Mullane of Donaghmore

Thank you for pointing out the need to clarify my question.



Yes, it's County Cork, Ireland. Apart from those who emigrated, all the descendants that I know live near Cork city. The tree is fairly well established with the help of oral information and sharing with cousins but I don't have any records for Cornelius Mullane or Mary Healy, though I have records for some of her siblings. I'm not 100% certain that Mullane came from Donaghmore, but on one occasion that was mentioned, so I'm also looking for some evidence to support that. The marriage most likely took place in Mourneabbey. Any established vital facts will help, like date of death, place of burial, would help. As I said, I have the names of 3 children - there may be others. I should perhaps add the names of the spouses of the 3 children:
Helen "Lena Mullane married John Joseph Twomey
Hannah Mullane married Thomas O'Connor
Jeremiah M "Jerome" Mullane married Mary Ann Coleman. (Jeremiah lived from Aug 1870 to Jun 1969).


I hope that makes the question clearer.

I thank each of you for looking into this for me.
Yes, I found the marriage register for Helena, and the death register, and that squares up. The information that I had on Jeremiah came from someone who is on Ancestry and I have no independent evidence to say it is correct. I have records to show that his two sisters were born between 1868 and 1872, so a year of birth of 1870 for Mr. Mullane is plausible. But as you say, he would only have been 14 in 1884, so something does not fit.

I should explain that my contact is a cousin on the American side and therefore has an interest and has provided some useful info.
I looked up the marriage record for Jeremiah Mullane and Mary Anne Coleman (in 1884) and my contact in the USA found a matching record in the 1910 census for New York for Jeremiah Mullane and Mary Anne Mullane, married 26 years, which matches exactly with 1884, and interestingly Jeremiah's age in the census gives a birth year of 1864, which resolves our difficulty, and would make him the eldest among known siblings and his mother would have been 25 at the time of his birth,all of which is plausible. Obviously, we had an incorrect dob for Jeremiah Mullane. So now, that issue is resolved.
I would still like to be able to link Jeremiah back to his presumed parents, Cornelius Mullane and Mary Healy, e.g. by means of a baptism record. I'm happy that some progress has been made and I thank those who contributed.

Blue banana, That's excellent work. I've dropped the idea of a Donaghmore link. From the birth register for son Daniel, which you located, they were living in Tureen (or Tooreen), before moving to the Blackpool / Commons Road area. I'm only aware of Timothy now for the first time. If it's a church record, Mourneabbey is the church, which is the parish.
Thanks for all your help.
