Help required - Maher/Malone

[Glinny]

I have recently been looking for Michael Maher and Mary Malone of Mullingar, Co Westmeath

According to the Baptism records NLI, they had 5 children- Margaret 1873, Patrick 1875, Thomas 1877, Teresa 1879 and Anne 1881.

According to Family Search, Margaret 1873,Patrick 1875, Teresa 1879. I can't find a record for Thomas or Anne, but found a record for Mary Maher 1869 (can't find this on NLI)

Does anyone have time to have a look at this for me as I feel I'm missing something.

I have checked the census for 1901/1911 and that just brings more confusion.

Thanks.

Some of my Mahers were often spelt...Meagher and Mayer ....worth a consideration.

Thomas Maher (1877) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGN1-NZY

Mary Maher (1869) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FRMD-XVR

Also a Christopher (1866) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FR3X-ZNB

Perhaps Annie was baptised soon after birth but died before her birth could be registered and the parents overlooked that. Have you searched for a death for her?

Thanks all.

Will look for a death record now. Thanks

Hi Dathai

Thanks for the links. I had already seen them, but realised some of the ages are way out. Eg. Christy is recorded as being 30 on both census. Not sure if it's the right family, hence trying to find a record for more children on NLI with Michael Maher and Mary Malone as parents.

Are you working back from this one

so would presume you got parents from marriage entry

Morning all
That Michael Maher is my husbands great grandfather, and he married Mary Gray in Taghmon.

And in turn, Michaels parents were John Maher and Rose Gilligan - pointed towards this by the kind people of rootschat. Baptism can be found on nil.ie, parish registers of Mullingar - 1873

The registers for Mullingar RC parish show a marriage on 31 July 1865 of  Michael Maher to Mary Malone (left page, 3rd entry up from bottom):

Maybe a possibility?
