Hi Ballydw
Once again thankyou, But i do think you are onto something there.
Maybe Margaret Gibney was born in dublin not Meath.
I was looking at the irish census and seen a Margaret Mahon widow and place of birth was meath. I found her buried in glasnevin 1916, But as it turned out she had only one child Bridget and she was still living at the time of mother,s death. I did find George Mahon in the site irish genealogy. Thankyou
George was born in 1843 died in 1883
Matthew Mahon born 1869/70 died 1900. both died in dublin workhouse.
Both buried in Glasnevin.
Do you know how i could get there coroner,s report or medical records

Thankyou you are very kind searching for george Mahon .
I do have Matthew Mahon Birth certificate
Matthew was born in cole alley dublin in 1869.
Father George Mahon Mother Margaret Maiden Gibney. George was a Painter.
We Think Matthew had a sister Bridget. George was born in dublin 1843 died in dublin poor house in 1883 he is buried in glasnevin cemetery.

hi am trying to find a marriage cert for a george mahon born in dublin in 1843 .he married a margaret gibney from kells in meath. have there sons birth cert he was born in 1869 in cole alley dublin south. i have tried g.r.o but no luck there ?

I am looking for information on Thomas Rourke or O'rourke believed to have been born in Wicklow about 1859 (as per Census 1901).  He married Mary Byrne from Carlow and their first child John James was born in Co Carlow abt 1896.  The family then moved to Athy Co Kildare where the next 5 children were born :- James born abt 1900, Patrick born abt 1903, Hugh Francis born abt 1905, Elizabeth born abt 1907 and Michael Born abt 1910.
I believe Thomas to be my Great Grandfather.  Any information on any of the family would be greatly appreciated.
