I noticed you have Mary Mulkeen Hunt death in 1931. I found a death record on Irishgenealogy (free) for a Mary Hunt death in 1915, age 82, in Bekan, witnessed by son John. Could this be your Mary?

Regards- Mary

Thank you, Mary, for all for your help.  Michael Hunt and Mary Mulkeen did have a son John Hunt (1870-1963) who was my great grandfather.  He did have a brother Thomas and a sister Mary so your middle response seems correct.    However the part about Mary MulCleane seems off (due to the spelling) however both Mary MulCleane and Mary Mulkeen (from your first response) did have a father named Thomas, which seems more than just a coincidence.

My brother, who has Ancestry, says the mother of Marry Mulkeen was a Julia Grogan born 1833, but if Mary was born in 1841, that would put Julia at 8 years old which is highly unlikely.

Finally in your last response you put a Mary Hunt who died in 1915 at age 62.  That would mean she was born in 1833.  This jives with the 2nd response since she was baptized October 29, 1833.  So maybe 1833-1915 is probably right compared to 1841-1931.  Then Julia can’t be Mary’s mom because they are both born in 1833.

Chris,

I don't know if 1915, age 82 is correct but should be explored. Sometimes names were misspelled because individuals could not read or write. I thought the baptismal year, father's name, and Bekan location seem to fit, that's where she was married. I know on Ancestry Julia Grogan is suggested on several trees but her age doesn't work.
