Thomas loftus & Mary Egan Bonniconlon

[babykate]

Can anyone help with more info on a Thomas Loftus and Mary Egan possibly married 31march 1870 although this hasn’t been confirmed. They had 10 children Mary / Maria being the first 15 April 1871 and Michael being the last in 1890.


Mary Egan died sometime after Michael was born but before 1901 as her husband Thomas is listed as a widower in 1901 census.

So I’m really looking for their marrriage or birth certificates to try and work back a generation.

It helps if you post links to details you've already found to save us from looking for the same information.
Is this the family in 1901? Sin Michael 8 years old.

Can't see a possible death in Ballina district 1890-1901 so perhaps she died away from home and you might need to expand the search area if her death isn't found.

In the 1870 marriage, Mary Egan was residing in the townland of Castlerock.

On Thomas death record below - does it say he was an Army Pensioner?? I can’t make it out, if so how could I find out about his army record - I can’t find any trace of him in any records I’ve searched?

Yep, it says Army Pensioner. He's likely to have been in either the British Army or maybe the Irish Army.

Where and which records have you searched?

[babykate]

I’ve searched the military records on Irish genealogy, the Irish volunteer records, forces war records, ancestry and probably a few others. I can find a Thomas Loftus from the same area in the volunteers but his date of birth and parents don’t match . . . .
But I’ll keep looking.
