Seeking descendants of Patrick & Catherine/Kate (nee Mahony) Kelleher. Residing at 83 irishtown when Catherine died in 1909 & on 1901 & 1911 Census returns. The family had a bakery business & known children were Thomas, born Fethard 1868, John DOB unclear, Mary, born Fethard 1871 & Bridget, born Clonmel 1874 (ages on Census are incorrect). On the 1911 Census there were grandchildren, Mary Kelleher aged 13 & Margaret Kelleher, aged 9.
In 1907 Thomas Kelleher was arrested for being drunk & the record states that his wife Bridget was living in New York. He is absent from the family home on the 1901 Census & I have been unable to locate him elsewhere, although part of the 1901 Census for Clonmel has not been digitised & is therefore not available on line. In 1911 Thomas is living with his siblings in Irishtown & whilst he is recorded as being married with three children his wife is not living with him. I bleieve that granchildren Mary & Margaret may be daughters of one of either the unmarried sisters..
Patrick Kelleher had a brother William who also had a bakery business in Clonmel & whom I believe may have held some council position within the town.
Any information with regard to descendants would be greatly appreciated.

I have since found out that Margaret & Mary were in fact Thomas Kelleher's daughters. Further research leads me to believe that MARGARET KELLEHER married WILLIAM O'DONOGHUE, a draper's assistan,t in Waterford Cathedral in 1929 & that they went on to have five children, Timothy M (1930), Philomena M (1932), Thomas (1934), William F (1935) & Margaret (1942). - See more at: http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland/waterford/message-board/margaret-kelleherodonoghue#sthash.wyj2bVU3.dpuf
MARY married JOHN LAURENCE GANNON/PFOUNDS GANNON in Clonmel in 1925. They had the following children in Clonmel:- Theresa Elizabeth (1926), Mary (1928), Magdalen A (1929), James J (1931) & Josephine (1933). - See more at: http://www.irelandxo.com/ireland/cork/cork-city/message-board/pfounds-g…
