Athlone/Mullingar

Hello

I am helping a cousin with her Westmeath ancestors. Her great grandfather was Patrick Creevy or Creevey, a shoemaker. Married in Mullingar 1876 to Sarah Brien and again in 1903 to Bridget Hand. Sarah may have died before the 1901 census. Children I know from his first marriage: Anne 1887, Patrick 1891, Sarah abt 1894 & Elizabeth or Lizzie 1895. Last 2 from 1911 census only when Patrick lived with his 2nd wife & family at Grove Street, Mullingar. Could you possibly look for him on the 1901 census please? Thank you. Cathy

Thank you very much. I think no 13 Grove Street may be  the family I am after. Bridget Hand at number 11 may be Patrick's future wife as her father was named James. Now I shall feel it's worthwhile planning a trip to London to find the 1901 census return on microfilm. Or I could just wait patiently for the NAI to put it online??!!

Hello Jack
I'm pushing my luck now. After your Info on the Creevy family was so helpful, could you please look for another person on the 1901 census in Mullingar and also the 1936 electors list.
Name: Thomas O'Brien or Brien, born abt 1884, father also Thomas. Thomas the younger married Anne or Annie in 1910. She was born in 1887. I have them on the 1911 census.
I know they lived in Mullingar after they married and had a daughter born in Patrick Street Mullingar in 1920.
Thank you for your help.
Cathy

Hello John
 I came across your message by accident and I think that my grandfather was a brother of Patrick. His name was Frank Melia and he lived at 10 Cathedral View. He died young aged 32 around early 1930,s I believe and left a widow Mary and three small children, one of whom was my mother who was then about 6 years. I remember Tommy Melia from when I was young, He used to cycle around town and collect for the football pools. Hope this is of some intrest to you.
