Hi Sean
I have some more information for you, My GG grandfather name was John O'Connell, he married Mary Collins, I don't have any dates of birth or date of marriage but I do have their childrens name and DOB's.
Mary b. 1861,
Patrick b. 1862,
John b. 1864,
William b. 1866,
Ellen b. 1868,
Ellen 1869,
Michael b. 1871,
Joanna b. 1872,
Daniel b. 1875,
Richard (my g grandfather) b. 1877,
and finally Mary b. 1889.
There are two Ellen's and two Mary's which make me think that mistakes may have been made, as this is someone elses research I will have to go back to the original records to find out for sure. One possibility is that my gg grandfather's son John b.1864 also married a lady called Mary and had a daughter called Mary in 1889, he would have been 25 yrs when this Mary was born. The second daughter Ellen may be named after the first if she died at infancy, this was quite common.
There is a grave in Murhur erected for John O'Connell, Kilbaha, d. 4th June 1925, his son Patrick d. 24th Sept 1955, His Son William d. 30th Nov. 1956. This headstone was erected by his daughtr Noreen is Boston, so I don't believe that this is the grave of my gg grandfather, I think it may be his son John b. 1864. I going out to Moyvane today to see the baptism records so hopefully that will shed more light on the matter.
I also visited Templeathea graveyard yesterday, there was only five O'Connell graves, three of them were erected by the same person, John Connell. The first was erected for Cornelius Connell, d. Mar 4th, 1809, aged 17, the second was erected for John Connell Sr. d. Apr 2nd, 1814, aged 64, an third was erected for Timothy Connell, d. Apr 14th 1814, aged 32.
I will give you details of the rest when I get time to go through them.
Regards
Paul
