1926 Census Foxboro

 Great grandfather Thomas (born 1852) had several siblings:

- Jimmy (dies 1933) in Keyfield

- Henry, marries Mary Jennings, used to live in Foxboro but has apparently died by 1926 census

- Martin (1848 - 1935) is around too, married to Mary Horan

- Patrick (1846 - 1878)

- John (dies 1907, married Catherine Govern)

And his sister Mary (1841-1919) married Michael Connolly. They have both died by 1926, but their son lives on:

Pat & Mary Connolly 1926 Foxboro



There's also Delia Connolly listed:

Delia Connolly 1926 Foxboro


And get this: she's a single, 20yo female, head of her own household! Not sure what the likelihood of this is in 1926 rural Ireland, but I'm guessing this is a statistical rarity!

Of course, not sure she is related ... need to research.


Here's the rest of Foxboro:

1926 Census Keyfield

 This is Jimmy O'Grady's family, great-grandfather Thomas's older brother:

1926 census

His birthplace is listed as Derreentighe! (lol, yay!)


I believe this is a lot more than we knew about his family!

Here's the rest of Keyfield:

Martin Waldron ... he is related ... somehow!
