Nicholas Pickering has written from the UK seeking help in tracing his family roots in Ballyhaunis.
“My grandad Martin Mullarkey was born in Ballyhaunis before relocating to England. He died in 1952 so I believe his date of birth would be around October 1880.”
Nicholas has a copy of his grandfather’s parents’ marriage in 1869: Thomas Mullarkey of Polafuka to Bridget Waldron of Kiltobar. The wedding appears to have been celebrated in Cloonfad Church.
He said: “It would be fantastic to find ancestors in Ballyhaunis, so any information or response would be greatly appreciated.”
