Collins Condon Family

Hello,
I am looking for information on the family of Patrick Collins and Ellen Condon. They had a daughter Mary/Molly about 1915 in Kildorrery. Any leads would be appreciated as I am finding little information.
Thank you,
Jenn

  • I can see the marriage of Patrick & Ellen 1909 in Kilmallock district, but no sign that I could find of birth records for any children.

    The IrishGenealogy/GRO online records only cover births up to 1915, so if Mary/Molly was born after that she would not be included.

  • Yes, I can find the marriage record and a census form but nothing to show a child.

  • Hi Jenn

    I think I have traced your Molly Collins! I checked the Kildorrery records and cannot find any Mary/Molly Collins born around 1915. If the mother was in hospital at the time in Fermoy the baby may have been born there and may never be registered in Kildorrery. However I made some enquiries and am pretty sure I am on the right track. Can you send me some details and your email and I will contact you direct with information.

  • Wow! That's great! I have few details for Mary.
    *She lived aprox. 1915-1948.
    *Parents were Patrick Collins and Ellen (Condon). Ellen may be from Tully. Married 1909.
    *I don't know if she had siblings, my father doesn't remember any.
    *First child, James born 1938. Raised by Patrick and Ellen.
    *Married John/Jack Gallagher in early 1940's. Two children, Michael and a daughter that died at the age of 3. (predeceased her mother)
    *Mary died in 1948. She had severe respiratory problems.
    I have looked using the surnames Collins, Gallagher and Nagel and found nothing. The name Nagel has some connection to Mary but I haven't been able to get an explanation.

    Thank you for any help you can provide!

  • A heartfelt thank you to Brenda and Lena of Kildorrery! You not only solved the problems with finding my Grandmother but found my uncle. It was beyond kind of you to meet us yesterday and show us around. We never would have been reconnected with the family with your help.
