Individual Details

According to the 1901 census Maria was born in Co. Cork, whereas Michael, her husband, and all her children were born in Cork city. I am told that Maria's family were Protestant and may have had Cavan connections. However, if Maria had been born into a Church of Ireland family then she must have converted to Catholicism upon her marriage as her religion in both 1901 and 1911 census returns is given as Romas Catholic. The 1911 census tells us that Maria and Michael had been married for 25 years and had nine children born alive, all of whom were still alive at the time of the census.

It is believed that Maria and her husband, Michael, separated and that Maria moved to Dublin afterwards.
