Thanks for your wonderful contributions Mary! The 6 Mar 1871 Nenagh Guardian mentions the passing of Martin Hayden , formerly of Nenagh, at Ballinasloe. This is the Martin Hayden for whom I am seeking additional information! He is my husband's gggrandfather! What I know of him is that he married Margaret Turner 11 Feb 1857 at Mountshannon, Coolderaugh, County Clare. They had at least two children, Michael Arthur (married Margaret Mary Connell and had three children; Margaret Mary Pauline, Martin Cecil Arthur, and Joseph Dermot, all in Ballinasloe)and Josephine (maybe Johanna?) who remained single and was the proprietess of Hayden's Hotel in Ballinasloe after her parent's deaths. It is my guess that there probably were additional siblings, I just don't know of them yet! Martin Hayden had at least one sister, Margaret Hayden, who married John William Tumpane. Again, I assume there would probably have been additional siblings, one possibility is a Laurence Hayden, who appears as a baptismal sponsor for one of the Tumpane's children. Martin Hayden was a shopkeeper on Castle Street for a number of years, I really don't know how long. Any clues as to additional siblings for either generation of Haydens--or parents for Martin Hayden? He was born about 1830, his sister, Margaret about 1823. Thanks again for all of the wonderful information on this list!
