I'm interested in my mother's family ancestory so that I can start a tree for that side.

Mum was Mary Geraghty from "Coolree", Robertstown. She left there when she was 17 and travelled to Scotland.

Her other siblings were Nellie (Kelly), Kathy, Philomena, Tesse (Divine), Bridgitte, Paddy and Jimmy (deceased).

Her mother was Ellen Geraghty and I can't rmember my grandfather's name.

Can you help me with some leads and information please.

  • Hi ColCaff, my mother, Mary Geraghty was born May 13, 1917. I'll need to get back to you soon with my grandmother's dates.

    Cheers for now and thank you for your interest.

  • Hi Marie,

    No luck on rootsireland I'm afraid.

    I searched births/baptisms Mary Geraghty mother Ellen Kildare 1917 + / - 5 but got no matches.

    I got a match for a Mary Garrity born 1917 mother Ellen in Tyrone! There's no Coolree or Robertstown parishes there though.

  • Hi Marie T

    I am the granddaughter of Theresa Devine your mam's sister which makes me your second cousin I think, not sure on that but I think I may be right on it, the information you have surrounding you grandmother and your mam's siblings are correct, as you didn't know your grandfather's name I can tell you its Thomas Geraghty and his parents are James and Mary and he also had a brother Michael and a sister Mary Anne, I got this information from the 1911 census and from the headstone on the family plot where they are buried along with some of your mam's siblings which include Paddy, James, Philomena and just March of last year my grandmother Theresa Devine, she is the last sibling to have passed away I have other information which I will share with you if you wish my maiden was Higgins as my mum is Catherine Higgins nee Devine as Theresa Devine was her mother

    Yours sincerely
