Mary O'MEARA ^154,1171

   Cause of her death was Cardiac failure/"Probably pneumonia"; no medical attendant.¹²⁶⁶

  Noted events in her life were:

1. Alt. Birth, 1856, Grawn, Toomevara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁹ Her age on the 1901 and 1911 Censuses do not agree with one another nor with age from birth record.

2. Alt. Birth, Bef 1 Sep 1862, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ^1265,1268 The "official" record of birth as recorded at NTGC shows she was christened in 1861, hence she could not have been born in 1862 as Fergus Kennedy's reading of the mircofilm version of the parish record would indicate.

3. Minister/Priest: P. Hurley, 1 Sep 1862, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹²⁶⁹

4. Sponsors: Patt Fogarty & Marg. Fogarty, 1 Sep 1862, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ^1269,1270

7. Census: 1901 Census, 31 Mar 1901, Garrane, Latteragh, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁵ This event was shared from Thomas O'BRIEN who also shared it with James O'BRIEN (Household Member), Patrick Joseph O'BRIEN (Household Member), and William O'BRIEN (Household Member).

9. Census: 1911 Census of Ireland, 2 Apr 1911, Garrane, Latteragh, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁶ On this Census, Thomas is shown with his wife Mary and three sons as before plus two labourers, John Maher and John Eagen. He is a farmer in Garrane, Latteragh and aged 55, which is not in accord with the age given on the 1901 Census (42). I am not sure which Census, if either, is correct. This event was shared from Thomas O'BRIEN who also shared it with James O'BRIEN (Household Member), Patrick Joseph O'BRIEN (Household Member), and William O'BRIEN (Household Member).

Mary married John FARRELL, son of James FARRELL and Unknown, on 4 Feb 1883 in Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland.¹²⁶⁷ (John FARRELL died before 1897 in Ballinveny, Toomevara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland ¹²⁷².)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Minister/Priest: E. or G. Corbett P.P, 4 Feb 1883, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹²⁷³ The initial is E. on the civil record and G. on the church record

2. Witnesses: Michael Brislane and Margaret Meara, 4 Feb 1883, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹²⁷³ Not sure who Michael was. But both Margaret and Mary had their names misspelled as Meara and Mara on the Civil and Church marriage records respecively when it should have been O'Meara. I believe that they were sisters.

Mary next married Thomas O'BRIEN, son of William O'BRIEN and Eliza REIDY, on 19 May 1897 in Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland.¹⁵⁴ (Thomas O'BRIEN was born circa 1856 in Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland,^156,1259 died on 23 Apr 1918 in Grawn, Toomevara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland ^1114,1171 and was buried after 23 Apr 1918 in Kilkeary, Nenagh, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland ¹¹¹⁴.)

  Noted events in their marriage were:

1. Minister/Priest: Fogarty and/or Michael Murray, C.C, 19 May 1897, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁴ Different priest's names appear on the civil and church records of the marriage. Probably one was the parish priest and the other the curate who actually celebrated the mass.

2. Witnesses: Thomas Reidy and Ellen (or Ellie) Fogarty, 19 May 1897, Toomyvara, Tipperary, Munster, Ireland. ¹⁵⁴
