the marriage record shows it as Stanton but on the bottom they showed Staunton and crossed through the U

Which marriage record is that Anne?

[abyrne]

yes Killeen Cemetery in Mayo

Sorry I tried to attach the record. It is the marriage of Mary Winifred to James Joseph 30 April 1923 but it is too large evidently

[abyrne]

the reference to Thomas O'Malley is probably not James Joseph O'Malley's brother Thomas as he would only have been 7 years old in 1904.

The 1881 census for 17 Sawney Pope St, Liverpool where John Devitt was the head shows Patrick Durkin age 16 born Ireland occupation Apprentice (Food Dlr)  and also Thomas Stanton aged 32 born Ireland  occupation Carter

They were both listed as servants of Devitt not relatives.

thanks for that Anne. Yes, you're right of course, Mary W is down as Stanton in the marriage records. Their 4 children were all Staunton! I'll give you my email by PM - would appreciate it if you could email that record that you have.

Well, well, well. I may have unearthed a connection between the Martin Durkan & Anne Staunton you referenced above.

I have a document written by a Staunton relative describing how the Staunton & O'Malleys (not yours) came to be. Although the O'Malley could well be related in some way to yours.

She writes:
"PATRICK (my grandfather) [Staunton] married Winifred Ruane & settled in with her Uncle Andy Ruane as they had eloped against my great grandmother's wishes & married.
ANNE [Patrick's sister] married a Durkan from Tallabawn. The family lives there now McDonalds".

Anne Staunton marrying Martin Durkan?

This one VERY complicated family!

Honor Durkin married James McDonnell of Tallavbaun (sp?) 5 May 1895.  Anne Staunton Durkin lived with them after Martin Died.    DED Owennadernaun
