Mary Hourihane

Tullig Man:

The free site www.irishgenealogy.ie has a February 8 1853 marriage at Caheragh parish for Timothy Donovan and Mary Hourihan. Witnesses were Ellen Hourihan and Bat Hourihan.

I located three 1829 baptismal records for a Mary Hourihan in Caheragh. Possibly one of the three records is for your ancestor.

Tullig Man:

My maternal grandmother, Mary Hourihan (Hourihane on some records) had parents Timothy Patrick Hourihan and Hannah Donoghue.  Timothy was a tailor. Timothy Patrick Hourihane was born 1872.  His parents were Timothy Patrick Hourihane and Anne Kelly.  This Timothy was also a tailor and was nicknamed Thad.  He was born about 1835.  I believe Timothy's parents were Patrick Hourihan and Mary Ninane. They would be my great-great-great grandparents.  Their children were named:  Patrick, John, Katherine, Julia, Mary, Timothy, and Jeremiah.
