Hello,

I have a civil marriage record of Laurence Mullowney and Catherine Kenny, parish/district Tuam No. 1, address Carrantanlis.  Husband's father:  Thomas Mullowney, Wife's father:  Patrick Kenny.  They were married on March 2, 1867.  I believe that at least one of their daughters (Mary T. Mullowney, born about 1870)  emigrated to America around 1892 .  I think that this Mary married my great uncle in Salem, Mass.  Her marriage record in Salem (1896) gives her parents names (Lawrence M and Catherine Kenny).   (It seems that the other children in the family may have emigrated to Lancashire.)

I have searched for this place name and cannot find it.  Perhaps it was discontinued at some point!  I have also seen it spelled as Carrowntanlis on another person's family tree.

Could you please help me to find this place?  Thank you very much!

    The spelling is Carrowntanlis, a townland in Tuam civil parish. Carrowntanlis is southwest of Dunmore and northeast of Tuam right off of the N83. Use Google Maps to find the exact location.

  • Thank you so much for your reply!  I had looked on logainm more than once previously and it didn't come up at all for some reason.  Then, after I wrote the last note, I looked again and found it!  Perhaps the other site wasn't working for a while!

    Many thanks!!

  • hi,

    There was an Ellen Mullowney b.OCT 1873 to Lawrence Mullowny and Catherine Kenny.

    https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F5TP-FHR

    There is a Jameson family tree on ancestry that shows the following information.

    Mary Mullowny
    Birth 15 Jul 1870 in Carrowntanlis, Tuam, Galway, Ireland
    Parents: Laurence Maloney / Mullowney 1838 – 1915
    Catherine Kenny 1831 –  

    Thomas Mullowney
    Birth:  Dec 1871 - Galway, Ireland
    Death:  Jan 1948 - Leigh, Lancashire, England
    Parents: Laurence Maloney / Mullowney, Catherine Kenny

    The tree also has Ellen b.1873, and Patrick 1877-1957.

    This would be Patrick MALONEY in 1901, he is married with a son, and his parents are still alive.

    The Census states the father Lawrence is 50yo, he should be 62yo ??

    and the wife Catherine is 70yo, which is about right.

    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Galway/Carrowrevagh/Ca…

    They are the MOLONEYs by 1911, and the parents are still alive now aged 78y and 80y.
    http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Carrowrevagh/Ca…

    The Census shows there were 4 children born to the couple, all of whom are still living.

    There is a photo of Mary and Ellen together.

    I have sent a message to the owner of the ancestry tree to see if she would like to get in touch with you.

    Regards,

    SEAN
