I suspect everyone else is also part of the extended family and with work, I can piece some of that together. As for William Bonham, Jr., I suspect he is buried with a first spouse/children from that marriage. Late in life, he worked as a mill manager for Odlum's Mill in St. Mullins,so he could have worked at any of their other sites and had a family far afield. Wm. Jr. is definitely not buried in St. Mullins, so I suspect that might be what happened. My great-grandmother is buried with her first husband, my great-grandfather, who is the only man with whom she had children. Joseph Bonham, the postal guy, is probably the son of John and Mary Bonham. In 1901, a John of the correct age and a wife, Mary, lived in Abbeyleix on Temperence St. with Joseph and other children, including a son John, who is the same age as the Streamstown John that you listed... I am not sure who these folks are or how they might be related at this point in time. I do know, that William Sr. and Cath had a daughter, Bridget (born 1853), who married a Denis Delany (as per Irish 1901 Census as Cath. is living with them...) As of 1901, they had Timothy, William and Johnnie. In 1911, I found all (listed as Delaney) but Bridget still living in Abbeyleix - and a death for a Bridget Delany recorded for Jul-Aug-Sep 1903. My guess is that she is buried near Catherine and William Sr. Can you confirm that for me? Thank you so much for your help. This is such valuable info that will help me piece together this branch. All the best and have a great holiday. Joann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
