I have recently returned from a trip to Ireland and have more info on my Kildare branch of the family. I wish I could have done more! LOL The LDS Vital Records cds, included some entries that were helpful to me and then I found the correlating baptism entries in the Kildare Parish records. I could only find 3 births/baptisms, but maybe this is all the children they had. A written family history said they had 2 boys and 1 girl and it certainly does match up! Charles MAHER and Mary GARRY -- a couple of records say CLEARY, but I think it's GARRY, married in 1867 in the Parish of Kildare and Rathangan. Charles was from Ballyloughan, Bagenalstown, County Carlow. The parish records don't give all of that info, but I have researched Charles' family well enough, to know this aspect of his life. Mary was from Kildare, so maybe there are other GARRY family members there . . or were there. Charles and Mary had 3 children, near as I can tell. Elizabeth, born 1868. Charles mother was named Elizabeth. The townland is South Green. John was born 1870. Could this be the name of Mary's father? Traditionally, it would be, tho we know they did not always follow tradition in naming children. Edward was born 1871. Edward was the name of Charles' father. The family history says the children emigrated to the US and became store keepers. Whether this is true or not, I do not know. The parents would have died prior to 1919, as that is when the history was written, near as I can tell. They may be buried in Kildare somewhere. All the children were born in South Green, so that could be a clue. Mary may have some relatives named Brigid GARRY and Kate GARRY and another GARRY with a name that starts with an M or an H. I could not make it out. This person was probably female. Anything sound familiar? I haven't had a chance to do further research on this family, but plan to do so. Debbie
