Hello

I have received the marriage certificate and this confirms that Timothy Twomey was Grandads father

Looking on the 1911 census there is only 1 of the 14 possibilities that fits so I'm going to try and expand on this

Timothy junior was 6 at the time of the census William was 5 Conelius (grandad) was 3 and the baby was Mary aged 1

Their mother was Kate

Any other details would be very gratefully received

Thank you malyon

I've sent for their marriage certificate ( should be with me in about 10 days) and hopefully then I'll have Cons fathers name. Michael or Denis let's hope.

Great to have these details

Thank again
Jo

Hello everyone who has replied to my post and thank you very much for all your tips and information.

I'm hoping to get a copy of my grandparent marriage and hopefully get Grandads parents names.

Researching Irish records from England is more difficult but since my mums passing I feel I want to know more about the history of my Irish roots

Thank you again

pm from Jo,

Thank you for your interest

I'm pretty sure the 1907 birth will be right as he died age 29 in around March time

I'd love to know his parents names but from England it seems quite difficult

Thank you

Jo

There appears to be 4 Twomey children with mmn Ring born between 1934-1937..
Dennis P 1934
Kathleen 1935
Norah 1936
Ellen 1937.....

Given that both Surnames are very common in the C.Cork it may not be Cornelius and Eileens' family only the Birth Certs. will confirm that or not.

Cornelius Twomey married Eileen Ring In Co.Cork marriage Registered Oct-Dec quarter 1933.
Joanne a copy of their Marriage Cert. will show respective fathers names and area where they were married.
Don't know if you are looking for ancestors or extended family who may still be in living in Ireland.

1911 Census shows only 3 of the rough age Con. would be.

Parents: Michael and Abina...Knockagroghera....aged 4

Parents: Dennis and Margaret Carhoo Lower....aged 4

Parents: John and Helena Commons Road...aged 1

My grandad died in 1937 aged 29

He married my Nanna and had 2 children at the time of his death aged 3and 18 months. His 3rd child was born after his death in July 37

His name was Cornelius Twomey and his children were Kathleen Noreen and Eileen.

He married Eileen Ring in 1933

As I have no-one now to ask as Mum died in 2014 age 80 I'm dearly hoping that someone may recognise the names and details here
