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.
