Looking for Parents of Patrick Delaney
« on: Monday 19 May 25 17:52 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for some help in identifying the parents of Patrick Delaney. He was married to Mary Walshe and had a son, John in 1871. Their address was Clonbane. John married Annie Glennon.

I find this all really confusing!

Originally I had thought Mary's maiden name was Whelan, mainly as that was what the record hints on Ancestry had suggested and also the names and seemingly the dates were correct.

However, looking at the address and also apparently a Mary Whelan and Patrick Delaney were married in Portarlington and it wasn't likely that they would have had a child in 1871? The dates aligned more and the address and also the names, as I think Patrick and Mary had a son called Michael as did John. The address being Clonbane made more sense.

Here is Michael’s birth - Clonbane 1873 - mother Mary Walsh

It might be that John’s birth is omitted from civil records for some reason.
