Note N0878 The information I received via Mary Looby had John Conway married to Margaret Hall, with the following children in addition to Thomas and Patrick:

Baptisms - John - 2191830 in St. John's, Co. Limerick, Ireland Ellen - 461833 in St. John's, Co. Limerick, Ireland Anne - 641839 in St. John's, Co. Limerick, Ireland Robert - 12111843 in St. John's, Co. Limerick, Ireland

There is also a record of Patrick Conway in the same family being baptised on 22 Jun 1836.

St. John's parish is in Limerick city. The above can be verified as baptisms of children of John Conway and Margaret Hall from the parish records online (there are also a few baptisms of children of John Conway and Margaret Hall from 1823 onwards in the neighbouring parish of St. Mary, though Thomas is not apparent).

Mary Looby's information also has it that came from Pallas Grean, which is about 20 kilometers from St. John's parish. Normally baptisms are performed in the parish in which the family lives, so the information about the baptisms may be incorrect.

It is possible that Thomas Conway (with or without the rest of the family) moved to Pallas Grean when he was a teenager, or later or that the family lived in Pallas Grean but for some reason had their children baptised in the city.

Alternatively it could be that someone found that the baptism records in St. John's parish matched some of the information on the family and incorrectly concluded that those records refer to people in this family tree.

Without knowing why those baptisms are thought to apply to our family it is difficult to know if the information is correct or not. Until I find out that those records should apply, I shall err on the side of caution leave out the children for which there is no other evidence of a connection to the family. By the same token I will also exclude Margaret Hall.

Note N1245 1879 Deaths registered in the District of Croom in the county of Limerick

No.: 98 Date and place of death: 1880 Fourteenth February Fanningstown Name and Surname: John Conway Sex: Male Condition: Widower Age last birthday: 96 years Profession or occupation: Farmer Certfified Cause of Death and Duration of Illness: Debility 2 months no medical attendant Signature, Qualififcation, and Residence of Informant: Michael Conway present at death Fanningstown When Registered: Twenty eight February 1880

Note N1246 Michael Conway of Fanningstown is the informant on the death record of John Conway of Fanningstown in 1880 aged 96. Michael Conway replaced John Conway as the occuppier of lots 12 and 16 in Fanningstown after John's death. Neither record states the nature of their relationship but it seems likely that they were father and son given

1) John and Michael's ages 2) The above records 3) The fact that Michael's father's name is believed to be John (because there is evidence that Michael's son John is cousin to Thomas Conway's son John and Patrick Conway's son John; Thomas and Patrick's father was John).
