Daniel Gleeson and family - Genealogists' Forum

Merry · #1 11-07-20, 14:52

Can anyone find this family for me in 1901, most likely in Cork?

Daniel Gleeson born Cork about 1864 (according to the 1911 census)
Hannah Gleeson probably born Cork about 1866

Children:
Michael Gleeson b July 1896
Bartholomew Gleeson b Nov 1897

Hannah died in Feb 1903 aged 36
Michael died in 1904 aged 7

The last entries I have before the 1901 census have their address as 10 Gunpowder Lane, Cork (31 Aug 1900, death cert of another child) and the first entry after 1901 is Hannah's death in 1903 when they were at Pickett Lane, Cork.

Daniel appears with his third wife, Eliza(beth), in 1911 along with Bartholomew from the above marriage.

10 Gunpowder Lane is a family called Driscoll on the 1901 census.

And no Gleesons in Pickett's Lane in 1901.

There is this Hannah although her children don't have the right names:

Any chance Daniel's mother was called Elizabeth?

I don't think I know Daniel's mother's name. His father was Michael.

I've been looking for the birth registrations for those children, but I can't find any of them. Maybe only Elizabeth should be a Gleeson!

That Gleeson belongs to me

Elizabeth Gleeson nee Lynch, was widow of Maurice Gleeson, my g.grandfather. There were 10 children, all born in Rathmore co. Kerry, but Michael (#7 child) moved to Cork, as did his youngest brother Daniel. The family farm in Kerry was sold and Elizabeth went to live with her son Michael and his wife Hannah nee Kelleher.
Hannah died in 1903.

The family emigrated to St Louis, Missouri USA in 1904,joining four siblings who had emigrated at varying times earlier. Michael married Margaret Cremin in 1907 and added more children to his brood.
Four other siblings migrated to Australia, my grandfather among them..

To the best of my knowledge, Michael had no son named Bartholomew and much as I would like to find a new family connection, I don't think he is Merry's Gleeson

What are the chances?!

This is a useful free site for Irish records.....civil registrations, church records, census and some other stuff. You have to register your name but it is pretty easy to use (by Irish standards) If you look for Bartholomew's civil birth registration, there is also a PDF of the registration image available. Hannah's maiden name was Scammell.

I think it was the children in that 1901 census entry I linked to whose birth regs Merry couldn't find, Macbev, rather than the ones she originally asked about.

Ah...well those children (Maurice, Daniel and Dennis) are definitely the sons of Hannah nee Kelleher and her husband Michael Gleeson (who appears elsewhere on the 1901 census...at his place of employment as a draper's assistant).

I notice that Merry's Daniel is shown as an army pensioner (Royal Munster, I think) on the 1911 census. He might well be posted elsewhere with his family in 1901.
