To many John O'Connors

[riannisuileabhain]

I cant seem to find a Johanna/Michael marriage either, John being illegitimate came to mind for me too.

[Just.me]

John's father was Patrick  Mother Johanna Patrick died young and John was the only child from thst marriage. Johanna Married Michael  in Castleconnell 1892. They went on to have 5 children. I can not post the links as on Roots Ireland but yes I am happy I have what I need now.  Again thanks for your your suggestions.

You must decide for yourself but if this is your family, it doesn’t seem right.

Those children have a mothers name O’Connor.

Where is John in 1901 when he would be quite young?

I just want you to find the right family. As you will know, we feel quite attached to John by now

I can see that Ballyvarra is close to Barringtonsbridge so that is good.

Could Johanna Supple (born Kerry) have been John’s older sister ?

I have now had confirmation from the Church that John O’Connor Mother was Johanna Walsh and father as I knew was Patrick O’Connor. They were from Townland Camp in Kerry.

I have found there marriage cert on Irishgeneaology and they married in Lissodige which is in Ballynahaglish Kerry, on 25th Feb 1879....

Debbie, I have been reading this over the last few days, so hoping that with the help you have been getting you would get the confirmation you need 

Have to say, I am now confused. The confirmation you got from the Church that John married at in 1919 was that his mother was a Johanna Walsh. The Johanna who married Michael Supple has the maiden name of Connors not Walsh  Son Stephen's birth reg in 1901 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1901/01959/1756267.pdf

Also, her age. In 1901, she is showing as c. 26 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Limerick/Ballyvarra/Clyduff_West/1493924/

I was just going to post my thought -

If the marriage is on Roots Ireland, it will be a parish record. I wonder if that has Johanna’s parents named?

[riannisuileabhain]

Checked the RI record, no parents or mention of Walsh, she is just called "Connors"

Thank you every one for all your replies. Also for being attached to John. Johanna Walsh married Patrick Connor/OConnor so her name was O'Connor/ Connor when she married Micheal roots records show her father as John same as it was when she married Patrick. My Grand father was born 1879 so would not expect him to be on the 1901 census as he would have been 22. Back in the day records of age were not recorded people lied I have all the records the information is as good as the informant. I have the paper trail and it all makes sense.. Appreciate all your help xx

Johanna’s age

1901 - 30yrs born abt 1871 (Michael 26 yrs)
1911 -  43 yrs born about 1868 ( Michael 45 yrs)

1948 death 82 yrs born abt 1866

Birth records for the Supple children would show Johanna’s birth name not her former married name.
