Hello all
Wondering if anyone can help me go back further with my Irish ancestors.
My great-great-great grandfather, Patrick Decoursey, was born circa 1845 in Goleen, Cork, Ireland according to the 1891 census. On his marriage certificate to his second wife, his father is named as Dennis Decoursey. If anyone can find a birth record for him I would be very grateful.
Patrick married Catherine Holland, also of Goleen, Cork, Ireland, but I do not know whether they married in England or in Ireland. There is a marriage record on Ancestry for Catherine WELLYAN marrying a Patrick CORSEY in Poplar in Q4 1869 which I think could be them, with Wellyan being perhaps a misinterpretation of Holland?? Knowing who the father for Patrick is on this certificate would confirm this.
On the 1911 census, Patrick is listed as 'married' however I cannot find a third marriage for him. There is a marriage of a Patrick Corsey to a Mary Ann Dronie in the 1890s but the father of Patrick on this is listed as Michael Decoursey, so can't be Patrick. Can anyone help?
Any information on the ancestors of Patrick or Catherine would be very much appreciated as I have limited knowledge of Irish genealogy resources.
