Looking for help on wife of John MALONEY - only have name Catherine BOLAND.
I am told he lived at Kisha, born 1844, died 1935 aged 91. They had children Mary (1885?) Richard k.a. Dick (1886/7?) Patrick k.a Paddy (1889?)and John k.a Jack (1895). 1901 Ireland census seems to have John (married) and 4 children at house 1, Racecourse, Kilscoran, Wexford, but no wife. 1911 census has John (widowed) with Patrick and Richard, so Catherine died between 1901 / 1911.
Mary married Thomas POWER, 1911 census for them has Mary Boland, Aunt-in-law, perhaps Catherine's sister? Richard married Hannah HANLON. Patrick did not marry but 'went to New York' (don't know if he stayed). John (John's youngest son) came to Maesteg and married Edith THOMAS in 1923. They went to Canada (Liverpool - Quebec) between 1929 / 1933 but settled in Maesteg after that.
Possible that John Maloney (1844) remarried Johanna HANLON (died 1939 aged 69) explaining Richard meeting her daughter Hannah?
John and Catherine's grandchildren include John, Patrick, Kathleen, Morgan John, Mary Catherine, James Patrick (born Ingersoll, Ontario), Sheila and Terry MALONEY, Patrick and John POWER. Some in Wexford still, some in South Wales, London or beyond. Marriages to ROCHE, CONNICK, CORISH, CORCORAN, WHITE may help.
Despite all this ... who was Catherine BOLAND?
