Individual Details
Michael MAHONY
(Abt 1846 - 6 Jan 1919)
Michael farmed in Ballyknockane before moving to Cork city between 1874 and 1876. He was working as a labourer at the time of the birth of his daughter, Ellen, in Cork city in 1876 but was eventually employed as a railway porter.
According to his death record, Michael died at 54 Commons Road in Cork. We know he had lived for many years at 65 Commons Road, so had he moved to no. 54 at some point after the death of his wife, Nora? The informant on the death record was Nora Mahony of St. Luke's Cross, Cork who was a daughter of Michael's brother John. Michael's cause of death 'was "acute oedema of lungs, 3 days".
A Denis Mahoney of 54 Commons Road died aged about 38 of heart disease on 10 July 1902 in The North Infirmary in Cork. A great-grandson of Denis's tells me that Denis worked in the Murphys brewery and that several descendants of Denis's still (2022) live on Commons Road. Denis's father's name was John. Given the 54 Commons Road address, Denis may have been related to Michael above. Some reserach into Denis tells us he married Mary Delea on 19 July 1890 and they had six children: John, Patrick, Michael, Cornelius, William and Anne. According to the 1901 census the family was actually living at 52 Commons Road at the time.
