Hi Josephine,

Maybe you have searched the online census of 1911 already 

There is a reference to a Joseph  Fahey of Derrykeel ,Kilbeacanty ?He was single at that time.

Regarding Bridget do you know if she was from Kilbeacanty?If so do you know the townland ?Or where she was Married or buried?Or when she was born?

There are two references to Diviney's in the 1911 census 

one is for Drummin,Kilbeacanty

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Kilbeacanty/Dru… there is a 67 year old Bridget who is married to Martin 

the other is for Killerimple,Kilbeacanty

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Kilbeacanty/Kil…      no Bridget here  the only female listed is Honor Diviney aged 65.

There are Divineys living in the parish presently.

In Griffith's Valuation, this is only one Diviney listed in Co. Galway, Michael Diviney living in Beagh parish - very near to the parishes of Kilbeacanty and Peterswell. The name is very unusual so it's very likely there is a connection.

Anne,

Thanks for that information, can you give me a point of contact for the existing Divineys in the Parish?

Thanks again!

Hi Josephine,

I have made contact with one of the Divineys and will get back to you later.

Hi Josephine,

I have checked online baptism ,Birth ,marriage, death certs at www.rootsireland.ie

There is no marriage cert in Galway for Joseph Fahey and Bridget Diviney.Did they get married in Ireland?

There no birth certs/Baptism  for Edward Fahey in Ireland with father's first name Joseph.

Maybe he was born abroad.

Similarly the latest record for a May Fahey birth was 1865 which does not tie in with a woman dying in 1950's being her mother . There are records 90 Bridget Divineys born before 1905 in Galway.

Hi Josephine,

Have you got any further with this?Have you got any other information about them.We have searched US census and passenger lists  but we would need a little more information about them.Do you know if a James Diviney (went to the states 1920)has any connection with Bridget ?

Regards

Anne
