Biography

Biography of Martin AMBROSE

Martin Ambrose was likely born about 1791. In 1847 he lived in Knockanduff Townland, Rathcormack, Barony of East Muskerry, and paid 21 pence in taxes for his small house and garden, and no taxes for a vacant house he was responsible for

Martin Ambrose is a possible brother or cousin for Mary Ambrose Troy, born 1786, who married Patrick Troy, Sr., and passed away in 1847 in Peafield townland.

Martin Ambrose might be the father-in-law of Johanna and he might have a son Martin Ambrose born in 1839, who would be 12 years old in 1847 during the famiine, and not listed as a tenant because of his age on the 1847 Valuations.

Martin Ambrose is listed as property occupier on Griffith's Primary Valuation of Ireland in the Civil Parish of Rathcormack, Townland of Knockauduff, Mill Street. If Martin has a son Martin Ambrose, Jr., his son would be 18 years old in 1853, but not likely a primary tenant unless he had married.

Martin Ambrose passed away after 1853, and most likely in 1871 when we have record of a Martin Ambrose dying before the birth of several children whose father is Martin Ambrose. Those are probably his grandchildren, born to the Johanna, wife of Martin Ambrose, Jr.

Research Notes

1. We don't know if this is the same Martin Ambrose who has family in Mondaniel, Rathcormack, County Cork, Ireland in 1901 and 1911. We think it is the younger Martin Ambrose, born about 1839. The older Martin Ambrose passed away in 1871. His son Martin, born married Johanna O'Connell and passed away before 1901. His wife and family stayed in Mondaniel after his Martin Ambrose, Jr.'s death.
