa 1810 - 1830 . . . 

and got two hits ( only) . . . as follows

______________________________________________________________________________

I then looked for the Birth of Honora . . Mara/O'Meara/Maher . . . circa. . . 1815 - 1835 born Tipperary . . 

12 Honora's show up . . . BUT . . none that fit neatly into Toomevara . . . or Clonmel  . . . 

___________________________________________________________________________________

Next I searched for a Wedding . . . circa . . . 1838 - 1848 . . . in ALL Ireland . . . 

the follwing showed up . . . in Co. LIMERICK

Church Marriage Record

Date of Marriage:03-Jul-1844  Parish / District:RATHKEALECounty:Co. Limerick     HusbandWifeName    :EdwardBrowne     HanoraSheedy      Address:Denomination:Roman CatholicRoman CatholicOccupation:Age:Status:Husband's FatherWife's FatherName:BrowneSheedyAddress:Denomination:Occupation:Husband's MotherWife's MotherName:Address:Denomination:Occupation:Witness 1Witness 2Name:HenrySheedy     MichaelSheedy

SO then . . . it would appear that . . . LIMERICK Co. . . . was the more likely place of Honora's Birth  

 

 so then I searched Limerick . . . and found the following . . . 

 

Name:Honora Mara       Date of Birth:

Date of Baptism:12-Oct-1817Address:?Parish/District:PALLASGREEN & TEMPLEBREDONGender:UnknownCountyCo. Limerick

Denomination:Roman Catholic
Father:John Mara      Mother:Ann Brien      Occupation:

That's the best I could do for you . . . I think it is most likely . . . that those are your pair . . . but who knows . . . 

 

Cheers . . . Eamonn.
