Waterford / Re: Michael Mulcahy & Mary Cronican (1870's) Grange/Ballynamertinagh

Many thanks to you both for your replies and please accept my apologies for a the late acknowledgement.  I had seen some of these records but not all and as a result of what you have posted here and some follow on searching I have concluded that I am on the trail of the wrong Michael and Mary Mulcahy

I believe my ancestors are Michael and Mary recorded in the 1901 census as living in house no. 8 in Park Street, Midleton Co. Cork.  I am relatively sure this is the correct family. The reason I think that these are my ancestors is that Margaret Kilty also lived in Park Street at the time (with her grandparents) and Michael went on to marry her in 1905.  They are living in house no. 4 in Park Street in the 1911 census with their young family.  There is little knowledge I can find yet from current family members.

I have looked at all of the Michael Mulcahys that I can find in Midleton c. 1870 -1912 who had a wife called Mary in the search for my great grandparents.  I find three extra ones in the Midleton DED and none match very well.
There is a Michael Mulcahy and Mary Harvey, but they had 13 children between 1876 and 1896, lived variously in Free State Lane and the Cork Road.  They had children called Ellen (1881), Michael (1885) and Hanorah (1896) which loosely match up with the Park Street family but 10 kids are missing.

There is a Michael Mulcahy and Mary Hennessy in Dungourney he is a blacksmith and farmer with 11 children.  Including a son called Michael  And a third Michael Mulcahy and his wife Mary a labourer in Walshtown.  But they do not have a son called Michael.

As I searched further afield I found Michael Mulcahy in Ardmore and though I may be  onto the right line.

thank you again for your help.

I am seeking any help in researching my Great Grandparents, Michael Mulcahy & Mary Cronican of Grange/Ballynamertinagh  married in 1876.

Looking for any details of their ancestors, confirmation of children etc.

I believe they are the parents of my Grandfather, Michael and may have moved to Midleton, Co. Cork by 1885.

thanks in advance for any help.

Yes Dathai, I believe that is Frank (Francis) can you tell what company he is with? I suspect it should be the 10th, 43rd, or 49th Co RGA.

Thank You, I am a bit of a novice at genealogical research.

Dathai

It appears that he did.

I have his Royal Navy Service record.  He enlisted on 15 Nov 1896 and his character remained very good in his early years.  He received 56 days hard labour while on HMS Howe for being absent without leave. He served that time in Cork prison from Oct 20 1900 to 14 Dec 1900.

His service record went down hill thereafter and from 1903 onwards he spent several periods "in cells".  He was sentenced to 28 days Hard Labour in Feb 1907 for insubordination (HMS Commonwealth), a further 41 days hard labour July-Aug 1907 (HMS Mars / HMS Vivid I) for absence and refusal to do duty.  Finally he was sentenced to dismissal after 12 months hard labour, Sept 1909   (HMS Mars) , for absence without leave and striking  his superior officer.

May I add to this thread to seek information on my own Sigerson roots? 

My great, great, grandfather is Edward Sigerson, born c. 1841 in Kerry.  He is recorded as living in Portmagee in the 1901 Census and his occupation is given as a mason.

His son (my great, grandfather) Thomas, born 1878 in Ballinskelligs, joined the Royal Navy on November 15th 1896.  (2 of his brothers Edward & Richard also served in the Royal Navy) and married Bridget Buckley of Inch Co. Cork in 1900.   They lived in Gyleen/Glanturkin near Whitegate Co. Cork.  Thomas died in 1911.  Their son Patrick is my maternal grandfather.

I am seeking information on Edward, I believe his wife was Hanora.  I am seeking her maiden name and anything related to Edward's  or Hanora's life and ancestors.

thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

John
