Hi!
I have been looking to connect with anyone descended from Patrick Thomas MALONE (abt 1877) born in Ballina, Co. Mayo, Parents: Patrick J. MALONE (abt. 1850)& Bridget Mary KILCULLEN. Believe Patrick T. MALONE lived in Ballinvoy, Aghagower. Co. Mayo in 1901 & 1911. 1911 Census info. Spouse: Catherine ?? & children included Patrick (abt 1905), Maggie (abt. 1907) & Bridget (abt. 1909). Thought I found their graves in Aughagower, but found the names were connected to another family from Mace.
PT's father, Patrick J. MALONE (abt 1850) is my great-grand uncle. He was a prominent merchant (Bridge St.), harbormaster and Church leader (St. Murdeach's) in late 1800's early 1900's. His uncle might have been St. M's church adm. Rev. Fr. Patrick J. MALONE (abt. 1820) in 1850's. PJ MALONE married three times--Bridget Mary KILCULLEN, Mary MCCARTHY and Mary Ellen DILLON. Since my 2010 visit to PJ Clarke, Leigue Cemetery, and Ballina, I have connected with current day DILLON-MALONE descendants in Dublin area and US.
Patrick Thomas MALONE was PJ's first son and is one of the last active family threads I have remaining in order to connect to me & my Massachusetts/New Hampshire MALONE's.
Also looking for more remote possibility of still finding a connection to Francis (Frank) M. MALONE (abt. 1897), PJ's son by Mary MCCARTHY. He attended Blackrock College in 1911, was a Lieutenant in military and immigrated & died in US.
Thanks for any help!
Slan,
Tom Malone

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your message. I hope that someone with information on the family makes a connection with you to share information.
In the meantime, have you tried looking at civil records for information? Civil registration began in Ireland in 1864 so any births, deaths or marriages in the family after this date would be recorded in these records. Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:
http://www.groireland.ie/research.htm
You can search the indexes to these records up to 1958 online at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1408347
You could also try looking in church records. Perhaps you may find something in these that will connect the two. Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For parishes in Mayo, follow this link:

Some other websites that you may find useful are:

Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
