Mary Farrell of Philadelphia?

[bullfrog1995]

Found this and can't find what date it is referring to:-    Think it is 25 years before 1959 would be = 1934 

Twenty-Five Years Ago
Lawrence E. Farrell, pastor emer- itus of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Church in Philadel- phia, died March 14

I don't remember there being a March 8th but I remember you saying the 14th. May 14, 1934 was the correct date.

Yes. thats correct. I checked back on reply 14 and 20. Was just asking if they confirmed the date 

[bullfrog1995]

Yup, they confirmed it.

Just received this link from someone re Catholic Priests. It may be worth a look but I think you probably have what you want now.
Sounds like a pay site in some respects but I have'nt had chance to look at it yet.

For help with your Catholic Priest, try this link:

There is a fee for family research, but there is also a good deal of general information available on the site.

My great-great-grandmother was Mary Farrell. She was born in Jun of 1862 in Pennsylvania. She married Thomas Timlin in 1883 in Philadelphia and together they had 9 kids. ... If you need the names of the kids I can provide them.

Do you have the marriage record? I have access to the marriage registers, so let me know if you'd like a look up. Depending upon the details provided in the marriage register, I may be able to find a record of birth for her as well. However, that can be trickier, as I suspect there will be many Farrells with a variety of spellings. Do you have Mary's death certificate? I can provide parents' names, date of birth, place of birth; the amount of detail varies by time frame and state. Philadelphia is an amazing city to research, one that many dread because it does have its challenges, but once you've gone cross-eyed reading films for hours, days at a time, it becomes a lot easier

PAHRC is a fee site if you want family research performed. However, there is quite a bit of information on the site, and there are links throughout it leading to additional free information. It's a valuable resource--without paying a dime -- when researching the Catholic church or members of it in Philadelphia and parts of the surrounding counties.

Hello Again LaurieA,

Many thanks again , as you can see I passed the informaion you gave. This is a youngster of 14 years old doing his family history.   As far as I can remember Bullfrog does not have the birth or marriage certificates for Mary Farrell and Thomas Timlin. The birth of Mary Farrell we had to work from the date given on the 1900 Census which was June 1862 and in 1900 the couple had been married for 17 years which gave us a marriage date of 1883. Some anc..try trees have the date of death as 1919 for Mary Timiin and 1945 for Thomas Timlin.
When Bullfrog discovered a brother Lawrence , I was able to match Mary and Lawrence to Patrick & Ellen Farrell, however because of a problem with the 1870 census - 2 enumerations we cannot be sure the separate entries we see for each individual member of the family or the full census 2nd enumeration are one and the same family.
We were lucky to find Father Lawrence (Holy Ghost Father) and a death date of March 14th 1934. Bullfrog now has some history on him, hopefully with more to come.
If you read through the thread, from a passport application made by Father Lawrence Farrell we discovered his father Patrick died in 1894. We have matched this with an entry for death of 27 Oct 1894 and a burial 31 Oct 1894 at Old cathedral Cemetery. The date of Patricks birth would be slightly out from the information on the 1880 Census. Clarification of that would be helpful.
Any information that you could give the young man would be more than appreciated.

Regards.

Sorry Again, Rootschat doesn't send me e-mails anymore...

PAHRC is where I got most of my information from. When I e-mailed webmaster@adphila.org they said it might be better if I e-mail PAHRC because they had more information. And they did! Someone sent the files over the internet.

I do not have the marriage certificate for Mary Farrell and Thomas Timlin, but I would love it. From what I know they were married in 1883 in St Charles Borromeo Roman Catholic Church. Those family trees with any information on Mary are from me.

I talked with someone who knew a lot of information on the Farrell side, and she said that Patrick Farrell was first married to a Catherine Fitzpatrick. She said Patrick and Catherine had two children John and Mary (our mary who later married Thomas Timlin)


It would be great to have her birth certificate as well to see if this information is true. I know her name was Mary Catherine Farrell and that is how it was spelt. I think she may have been born in 1861.

Yes, I do have Mary Farrell's death certificate. I got it from familysearch.org and it lists the parents as Patrick Farrell and Catherine Fitzpatrick. The name on the certificate is Mary Timlen but strangely enough, it says she is single

It has to be a mistake because I also found her obituary and it said Wife of Thomas Timlin and it was the same date of death.

dettori28 has all the information right above that may be helpful in finding anything. Please if you find anything, post it here, I'd really love it and hopefull you can find something

Thank you all so much,

Jeremiah

Perhaps Father Lawrence never mentioned his Mother on the passport application because she had died and Ellen was his step-mother.

Could really do with one of the birth certificates of Annie, William, Lawrence or Joseph to check the parents on those if you think John and Mary were the only 2 children born to Patrick and Catherine.
