Individual Details

Mary Margaret CHEASTY

(Abt 12 May 1867 - 21 Dec 1933)

The sponsor at Mary's baptism was J. Anna Flahavan.

Mary, who was from Clonea, Co. Waterford, was William's second wife. At the time of her marriage in 1898 Mary was living in Mothel, Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Waterford and was working as a housekeeper. According to the 1911 census, Mary and William had had five children born alive, all of whom survived to adulthood.

Mary's aunts Nano and Georgina (Flahavan) funded the education of Mary and William's four daughters, Marion, Pearlie, Alice and Ena.

I am told that four brothers from an earlier generation of Mary's family (names unknown) were killed at Vinegar Hill during the 1798 Rebellion.
