Hi
I am looking for more info on the above two people who were from Tralee.
They were married on 5 March 1878 and had 15 children that I know of.
I can't find the birth of this particular Michael Ferriter. There are three possible ones to choose from.
I have found the birth of Ann Quirk on 8 Oct 1859, and I know her parents were Jeremiah Quirk and Helen (Ellen) Callaghan. Ellen's father was James Callaghan. No idea of Ellen's birth date or who her mother was.
On the 1901 census, Jeremiah Quirk (Ann's husband) is listed as a widower. He is living in Dawsons Lane, Tralee. I can't find Ann's death anywhere. Her last child is listed as being born in November 1900, so presumably she died between this date and the date of the census in 1901.
Thank you in advance for any help that I receive.

Just checking - Ann Quirk married Jeremiah Quirk? Yes?

It's a bit confusing. Title, and message, says Michael Ferriter married 1878 to Ann Quirk. Ann was born 1859 and her parents Jeremiah Quirk and Ellen/Helen Callaghan. Howeer, next part says "On the 1901 census, Jeremiah Quirk (Ann's husband) is listed as a widower. He is living in Dawsons Lane, Tralee. I can't find Ann's death anywhere. Her last child is listed as being born in November 1900, so presumably she died between this date and the date of the census in 1901."
Should that line read Michael Ferriter (Ann's husband)...?

In the 1911 Census Annie Ferriter aged 54 is living in House 64 Broguemakers Tralee Urban. Her husband Michael (and father probably) must have died since 1901 as she is listed as a widow with 5 children born and 5 living.

Hope this is of use

Yep, I've done it again. Sorry.
It doesn't matter how many times I read through these threads to make sure all the details are correct with what info I already have, I still manage to get it wrong.
Michael Ferriter did marry Ann Quirk in 1878 and I can't find either of their deaths.
Jeremiah Quirk was born about 1841 in Tralee and Ellen Callaghan was born in about 1845, also in Tralee.
Jeremiah did marry Helen Callaghan and I don't know when either of them died.
So what I'm trying to find is:
Birth of Michael Ferriter
Death of Michael Ferriter between 1901 and 1911.
Deaths of Jeremiah Quirk and Ellen Quirk (nee Callaghan).
Again I'm sorry for the confusion. There are so many Ferriters that my head is spinning trying to sort out who belongs to what generation, but I'm getting there.

Death of Michael Ferriter between 1901 and 1911.
Most likely one in civil index is Michael Ferriter age 53 (so born c1856) death July/Sept.1909 Tralee registration district volume 5 page 339.
Deaths of Jeremiah Quirk and Ellen Quirk (nee Callaghan).
Possibly Jeremiah Quirke age 79 (so born c1829) death Apr./June 1908 Tralee registration district volume 5 page 379
Added: here's the link to Jeremiah Quirke, etc. in 1901 census:

The 2 possible deaths were found in the civil registration index- I thought the link was posted earlier in this thread but here it is now and apologies for not giving it before.
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347
Brief explanation of how I found the records-
1) put Michael Ferriter in search box
2) when results came up selected Kerry (place) and 1900-1909 + 1910-1919 (date)
30 then checked the entries that were left looking for a Michael Ferriter old enough to be married in 1878 and that one happened to be in Tralee district which was the correct area.
-
Only one possible death for Ann Ferriter given in Irish civil registration index between 1911 and 1959
Quarter -Jan Mar 1930
Tralee registration district
Vol 5 page 389
However it may not be the correct Ann Ferriter as approximate birth is 1867
You can order certs fromwww.groireland.ie

Thanks for the info, I don't think it would be the right Ann either, as she would only have been about 11 when she got married and I can't imagine that happening.
I'll keep looking.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Nickie,
I'm new to the site and came across your link as I'm doing my only family research and we seem to be investigating the same people!
From what I've found using the internet:
Jeremiah Quirke and Ellen Callaghan were my great, great, great grandparents
Their daughter was Anne Quirke who married Michael Ferriter - my great, great grandparents (on the 1901 census living in Tralee with her father Jeremiah)
Their daughter Annie Ferriter married James Quirke (a possible first cousin :-\ ) who were my great grandparents (on the 1911 census living in Tralee).
Their son James Quirke (1916) married Mary Garlinge - my grandparents.
It would be great if you could let me know if you've managed to unearth any more details since your last link. I'm particularly looking for any details on my great grandfather James Quirke as I can't seem to find any information about him anywhere.
Thanks, Kathleen

Is it Anne Margaret Quirke born in 1890 that you are related to then? From what I've found out so far, she was one of 15. I haven't come across your James Quirke yet as I've been looking into the Ferriter family and their descendants from Anne's brother Jeremiah born in 1883.
What do you already know about them?

Hi,
Yes, I believe my great grandmother was born Anne Margaret Ferriter in Tralee on 17.06.1890
From www.irishgenealogy.ie I have also found that:
Anne Margaret Ferriter's mother, Anne Quirk(e) was born 08.10.1859. She married Michael Ferriter in Tralee on 05.03.1878.
Anne Quirke's parents were Jeremiah Quirk(e) (born c. 1841) and Helen (Ellen) Callaghan (born c. 1843).
Jeremiah and Ellen were married on 19.10.1858 in Tralee and from their wedding record, I know that his father was John Quirk(e) and her father was James Callaghan.
Regarding Michael Ferriter, all I know is that from his wedding record, his own father was also called Michael Ferriter.
Can you add any more to this?
Thanks, Kathleen

If you make another post I can pm you with what I know so far.
With regard to Michael Ferriter I think I'm at the same place as you - not knowing a lot about him. I've got two possible births but I'm at a loss at to which one is the right one.

Thanks!

Hi Nickie,
We were in touch many years ago as we were both chasing details regarding Michael Ferriter and Anne Quirke (my great, great grandparents). I have just started to pick this thread up again and I was wondering if you managed to get any more information on them?
I would love to hear from you.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas,
K

Merry Christmas.
I haven't looked at this part of the family for years, probably the last time was when we got in touch in the first place! As it's the holidays, I'll have another look to see what info I've got.
Regards

Dear Nickie and Kathleen
I am researching this family because of the Callaghan/O'Callaghan line.
I have pieced together quite a bit here:

See the pages on Quirk and Ferriter:
