Title: O'Connors in Dublin
Post by: erinnnnx on Sunday 29 April 18 16:24 BST (UK)
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find my Irish relatives from Dublin and am having trouble doing so. My great grandfather, Gerard Joseph Molloy, (b1912) had a sister called Jane Molloy, who married a man named Leo O'Connor. They married in 1931 and had two children together - Paddy/Paddy O'Connor (b1934) and Maura O'Connor (b1935). Does anyone know about either the Molloy's or the O'Connors? :)

Leo's father is James a ? Civil Servant
Leo's address is Richmond Cottages
so this looks like the family in 1911

I haven't found James and Bridget's marriage in the Civil registration but I think this might be it in the church register.
I was expecting something about Carlow where James is from but apart from the names being correct there is what looks like General P Office on one of the witness's as James worked in the post office I'm think this could be the correct marriage
