Individual Details
Mary CUNNINGHAM
(Abt 4 Oct 1832 - Aft Poss 2 Apr 1911)
Sponsors at Mary's baptism were James Cunningham and Mary Woulfe.
It is thought by one family source that Mary married a Pat O'Sullivan from Knockbawn (in Co. Kerry?) and that they emigrated to the United States where Pat was killed in a railway accident in the course of his work. However, other family sources believe Mary married a Mr. Moore (possibly named James) from Aughrim.
There is a record (on www.irishgenealogy.ie) of the marriage of a widow named Mary Cunningham from Newtownsandes to a James Moore from Listowel on 28 May 1874, but the name of Mary's father on the register is John, not Myles. Furthermore Mary would have been 42 years of age in May 1874 so it is unlikely that this record relates to the marriage of our Mary.
Perhaps Mary married twice, marrying Pat O'Sullivan first and later marrying a Mr. Moore.
If our Mary did indeed marry a Mr. Moore from Aughrim, then it is likely she lived with her niece Margaret Moore (née Mulvihill) in Aughrim towards the end of her life as there is a Mary Moore, aged 81 and widowed, listed in the 1911 census return of Margaret and her husband, Patrick Moore.
