Descendants of Mary HANLEY

Second Generation

3. Mary CAREY / CAREW (Mary ) was born about 29 Apr 1851 in poss. Newtown, Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary and was christened 29 Apr 1851 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. She died prob bet 1901 and 1911.

Sponsors at Mary's baptism were Michael Carey and Margaret Hanley. Mary's surname appears as "Keary' in the baptismal register.

Mary married Thomas TREACY, son of John TREACY and Mary LOOBY (Caution: not verified), on 25 Feb 1873 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. Thomas was born poss abt 8 Nov 1821 in Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary and was christened poss 8 Nov 1821 in Solohead, Co. Tipperary. He died 24 Dec 1895 in Murgasty, Co. Tipperary.

Although it's known that Thomas was born in Soloheadbeg to a father named John Treacy and a a mother named Mary, we're unable to say for definite that he was a son of John Treacy and Mary Looby who married in February 1818. If he was indeed a son of John Treacy and Mary Looby, then he was born in November 1821 because a record of his baptism (on 8 November 1821) has been located (sponsors were John Hanley and Winifred Connors). Unfortunately this birth date doesn't tie in with the age given on his marriage certificate from February 1873, which looks like 37 (indicating he was born around 1835), but the age on the certificate is difficult to make out and could also be deciphered 50 or 51 (indicating he was born around 1822 - a nice fit with the baptismal certificate). However Thomas's death certificate from December 1895 gives his age at 54, indicating he was born around 1841.

It's known that our Thomas had a brother named Denis. Unfortunately no baptismal record for a Denis Treacy born in Soloheadbeg to a father named John and a  mother named Mary was located.

At the time of his marriage, in 1873, Thomas's occupation was a farmer (according to his marriage certificate). At the time of the birth of his son, Thomas, in 1881, he was the superintendant of a coal yard (according to the birth certificate), and at the time of his death in 1895, he was a labourer.

Interestingly, among the all the sponsors at the baptism of Thomas's and Mary's children, there's not a single Treacy; the sponsors are mostly Carews.

William Joseph MONAHAN was born 13 Jun 1886 in Co. Tipperary. He died 24 Nov 1918 in Co. Tipperary.

Does the fact that William was born in Co. Tipperary (according to the 1901 census) and the rest of his siblings were born in Co. Wexford mean that Sarah and Patrick lived in Co. Tipperary before moving to Duncannon? Is it possible that Patrick, a policeman, was transferred from Co. Tipperary to Duncannon, Co. Wexford?
