Annie O'Malley from Mayo

Ok. I understand what you are saying.  I sent for her death record last month from the GRO.  they gave me  a date of Nov 7.  I'm not sure how long after that I will receive it

Well that's not long now - hope it's sooner rather than later.

Please keep us informed

Bridget O'Malley's  Certified copy of record of Death arrived. Very disappointing.  It doesn't give her date of birth, Parents names, or anything to help me search her further.  Only that she died of cancer County Asylum Winwick a widow of O'Malley.  They didn't even list O'Malley's first name. I don't know where to go from here.

English death certificates are very limited in information and as she died in hospital the informant was probably a hospital employee.

What are you now looking for? There is the probate which may have a bit of information - an address for Patrick etc.

Hi again.  The US death certificates give date of birth and parents names as well as where they were born.  I would like to be able to know her mother's name and when and where she was born. Because I would like to prove the connection between Bridget and Patrick Alfred Durkin. Patrick's census info says he was born in Ireland although he is already in Liverpool as a teenager apprentice 1881. He has James O'Malley nephew living with him on 1901 census. Patrick was the owner of the gravesite where Bridget was buried.  I believe he was her brother. But I do not have any actual record of that.  Ptarick's oldest son was Martin F. Durkin.   Bridget's Father was Martin Durcan/Durkan.  But there are a lot of Martin Durkans with daughters Bridget born approx 1864.

Do you know how I go about getting the probate record. I know what happened to all Bridget's daughters. But I do not know anyting about the sons except that my father met Thomas in Liverpool during WWII still running the butcher shop.

Look here http://www.ancestor-search.info/NAT-Probate.htm

Looks like you will have to apply to York. It may not help but it would be worth trying.

There is a Patrick Durkan born 1865, Louisburgh -parents Martin D and Ann Stanton. There are other births with these parents - Stanton/Staunton.

I can see a Patrick in 1881 but not 1891 - nor a marriage to Helen/Helena in Liverpool.
There is a record of the grant of his probate too in 1933.

I was hoping that he married in Liverpool and we could get his father's name

Between 1848 and 1864 i could find men named Martin Durcan/Durkan/ married women with names Mary Walsh, Catherine Durcan, Ciscilia Colman, Mgt. Jordan, Nancy Durkan,  Catherine Muldowny, Mary Foley, Bridget Devanny, Catherina Nolan, Brigid Nary, & Honor Kilbride in Mayo.

Buried in Killeen, there is a Martin Durkan that died 24th April 1893 at age 57 and his wife Annie who died Aug. 1904 at age 60 Years.  This may be the one you are referring to.

The transcription also says their daughter Annie died 3rd April 1942 (so she would have beeen born 1872) Aged 70 Years. & her husband Jim McDonnell died 14th July 1938 at age 71

I can't find reference to the daughter Annie's birth around 1872 to see if I could find her siblings.

I think Bridget was born 1964 based on her death record showing age 51 in 1915 and 1901 & 1911 census info.  However the Marriage record of Bridget to William Malley Feb 22 1883 said she was 24. 

I checked for a marriage of Patrick Durkin 1900 in Mayo just in case they were married there but nothing there either. He did name his first son born Sept 1900 Martin F.

Who are the other births to Martin D and Ann Stanton.
