HI,
My ROCHE family are from FEAGH nr. TUAM.
My grandad married ELLEN WILLIAMS from FEAGH.
My grandads brother MARTIN, looks to have married a MARY KELLY from FEAGH - I got that from the census return where MARY has a son MARTIN ROCHE, but the father is not there during the census.
I found matching marriage records for the couple although the year is different by 1 year - I think this is an error in transcription
My g-grandfather married KATE QUINN and it looks as though they lived at BALLYNAKILLA, BALLYGLUNIN for a number of years before moving back to FEAGH.
I have managed to track my grandfathers other 3 siblings who went to New York.
-------------------------
However, in the 1901 census there was a KATE ROCHE living in FEAGH who was a widow with 6 children.
She is the one I am trying to identify, and find out who her husband was.
One of her daughters DELIA emigrated to New York in 1915, aged 22 - the record shows she was born in FEAGH.
But I can't find a birth record for her.
I can't find a marriage record for her mother c.1885 in TUAM, so I guess she was from somewhere else.
There is a birth record for a DELIA ROCHE who is my grand-aunt, she emigrated to NEW YORK in 1909.
All very confusing.
