Mary Readigan

Notes:

Birth:
There is no written proof that Mary was the daughter of Martin Readigan, however, from a research point of view, and based on the rarity of the surname in Newfoundland, it seems likely that she was Martin's daughter.

Name:
Mary's surname spelled "Readigan" in her marriage record.

Mary married John Mullally 11 Nov 1825, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. John was born Bef 1800, Co. Kilkenny, Ireland; died Aft 1865, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried Aft 1865, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Birth:
If this son was from John Mullally's first marriage, he was likely born at Aquaforte, otherwise he was born at Ferryland.

Buried:
Robert Carter did not indicate if the boy's body was recovered for burial.

Died:
Robert Carter's noted that "Richard Mackey upset a punt at Cold East Point, and a boy (Mullally) was lost."

Other Events:

• Occupation: 1871, Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, United States; Seafarer

Notes:

Birth:
The age given in his 1868 marriage record was 34 yrs.

Died:
Michael's mother was recorded as Mary Mackey however, I suspect that she was actually his stepmother. The local Newfoundland newspapers incorrectly recorded Mchael's place of death as Gloucester, England instead of Gloucester, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.

Michael married Elizabeth Kehoe 23 Nov 1868, Little Bras D'Or, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. Elizabeth was born Aug 1842, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada; died 29 Oct 1918, Nova Scotia, Canada; was buried 31 Oct 1918, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. [Group Sheet]
