Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Sheila, good work in discovering that “Didacus Mac Connara”, age 35, of Friary Lane in Athlone in the 1911 census, was the same as “Michael McNamara”, age 25, of Multyfarnham in the 1901 census, both in County Westmeath. The two men are definitely one and the same. Sheila, I know you didn’t want ...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Sheila, Thank you for your feedback and also for pointing out that my explanation for the missing James McNamara baptism entry in 1875 was incorrect. I reviewed the Doora baptism register of 1861-1881 for any possible mistakes by the priest or unusual transcriptions without success. Andrew McNama...

Re: Information is wanted of Thomas McNamara, of Glandree,

Hi Sharon, Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Killuran cemeteries. Hi Sheila, Good news, I’ve determined the reason why so many “McNamara” civil death records in 1872 have been transcribed incorrectly as “McNalty”. Yesterday evening, I was in the mood to re-watch the greatest Irish movie of all...

So I searched just for “Michael” to determine that his civil death record was transcribed as “MNAMARA” in error. We know Denis McNamara died in 1871/1872 at the a...
