Hi, all. I am researching my family, and there are loads of them and as usual more or less named the same as well 😕
I have Mary Reilly (Reilly spelt in so many ways as well making it awkward). She was born 6 June 1858, Dunmore, Galway, daughter of Peter and Julia Connell. Below is the record for her, I am no longer on Roots Ireland, something I had to give up given current circumstances financially.
She appears then on the 1911 Census in Ireland, along with her brother Patrick. Still in Dunmore. I am struggling to find her Death record, I have gone through Tuam and Galway records(16 records each) and most of the Mary Reilly are widows (assuming she never married, still single in 1911), I have been looking for Spinster. I did find one, but would like an opinion on it. It does state Housewife, even though I think she never married.
I am therefore assuming she is referred to Housewife, being living with her brother and his wife and family?
In brief, not sure if this her death I suspect so, I am not convinced she did marry, would appreciate feedback - thank you

According to her death record, this Mary Reilly lived in Poleredmond (sic) near Williamstown in Co Galway.
Here's the actual townland - Pollremon just to the west of Williamstown.
https://www.townlands.ie/galway/ballymoe/templetogher/templetogher/pollremon/
It's about 11 km NE of the townland of Dunmore (and Dunmore village).
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4136961#map=13/53.6498/-8.6509
So it's possible that this is your Mary Reilly - a spinster and housewife (or often termed housekeeper).
Have you found the death of her brother Patrick and where he lived at death?
1911 census at Dunmore
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Dunmore_South/Dunmore/475400/
-
And further to Kiltaglassan's post there is a Mary Reilly who is mentioned in Griffiths Valuation as leasing an area of land in Pollremon in 1856. There is a Martin Reilly who also leases land there.

I also think it would be a good idea to find Patrick's death and see where he was at death. Also to find Mary and Patrick in the 1901 census.
-
1901 - Mary at house 8. She is a shopkeeper
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Dunmore/Dunmore/1398777/
1901 Patrick with mother and siblings at house 9
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Dunmore/Dunmore/1398778/
-
This may be Patrick (unmarried with his mother in 1901). He is 40 and this ties in with his age in the 1911 census.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Dunmore/Dunmore/1398778/
Sort of snap with heywood.....Patrick has quite younf children in the 1911 census indicative of a second marriage or newly married first.

Patrick Reilly married Maggie Fleming on 21st September 1907 at Dunmore RC Church.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1907/10110/5678476.pdf
Both living at Clooneen townland.
https://www.townlands.ie/galway/dunmore/dunmore/dunmore-south/clooneen/
Four children born.

This is likely to be the death record of Margaret Reilly (widow) in 1945 at Clooneen. Her son Patrick was the informant.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1945/04622/4226651.pdf
So Patrick snr died before 1945.
-
This might be the death of Julia Reilly in 1908 aged 79. It was reported by the daughter Mary. At Clooneen. Big jump in age from 65 in 1901 census though. Also even though it has been logged as Reilly. I am wondering if it is Kiely as the capital K is a form that looks a bit like a capital R
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1908/05492/4538463.pdf
Peter Reilly and Julia Connell Reilly possibly have a number of children (from Family Search) Some have shifted to Ohio.
Catherine 1866
Peter 1868
Mary 1856
Charles 1858
Julia 1872
Thomas from census 19 so born 1882
Julia from census so born 1881
-
There is a published tree which has children of Peter and Julia Reilly in England before 1901.
The tree shows the wrong death for Julia - I agree with shanreagh re the 1908 death.
It also shows a death for Patrick for May 1929 which is wrong. That man is a bachelor.

Also agree with shanreagh - definitely an 'R' at the beginning of the surname. See the surname Ryan just a few entries above.
Patrick Reilly died at Clooneen in 1940 aged 86 yrs. His widow Margaret was the informant.

Thanks KG.
Margaret, Patrick’s wife, died 1945 - son Patrick, the informant.
So still no sign of Mary

1911 census at Dunmore
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Dunmore_South/Dunmore/475400/
I ignored this as I thought the place was wrong, but then I am not really good with Townlands as such. Maybe I need to go on a course or something as this is really difficult area for me

I think this Mary is one also on the 1901 Census and her name is spelt Mary D O Reially?

I already have this census
I am guessing she didnt marry, she lived with her brother and his wife, and from 1911 onwards, and I have no clue she obviously died ???

Yes indeed....it's at reply #9 :)
-
I think this Mary is one also on the 1901 Census and her name is spelt Mary D O Reially?
Is this the one you found?
House 6 in Polreamon (Templetogher, Galway)
O Reially Mary D 42

-
It is but the spelling and also the initial doe not add up?
-
You have Mary in 1901 and 1911 though.
-
It is but the spelling and also the initial doe not add up?
If you look closely at the initial after Mary, I think it's an 'A' rather than a 'D'. She may have been Mary Ann. The householder who filled in the form (Pearson) probably couldn't spell Reilly correctly and also maybe knew her as O'Reilly.
There were many spelling errors on the 1901 and 1911 Irish census forms and the transcribers for the online website spelled the names exactly as they were written.
-
Thank you
-
I am confused.
I thought your Mary is the shopkeeper living next door to her family in 1901.
Are you now looking at this lady with the Pearsons?
-
The Mary I have is on the census and living with her brother Patrick and his wife.
-
The Mary I have is on the census and living with her brother Patrick and his wife.
Yes that’s right. I thought that you had a different one now.
She is next door to Patrick, siblings, and her mother in 1901. What do you think?
-
I believe this is my Mary Reilly, what I cannot find is her Death, apart from the one I have uploaded
-
Might she have emigrated ?
-
It's possible but I don't have that access really. I have the cheapie access to ancestry 8) :D
-
You can see those records on Family Search and US censuses.
Did some of the family also go to England?
Another avenue might be family graves in Dunmore area?
-
I have found a website that lists graves in Galway, will take some time but will plough through those. Thank you for much for all your help
-
Just to clarify, the Parsons family are shown as Pearsons on the census. Catherine Reilly married Pat Parsons in 1887. The lady who died in 1928 Galway may have been Catherine’s sister, Mary born 1856 to Martin Reilly and Judy Roche. Most of the other Reilly’s in Pollremon became O’Reilly’s in Whitwick, Leicestershire.
