Connolly/1870s Bantry
« on: Sunday 05 February 12 08:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,    a shot in the dark here!  Looking for a James Connolly in 1870s Bantry, he married in Cork City in 1880.
The record shows he lived in Bantry.  Thanks all for your interest.        John.

Hello,

Stating what records you already have would be helpful.  Year of birth, even an estimate, and whether Bantry is Bantry Town or union of Bantry.

You can check R.C. baptism records for Bantry and Muintervara online:

Hi Skibbgirl,  The info I have got is minimal, all I have is a Marriage record for James (G/Grandfather) Marrying Ann Hennesey in Cork (South Parish) ,the record shows James to reside at 4 Margeret Street the same address as Ann but gives James's Father ( also named James), residentia as Bantry. The Wedding was on 29/04/1880 and I could only guess at James's age of possibly 18/25?. His Father of course would be possibly 40/50?.  Thank you for your interest and help.     regards    John.

Well that's definitely some information to go on.  James, a son of a James.   Looks like the wedding is here:

Here is a James son of James from Bantry baptized in 1849, so he might have been a little older than what you are expecting...

Hi again Loudam,   Thanks for the info, it looks a good match date wise, but the one thing that throws me is that on the 'James Connolly's marriage record to Ann Hennesey (20/04/1880) who I know to be my Great Grandparents, it shows his father (James), has residing in Bantry? not South Parish.   Thanks     John.

John,

Then is the marriage record to Ann Paterson the correct one or not?

The marriage to Ann "Hennerty" might be "Hennefsy" (Hennessy) - you need to look at the image.
