I am searching for information about my great grandmother Ellen O’Neill and her family the O’Neill’s. Ellen was born abt 1858 in Abbeyfeale, Limerick, Ireland and died 5 Nov 1938 in Surrey England. I do not have her birth or baptism records. She was still living in Abbeyfeale, Limerick at the time of her marriage in 1882.

Ellen married Michael Goulding 28th August 1882 at The Catholic Church of St Michael, Limerick. Their marriage certificate states her father was Michael O’Neill who was a weaver.

Michael Goulding was from Fermoy Co. Cork at the time of his marriage and worked for Inland Revenue.

Michael Goulding was born abt 1859 in Cahirciveen Resident, Kerry, Ireland and died 22nd Oct 1924 in Hertfordshire, England

Michael and Ellen had 6 children (Michael, Patrick (my grandfather), William, Margaret, Eily and Teresa). They linked their surnames for their children ie Patrick William O’Neill Goulding (who was my grandfather). I’m not sure if this was common practice at the time or this linking of the surnames had some other significance.

I am looking for any records about my 2 times Great Grandfather Michael O’Neill his wife and their family

The only record I have been able to find of Michael O’Neill is on his daughter’s marriage certificate.

I have been able to source information on Ellen and Michael through English census records, and probate records.

I have searched on ancestry.com.au and familysearch.org but have been unsuccessful at finding any further information.

Thank you for any assistance.
