I am researching my Fathers side of the family.  His mother Marie (Mary) Christine O'Toole was born in Saggart in 1879 and died in 1952 she married John Coady who was from Kilkenny he also died in 1952.   From what I have researched Marie's parents were Patrick O Toole  b. 1845 and Catherine Cullen 1848.  I then think that Catherine's parents were John Cullen and Margaret Norton

I have attached a picture of Mary and of her husband John Coady who was a painter by trade.  I have also attached a picture of a gravestone in Saggart.  As a child I used to visit family in Saggart I always remember they had a wire haired fox terrier this would have been circa 1965 they also had some of my Grandfaters equipment he used to make his own paints.

If anyone could help me find out anymore information on this side of the family it would be great.  As a family we are now spread wide and far, so I am trying to put everything together so that my Grandchildren know their roots.

    Residence is given as Saggart, date of birth as the 26th and godparents Thomas Byrne and Maria Fitzpatrick

  • a little earlier than I was expecting based on children found so far - a likely marriage for Patrick & Catherine in the same parish 28th May 1866, with witnesses Francis Waters and Bridget Toole. A civil marriage cert wold show a few additional details that could be useful - residences for the bride & groom, father's names and occupations, I'll have a look for the references on the BMD Index which you can use to orer a research cert.

  • a probable match for the marriage on the BMD Index :

    Name: Patrick Toole
    Year  1866
    Registration district: Celbridge
    Volume : 7 / Page : 451

    one of the other names with these references is a Catherine Callan so a possible cross-match.

    For notes on how to order a research cert see option 1 here on the Irish Genealogy website.

    Partial civil birth extracts for several children of Patrick and Catherine appear on FamilySearch - Mary 1877, Bridget 1872, James 1873, Ellen 1879 and an earlier Mary in 1868

    see : this link

    These often include parts of the reference number needed to order research certs - e.g the 555 included for Bridget which is the page number.

    Marriage referenes for the marriage of John Coady and Mary, in case you need reference for a cert :

    Marriage of John Coady and Mary O'Toole 19 July 1903
    Group Registration ID : 1982220
    Registration District : Dublin South
