Serendip! I just happen to have a marriage certificate of Peter Reynolds and Bridget Corcoran dated 4 August 1862 which has the signatures of Mary A. Reynolds (Peter's Mother) and X The Mark of Michael Corcoran (unknown relationship to Bridget whose father is listed as James Corcoran - deceased form...

Just an update: Found an Irish 1901 Census entry which indicates that Patrick McManus (54) of an adjacent townland (Linsbrac?)was a school master with a wife Maria (45) who is matron of the workhouse. Their children ages 13 - 1 seem to indicate that they were married about 1886. I think this family ...

Hi -
I am currently researching Reynolds (Patrick and Mary m1830 in Carrick, Mohill, Leitrim) and (Peter Toole and Ann Nutley m abt 1805 in Carrick, Anaduff, Leitrim). If you have specific names (father and mother and need a birth) and dates, I can report what I find.

Jim - Found a baptism of a William Reynolds to a Patrick Reynolds and Maria Twohilll with a sponsor of Catherine Bohan on Mai (may) 26, 1847 which matches the birth date of William Reynolds in the Irish Narratives book. Looks like your lead really paid off! Thanks so very much! I also note a birth t...

Hi -
As I hunt for a Patrick Reynolds and Mary O'Toole (1830-1849 in Mohill) I have found that corrig becomes carrig becomes carrick. I think you will find that your "corrig" friends are also "carrick" friends.

From the Book by Lawrence McBride, it appears that Laurance Reynolds is the son of Mary Toole Reynolds. Appears that Mary has a brother William in Leitrim and a sister Sicily as well.
Still working on Peter Twohill lead.

Thanks again.

Their son, Laurence Reynolds married a Mary Kavanagh about 1864 - probably in Chicago, Il, USA. Their children wer...
