Mary Ann Tighe was born circa 1851 and later married Pat Rorke or Rourke whose parents were Michael Rourke and Bridget McCue. Mary Ann and Patrickmarried circa 1859 had several children Elleanor 1867 in Ballyfarnon, Michael 1873, Mary Ann died and Pat Rourke married Mary Ann Milmoe and went on to have Francis 1879, Catherine 1883, Elizabeth 1885 and Thomas 1885. I am searching for information on Mary Ann Tighe, where she was from, who her relations were and who her parents and siblings were.

Likely Mary Ann was born much earlier than 1851 if she was married in 1859. On the subscription site Roots Ireland I found nine baptismal records for children of Patrick Rourke/Rorke and Mary Ann Tighe. The family lived in Straduff townland in Kilmactranny civil parish.
The information in your note differs from the baptismal records unless I have the wrong family because Mary Ann was shown as the mother of all the children. NOTE I did not find a baptismal records for Thomas.
Bridget Rorke baptized February 13 1862 in Riverstown father Patrick mother Maria Tighe sponsors Laurence Tighe and Ellenora Tighe

I also found a March 13 1843 baptismal record in Riverstown for a Patrick O'Roark with father Michael Rourke mother Bridget McCue. Is this record too late for someone married around 1859.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Is this the Patrick Rorke Mary Milmoe marriage in 1875? I think this is a different couple.
