RODDY / RHODDY FAMILY

My grand-father Michael Joseph Roddy was born 27th July, 1885 at 2 Custom House, Cork, Co Cork. He was the first born of Augustine Roddy (Sailor) & Mary Ann Delaney, married St Peter & Paul’s Church, Cork, Co Cork 8th July 1884. Michael Joseph was baptised in the same church.

According to the Marriage Certificate, Augustine & Mary Anne had attained “full age” & were single. Augustine was a seaman, Mary Ann a housekeeper & both living at 2 Custom House Street, Cork.

Augustine’s father was Bernard Roddy, listed as dead & had been a cutler. No mother listed. May Ann’s father was Michael Delaney, sailor. No mother listed but I know that Mary Ann’s mother was Ann Flavin.

I’ve next found Augustine and Mary Ann in the 1891 English Census:

5th April 1891 Augustine one of the crew on board SS Milo. Birth place listed as Dublin, Age 30 years

Mary Ann living at West Ferry Rd, Poplar. London and there were now another three children, all born in Poplar, London - Ann & Mary Margaret (twins) & Bernard.

By 9th December 1896 records in London, England, Selected Poor Law Removal & Settlement Records, list Michael & Mary Margaret as “fatherless”, but I haven’t been able to find any record of Augustine’s death….maybe he died at sea?

One other record shows Augustine as being Indentured into Merchant Navy 4/3/1878 at 17 years old at Troon. Again, Birth place listed as Dublin & Birth year 1861

I’ve not been able to find out anything else about Augustine, his father Bernard, his nameless mother or any other details.

Hi Terraglish,
Augustine Roddy is my great-grandfather.
I would love to see how we conect. I've been finding my Roddy family to be very difficult to trace.
Could you give me your Ancestry user name so I can find you in my DNA matches.

Thanks,
Maureen
