Looking for help on wife of John MALONEY - only have name Catherine BOLAND.
I am told he lived at Kisha, born 1844, died 1935 aged 91. They had children Mary (1885?) Richard k.a. Dick (1886/7?) Patrick k.a Paddy (1889?)and John k.a Jack (1895). 1901 Ireland census seems to have John (married) and 4 children at house 1, Racecourse, Kilscoran, Wexford, but no wife. 1911 census has John (widowed) with Patrick and Richard, so Catherine died between 1901 / 1911.
Mary married Thomas POWER, 1911 census for them has Mary Boland, Aunt-in-law, perhaps Catherine's sister? Richard married Hannah HANLON. Patrick did not marry but 'went to New York' (don't know if he stayed). John (John's youngest son) came to Maesteg and married Edith THOMAS in 1923. They went to Canada (Liverpool - Quebec) between 1929 / 1933 but settled in Maesteg after that.
Possible that John Maloney (1844) remarried Johanna HANLON (died 1939 aged 69) explaining Richard meeting her daughter Hannah?
John and Catherine's grandchildren include John, Patrick, Kathleen, Morgan John, Mary Catherine, James Patrick (born Ingersoll, Ontario), Sheila and Terry MALONEY, Patrick and John POWER. Some in Wexford still, some in South Wales, London or beyond. Marriages to ROCHE, CONNICK, CORISH, CORCORAN, WHITE may help.
Despite all this ... who was Catherine BOLAND?

Maybe the place to start would be with a birth cert for one of the children... confirm mother's full name. After that the next step would be a search for the marriage.
I think Richard is the best bet - least common name in the family. There's a good potential match on the BMD Index as follows.
Name: Richard Maloney
Registration district: Wexford
Event type: Birth
Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1886
Volume: 4 / Page: 717
For notes on ordering a research birth cert see :
Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,599538.0.html)
Details included on a Birth Cert (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,433041.0.html)
Census returns for reference :
Maloney household - 1901 (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Kilscoran/Racecourse/1802254/) Maloney household - 1911 (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wexford/Kilscoran/Racecourse/693319/)

If those details confirm Catherine Boland as mother to Richard then there's this possible marriage around the right time :
Name: Catherine Boland
Registration district: Wexford
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Jan-Mar 1883
Volume: 4 / Page: 620
a John Malowney appears with the same references, so one of the names on the same page in the register and a possible bride to this Catherine. A cert would show further details of the marriage, such as their residences at the time, and details of their fathers etc.

Thanks Shane for these suggestions. Looked at the GRO Roscommon website - online ordering page was unavailable for few days, back now but it seems the price has just gone up to 20 euros plus postage! Do you know if this applies to research certificates too?

see the ordering certs from Roscommon topic I mentioned - still correct. You order by Post and once you provide the correct and full references research certs cost €4.

hello cath2006!
Yes, you are right. I'm married to your late uncle Terry's son, Chris! I have your name on my family tree doodles, but that is all! Are you on Ancestry, GenesReunited or Facebook? We could link up that way, or I can give you an e-mail address.
Thanks for getting in touch - I think I only met your dad (briefly) once, and spoke on the phone once. I hope we can help each other with family tree details!
Regards
Liz
