Can anyone help me with Catherine OMalley (b1851/2/3 (or Peter or Charles) child of Bridget Walsh and John OMalley, please? They came from Islandeady, Co.Mayo. Catherine married Michael Mackin but that was in about 1875 when they had settled in Wolverhampton, Staffs.

Mayo ancestors show a Catherine Maley born 1852 father JM mother BW- not sure if they are the ones.

Hi,
My ancestor is Annie O Malley born 1851 in Islandeady, Mayo and her mother was Catherine Walsh.
There is a letter which reads to my dear sister from Bridget O Malley.
Could be the same woman? Catherine lived in Cheshire we think. Have you done your dna?

Hi. My cousin is OMalley from Islandeady and she lives in the family home. There was a programme on UK tv "Who do you think you are?" now on youtube, where Julie Walters, a famous British Actress traces her roots back to her mother's home, my cousins house.
If you are still looking for info I am happy to help if possible but watch the video on YouTube it is fabulous.

Thank you
I watched the Julie Walters episod, thanks for that. It's great information. The right resources and finances to do it really help to pinpoint these records and information.
We are still trying to pinpoint our ancestors in the area. Derrycourane, Islandeady is our ancestor Catherine Walshs area. Her illegitimate daughter Annie O' Malley born 1850 to a Charles O Malley is our mystery. Trying to find which O'Malleys. I know the answer is out there 😎

Hope you search is successful, I have sent your post to my cousins in Islandeady - OMalley, and if there is any further help I can give, I will. Good luck.

Also a photo of, who we think is Annie O Malley, probably an engagement photo in Philadelphia circa 1878..she married John Ryder of Castlebar
-
And a photo which reads ' To my dear sister Catherine Welsh from Bridget O Mally'
So Annie's aunt married an O Mally too.
The people in the photo are either Bridget and husband or Walsh parents?
Two lines of Malleys to investigate for living descendants.

Is this Annie?

Where does Philadelphia come into this?
-
Yes that's her! In a newspaper announcement for her marriage it says Annie O'Malley of Philadelphia so we don't know if she was raised there or moved there as an adult.
Her mother Catherine is with them in the UK census do did they both move to Chester after Annie's birth? So many questions before her marriage to John
-
We also think Cawleys were cousins as a letter to Annie reads ' Dear cousin' from a Cawley man in the US and her sons went out to an Anthony Cawley in Boston.
The Walsh connection perhaps?

AK101,
You might be interested in the location of Newtown in Castlebar from the MapGenie 25 Inch map recorded between 1897-1913, and where your ancestors lived. Pan to the right for the centre of Castlebar.
