Thomas Wellington, b Borris, Thurles 1822/32, lived Templemore.
Married firstly to Bridget Cormack c1858-60, birth and marriage place unknown.
Children,  Mary 1860, John 1862, Daniel 1864, Patrick 1867 and Sarah 1870, all born Templemore.

Thomas remarried in 1876 to Mary Maher from Thurles. In 1901 and 1911 Census living in Mary Street, Templemore with wife Mary and nephew Peter who was born Birr Kings Co.

Thomas' first daughter Mary was married to my ggrandfather and I would like to discover a little more on her family if at all possible. Are any of these names in your family tree?

had a quick look for you, but all the children of both marriages seem to be coming up under the name Willington, rather than Wellington, just to clarify before looking further, thanks Ben

Thanks for your reply Ben.

The surname has been recorded as both Wellington and Willington but I'm tending to go with Wellington for the following reasons.

1901 Census has Wellington listed but signed as Willington by enumerator.
1911 Census has Wellington listed throughout.
All children born to Thomas and first wife Bridget have name recorded as Wellington.
Daughter Mary married in England (1886) and her maiden name is recorded as Wellington in the church register and marriage cert.
The name Wellington is recorded on Birth cert of above Mary's children, one who married in the States (1908) and  lists her mother's maiden name as Wellington on marriage record.

Also, I could not find any children born to Thomas and second wife Mary using either version of the surname and 1911 Census states they had no children. Can you tell me where you found children for this marriage?

Thanks very much Ben. Am going to contact Tipp Heritage Centre regarding the Bridget Brennan record- have found in the past that  occasionally a name has been entered incorrectly so perhaps this is the case for this record.
