If this page and readers is still active I can supply much information on Offaly/Birr Marks as my great-grandmother was the Annie Marks mentioned married to Michael Cleary.

There is now an updated (2020) headstone for James and Bridget Marks (1820 - 1900s) and three of their daughters - Agnes Mary, Annie and Bridget. Agnes Mary married Capt George Garrett, (buried in Drogheda), Annie is my Great-grandmother and Bridget married Joseph Bowes. There were no surviving male issue/descendants of James and Bridget that we know of. Until mid 2020 we did not realise that Agnes Mary Marks and Mary Walshe (daughter of Annie Cleary) were buried in this grave. New text replaced all the old text in 2020.

Tom,
I'd be most interested to hear from you as I suspect my Waterford Marks' are somehow linked to the Birr ones.

Hello Audrey,
I'd be delighted to explore any links. Basically there were lots of Marks families in Birr in the 1821 Census (NationalArchives). There sees to be two branches - our branch were all butchers and other descendants were in the Military. I haven't been able to trace any direct Marks descendants living from our line (lots of cousins from maternal lines) but there are Marks families _ James - living near Roscrea. I'm in touch with him from time to time. His father Paddy and grandfather were military. Paddy Marks wife was a Jane Price. If this sounds promising we can arrange direct email contact.

Just a note to "My luck" contributor. The Michael Cleary married to Annie Marks were my Great-grandparents and their son Michael was my grandfather. Agnes Mary Marks and Annie were sisters and their father was James, their mother Bridget Garrett.... not related to the George Garrett who married Agnes Mary (Molly)
