The 1901 Census shows my grandfather Martin Flatley (aged 7years) living with his mother and five siblings at house 32 Sonvolaun, Urlaur, Co Mayo.  I know that Martin's father was called Patrick Flatley although he does not appear on the 1901 census with his family, not sure why?   Patrick Flatley married Mary Regan on the 31st October 1888 at the church of the Immaculate Conception, Kilmovee.  I am trying to find out the names of Patrick's parentsand and Mary's if possible.  I am aware that the family had relatives in Sligo.  However I am not sure if the Flatley's actually came from Sligo or Kilmovee. 

I also have a photograph of a Thomas Flatley taken by my own father about 20 years ago when he went to Ireland to visit some relatives. I think this is taken outside of number 32 Sonvolaun. 

I would appreciate any information about the Flatleys that anyone can remember

    The couple did not register their marriage until the first quarter of 1889. The marriage was registered in the Swineford registration district Volume 4 page 307. You can get a copy of the record from the General Register Office for around 4 euros. The record will show the names of the fathers of the bride and groom and where they were living in 1888.

    Google General Register Office Ireland and find the link for getting copies of records.

    Thank you very much for your help with my enquiry.  I shall follow up your lead with the Register Office.  My apologies for the late reply, I have only just checked my account to see if I had any response.
