MICHAEL LEARY/O'LEARY
Posted by: carol brassfield (ID *****0517) Date: June 29, 2007 at 07:18:57
  of 2584

I am trying to trace my maternal great grandfather Michael born about 1846 in Ireland (if age is correct on marriage certificate). It gives his father as John, a labourer. No documentation to confirm but he spoke of coming from Cork. He appears to have used the name Leary himself but his 2nd wife, my gt grandmother (Catherine Evans) always referred to the family as O'Leary.
Michael married first Elizabeth McFadden in 1867 in St George in the East, Middlesex (London). After her death in 1873 he married Catherine (her half sister according to census records, however, I think they were aunt and niece although only 6 yrs difference in age).
Can anyone help me with this please. All of Michael and Catherine's children appear not to have been registered as I have searched high and low (and I am an experienced genealogist). If anyone can recognize a link with any of their names they were
Catherine (daughter from 1st marriage), John Charles, Robert T (?Timothy) my grandfather, Michael, Martha, Margaret, Thomas, Emily, Mabel, Ellen, Minnie, Ada. The name Thomas may come from Catherine's line as she had a brother with that name.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Carol
