Edward Somers 1856 - 1943   & Bridget Doud  1853 - 1935

I'm trying to find the parents of my Maternal Grandparents above.

Edward Somers was born in Roscommon 1856. He died in Hollygrove, Killeroran, Galway. 1943

Bridget was born in Galway  1853. She too died in Hollygrove Killeroran in 1935

They were both teachers- Edward was a Headmaster

I have the 1901 & 1911 census for  them, living with their family at Hollygrove Killeroran Galway

I really would like the BMD  details of Edward & Bridget's parents.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Tilly Budd

  • Hi Tilly

    There is a baptism record of Edward Somers 1856 Roscommon on www.rootsireland.ie/ 

    The record will have the parish and HOPEFULLY one or both parents' names

    The site requires credit to be purchased.

    There is also a record of Bridget Doud 1853 Galway

  • Thank you very much Col for pointing me in the right direction.

    I bought some credits on Rootsireland  & have now got the names of the parents of my Great Grandparents that I was seeking.

    Best wishes

  • Thank you very much Tom for your surprise helpful e-mail & attachment.

    Bill found Edward's parents for me on RootsIreland

    I did have the names of Edward  & Bridget's children.  I'm grateful for the names of Edward's siblings. I would love to know what Edward's parents & grandparents did for a living..

    My great aunt, Mary Eleanor Somers ,( Edward's eldest daughter) was a teacher/headmistress

    She taught in quite a few places in England

    She lived with my parents & us 5 kids in Burnage Manchester for a time after she was retired.She was known to us kids & our friends as Auntie

    One of her brothers lived in Chorlton Manchester, we don't know which one.

    .Her youngest brother, known to us as Ambrose died aged 16/18

    Thanks for info re husband/wife teacher team & them having a house
