Ok folks, One last line. This is the last of the three dead ends I have. Peter Nolan and Mary Bourke had three children; Catherine, Peter/Petros, and Mary/Mary-Ann/Marian. I don't know what came of the first two children. Mary-Anne joined my Cleary line by marrying Thomas Cleary of Killeshin (1846-1905) and making her my great-great grandmother. They had eight children including two girls who were in the convent on Tullow Street but ran away to join their aunt (Thomas's sister) in New York. The family lived at Castle Hill, Potato Market, Cockpit Lane, Bridewell Lane, and Brewery Lane over the years. Mary-Anne went on to marry twice after Thomas passed away. I was hoping to find some way of tracing the parentage of Peter Nolan and Mary Bourke, or if anyone had any information on them. Many thanks. -- Regards, Kristian
