I have been working on my family tree for some time now, but my Grandmother's sister is a little bit of a mystery.  I have found a lot of information on most of my grandmother's family, but her sister Kate has only shown up in her own birth record, her marriage record, her father's death registration, and obituaries for her sisters later on.  I have not been able to find out when she died or if she had children.

Here is what I have so far:

Born -  20 JUN 1902 • Curraghadooey, Garrymore, Mayo, Ireland

Married - 28 Apr 1930 to Patrick Concannon from Upper Mace

Father died - 6 OCT 1934, Thomas Hughes, 72 years old, Curraghadooey

I have subscribed to the irishnewsarchives.com website but have not been able to locate specific stories about her family or any obituaries for her.  She is listed as deceased on my grandmother's obituary from Chicago, Illinois, USA in July of 1977.  

I am also missing her sister Annie McDonagh's marriage (to John McDonagh) death information but my dad has been able to fill in some of her other family information regarding children's names.

  • Pete:

    Welcome back to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Kate likely died between 1966 and 1977 since the death records on www.irishgenealogy.ie stop in 1965. I would check with the Church of the Sacred Heart in Crossboyne. Likely a Claremorris funeral home handled the funeral.

  • Thanks Roger.  I'll try to narrow down the search for her as much as I can.  Thank you for the Church name.  Hopefully it can help fill in the gaps.
