Patrick Gibbons

Hi Fran,

If you have access to ancestry there is the Woodward-Shepley public member tree has some the details you gave but has the wife as Catherine Kelly.

rootsireland.ie has the marriage record of Patrick Gibbons and Catherine ? in 1826 in Mayo. When I used Burke or Kelly in the search neither worked. rootsireland is a pay site so you would need to purchase the record in order to get Catherine's last name and the parish. It would also give you Patrick's and Catherine's parents' names so you could go back another generation.

rootsireland.ie also has a record of the church baptism of Patrick Gibbons in Mayo in 1804.If you purchased that record it would also give you his mother's name and the parish the baptism took place in.

rootsireland.ie does not have a baptism/birth record for either Catherine Kelly or Burke born in Mayo in  1804 + - 5 years.

Hi Fran,

Patrick Gibbons was my 2nd great-grandfather.  His parents were Luke Gibbons and Ann McDonnell.  I have information on this family on my website at www.pbalkcom.com.  Once there, click on the "Monogue" link and follow it through to the Gibbons family.  I do not know what part of Mayo they were from, do you?

Fabulous info Pat! After Christmas I will go through your records. Thanks so much for your connection!

Merry Christmas!

Hi Fran,

No hurry to reply.  We are obviously related!  Nice to meet a new cousin.  I live in Vermont but was born in Hamilton.  Will be good to share information.  Have a great holiday!
