Hello Cath ,
I'm sorry for the delay with my reply, too busy getting data & notes organised.
Ballybeg is up north near Nenagh...where all the McCormacks are..

As for the Parkinson siblings (of Jane) -I found some births (either Parkinson or Perkisson), confirmed by presence of mother's name in Church records..so far the list is
Jane    b15.04.1856
James b22.07.1865
John -the alderman, already had unconfirmed year of birth 1866
Ellen     b28.02.1867
Thomas b19.09.1868
Patrick   b25.10.1870
Bridget m Harford,  already had unconfirmed year of birth 1873

There is a big gap 1856-65 which may or may not be filled by some names I found in a FT   Michael b 1858, John b18559, Bridget b1861, Johanna b1863. Maybe I just missed these

I also found James Parkinson and wife Mary Fogarty in the same parish....that may solve another outstanding problem as James is probably Patrick Parkinson's brother.

I would be grateful if you could help fill in that gap or lead me to a spelling that works.
Thank you, ozziek

Hi ozziek

There are a number of variations of the spelling for Parkinson most commonly Perkinson. the ones I think you have missed are because they have been spelt in the parish register as PERCSON strange but true. Try this spelling and you will find more.
John b.1859 is living in Dublin on the 1901 and 1911 census. Living with him are his nephews and nieces named Gleeson. Children of his oldest sister Mary b.1854 who I believe married James Gleeson in 1882.
Here is the list of children of  Patrick Parkinson and Mary Ann Connolly I have found.

Mary 12 August 1854
Jane 15 April 1856
Michael 16 January 1858
John 17 September 1859
Bridget 28 August 1861
Joanna 17 October 1863
James 16 July 1865
Ellen (1) 11 March 1867
Thomas 27 September 1868
Patrick 29 October 1870
Ellen (2) 25 February 1873

I think I have found Patrick Parkinson with Mary and their sons James and Patrick in the 1901 census. However Mary is 62 in this census which makes her date of birth 1839 which doesn't tally with the earlier info given.
Perhaps Patrick married another Mary when Mary Connolly died?

[momo22]

Patrick and Mary Parkinson are dead by 1911 and I have found possible deaths. If these are correct then Patrick was born C1828 and Mary C1830.
I know age info can be inaccurate in the census and I noticed that James and Patrick junior who are both alive in 1911 have 'moved' their ages.

Hello momo22,
I agree with you about some ages given in the census.
In the case of Mary Parkinson nee Connolly, the 1839 year of birth is more than likely incorrect as she would have been only 15 at the birth of her first child. In light of the furore over her 2nd daughter's marriage at 15, I believe the 1830 year is correct. Oh, if only those people filling in their census forms had considered us genealogists!

Hi momo22 and ozziek

I have Patrick Parkinson born 11 march 1827 at CLOHEYLE Loughmore. He died 1908 (Thurles registration district).
Mary Ann Connolly born 20 October 1830 Loughmore. She died 1910 (Thurles registration district).

The differences in ages in the census is also true of some burial inscriptions. It doesn't help finding the right people!

[momo22]

Yes, I saw the deaths in the Thurles district which related to Patrick and Mary which made me question the census info. Certainly they and their two sons were somewhat 'vague' on ages!

I haven't been able to locate Patrick and Mary's marriage despite find their children's baptisms.

Find my past has a lot of info on Patrick re dog licencing and what looks like minor disagreements with neighbours.

[momo22]

Cathgore-where did you get Patrick's birth/baptism from? I have looked at the Loughmore parish reg for that date and couldn't see it
