Notes for Patrick Mulvihill: His godparents were William Dillane and Mary Feury. In the 1901 Census of Ireland, Patrick was a tailor in Labasheeda, Co. Clare, however by 1911 he was married to Mary Ellen Gallagher and was living in Glin, Co. Limerick and also working as a tailor. They had nine children (all boys), three died at birth or very young. Many of these are buried near Labasheeda, most likely at Kilkerin, where there is a small church, already in ruins by 1837. This church has a burial-ground only used for the interment of children. By 1911 six children were alive, but two of the boys, who had been born between 1902 and 1911 had already died. At this time, Edward Gallagher, Mary’s father was living with the family in Glin.

Notes for Mary Ellen Gallagher: In the 1911 Census of Ireland ( Co. Limerick), Mary’s age is given as 36 years, this does not agree with the age in the Kilfergus Burial Register, although the tombstone inscription agrees with the census. Mary’s place of birth in the 1911 census is given as Co. Cork, while her father’s place of birth is given as Co. Limerick. She had siblings born in Glin and one sibling born in England.
