Ferdinand Hannify

Kenreb:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The only Raford townland in Co. Galway is in Kiltullagh civil parish which is to the northwest of Loughrea. The 1901 census did not show the Hannifys in Raford. I did find a 1901 census record for a Thomas Hannify and family with a one year old son named Ferdinand  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Raford/Gortahee…; They were living in Gortaheeran townland in Kiltullagh civil parish.I

I did find a Petty Sessions record for 1885 where Ferdinand was charged with being drunk in public.

I located the 1895 marriage record for Thomas Hannify and Bridget Fergus https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…; His father was shown as Fardy Hanniffy a deceased carpenter. Finally, I did locate Fardy's death record in 1895 and he was a widower

By all accounts Ferdinand and Catherine are my Great Great Great Great Grandparents. (Maternal)

Their son John, was my great great grandmothers father. 

John and  Ellen’s daughter Mary (Hanify spelling change) married Thomas Nangle. Their Daughter, Esther, was my great grandmother.

Esther’s daughter Kathleen is my mother’s mother.
