Hi,
I am looking for information please on my Great Grandfather James Maher.
From what i can find he was born in 1891 to James and Mary in Tinahely in Wicklow.
He joined the Army and was stationed in Nenagh where he met my great grandmother Mary Hogan.
They married 16th January 1924 in Youghalarra Church and had 9 children including my grandmother in Newtown just outside Nenagh.
When i looked at James Mahers headstone it said he was born in 1901 which is 10 years after his stated age. His army record also says he was 21 http://census.militaryarchives.ie/pdf/Bushfield_Nenagh_Division_3_Southern_Command_Page_34.pdf
From talking to my mother James had at least 1 brother, Frederick b 1920.
I am trying to get to the bottom of James birth and who his parents are.
From searching around the area there is a James Maher born around 1901 in redbog in Carlow which is not too far from Tinahely I am wondering if i have the incorrect James in my list http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Carlow/Clonmore/Redbog/307940/
regards
Paul

He joined the Army and was stationed in Nenagh where he met great grandmother Mary Hogan.
They married 16th January 1924 in Youghalarra Church and you don't say Who he was son of....so I'm finding one with father Richard and another William as a result!

Armed with the information from 1911 you can now search for children if you want
-
You then get Mother's maiden name from them and can then look for that Marriage which gets their Parents etc....
-
Yes Malacky Hogan 1855 - 1936 was Mary Hogans father.
Thats is the marriage cert alright
Father on his Marriage Cert is Malick!!

Sorry if I have missed it but have you now definitely got James Maher’s birth and family?
-
Not sure as there was no comment on family found on Census Tullowbeg Street
-
No I have not found anything yet,
I was speaking to a person tonight who's Great Grandfather was James Maher from Redbog in Carlow.
We are matches on Ancestry DNA as a 4th cousin. But her James Maher was 1835 - 1910.
The James Maher that i though maybe my great grandfather is first cousin once-removed to her.
His father Richard was her granduncle in the 1911 census form from Redbog in Carlow.
I will keep searching an whittling down the results.
So i see in his marriage cert his father was James Maher also. That should help a bit.
My aunt just send me James brothers Martin Maher,Fred and Richard(Dick).

Hey Daithi,
I always thought that this family in Tinahely was my family. James Maher was down as born in 1891 but my g grandfather was born around 1901.

I am going to Tipperary this weekend.
I have gotten all the info i think oiut of my mother so its down to my aunts and uncles for more information.
My mother did tell me tonight that there was step children but who she didn't know.
-
I hope you can get the sibling names and years of birth. That would help.
The names you mention occur in the Redbog family but it is Frederick who is more difficult to trace.
It is no use speculating but perhaps Mary married after 1911 :-\

Hi Heywood,
Since my mother always told me the family were from Tinahely i found a Frederick Maher born in 1920
Frederick
Last name Maher
Registration year 1920
Registered quarter/year Apr - Jun 1920
Registration district Shillelagh
Volume 2
Page 9490
For as long as i can remember my mother told me James was born in Tinahely but the James Maher born in Tinahely does not match up with 10 years of a difference in dob.
I have had this merry go round for the past 10 years in finding out James Mahers actual place of birth/date of birth and family.
