Hi Enfield, Many thanks for the info........I already have a picture of his grave stone in Durrow and in France.Duisans cemetery .......... But remember reading his death was accidental....so thats the next step in finding out what happened.

         once again.........Thank you

Hello there,
               I haven't found Mary on the 1911 census,I noticed a Mary lonergan in kilkenny age 17 domestic servant,but she was born in kilkenny,and too young.

I think you are correct with the marriage of Patrick and Mary in Abbeyleix 1918.

I vaguely remember my mother mentioning Mary (aunt maisie) as having the name Cullen,though how right that is i cant say,as my mother was quite ill by then,and tended to get things muddled.

I did wonder if Mary or Patrick had been married before,as son William was born 1914 and daughter Mary was born 1912, their next child was Margaret born 1918  and there were 5 more after ,including my mother Hester.
I can't imagine them waiting till 1918 to marry,maybe thats why i cant find Mary.Lonergan.I have tried putting in the name Cullen,but haven't found anything  .

           Still ,I must Thank you Shanew,as i beleive the marriage you found is correct,I take my hat off to you,it would have taken me a long time to find(if ever).
                                           T.

yes they are the correct family,
 I was checking my tree,it seems they had a child Mary in 1912 then son William 1914 and then Margaret 1918.
after those they had another 5 i beleive.It seems they weren't married untill their 3rd child,it seems hard to beleive as they were catholics so i would of thought it would be difficult way back then.

I have all the memorial cards for their children.

Hi Shane!
         I have found her on the 1911 census age 9,living in house 6,Durrow Town parks,her birth says Queens county
           

Many Thanks      
      I'm very slow at this,as you can probably tell
