Farrel and Mullooly

Kerry:

I found a civil death record transcription on the subscription site Roots Ireland for a John Mullooly who died at age 73 in 1869. The record was in the RC parish data for Rathcline parish. He lived in Formoyle. I also located an 1888 death record for a Bridget Mullooly in Formoyle with son Patrick as the informant. See fourth record.

Likely they were buried in Rathcline cemtery but there probably is no headstone unless Patrick or one of his children erected a headstone.

1901 census for Patrick and his family. His wife had died.

Hello Roer

Thank you.  This is a little gem.  I knew that John had died before 1875, as when his son James married Beatrice Maxwell here in Gisborne, New Zealand it said 'the son of the late John Mullooly'.  Have also been trying to find out for years, any information about Bridget, John's wife, have been wondering if she was his second wife?

Regards

Kerry Mullooly

The marriage records for Rathcline parish start in July 1840.  https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0177  We won't be able to determine if John was married twice since even the marriage to Bridget is not available.
