Daly info

WestmeathClonfad (Westmeath)

I am researching my maternal line and seeking information on the children of Mary and Patrick Daly (farmer). Two sons, James and Joseph, emigrated to Australiai the 1870's and both death certificates list Tyrrellspass as place of birth.The mother Mary is listed as Mary Daly on both.There were lots of Dalys in that area so it is possible that also was her maiden name.
James was born in 1855- married in Australia for a 2nd time as he is listed as a widower on his marriage certificate.
Joseph was born in 1859.
I have many records of Dalys around Tyrrellspass/Rochfortbridge but can't find the births for either James or Joseph.
I know that father Patrick had a sister Rose who married Richard Power and emigrated to Canada. Any help is appreciated. Kate

Hi Kate

There is a record of the baptism of a James Daly with father Patrick in Westmeath 1854 on www.rootsireland.ie/

The parish is not Rochfortbridge but Devlin RC; father is Patrick but mother not Mary.

There is also a record of Joseph with father Patrick & mother Mary 1857 in Castletown Geoghan RC parish.

There is also a record of the marriage of Patrick Daly to a Mary in Westmeath in 1836.

I was too lazy to go through all the parishes a third time.

It costs to view the full record on rootsireland.ie but the marriage record will have the parish and Mary's klast name hopefully.

You could then search for other siblings of James & Joseph.

Thanks Col for all your trouble

I have purchased some of these records sometime ago from rootsireland but had not considered the Devlin record.

I will check again on the 1836 marriage as that would be timely.

I am hopeful that someone out there can link these 2 Daly families as I believe I have tracked down Mary's brother's line here in Australia, and I know I definitely descend from Patrick. 

What I do know is that the offspring of Mary and Patrick were together here in Australia in the !880's and even acted as witnesses in a marriage of the other line.

Thanks again

My great great grandparents are Richard Power & Rose Daly from Cloncrow, Newtown, Tyrellspass, Co. Westmeath, Ireland.  They had a daughter Teresa Power who married a Thomas Marshall, who had my grandfather Joseph Marshall, who in turn had a son, my Dad, Tony Marshall RIP 1996.
