Omally26 — 2012-04-30 14:44:31Z

Hello I'm looking for information on Mary Gildea abt 1898 married to Arthur Garant 1894 settled in Fall River Massachusetts. From England I think her parents were from Ireland. She might have had siblings Patrick, Richard, James. Possible parent were Patrick and Elizabeth. Her son is my Grandfather. Any help would be appreciated. Would love any family photo's.

My Grandfather was John Gildea born in Ardara 1882. His parents were John Gildea (1841) from Ardara and Susan Maguire (1846) from Glenconwell. I suspect Susan and Mary were sisters. Siblings of my granfather were Patrick, Con, James and Bridget. Sponsors at John and Susan's wedding were Patrick Gildea and Patrick Gildea.

What a disappointment!!

My Mary Ann Gildea was born in the Araluen/Braidwood area of NSW Australia. She spent her married life as the wife of Maskelyne Welsh around Cobargo also NSW Australia. May Ann was my great grandmother.
Looks like we have 2 different people.

My Mary Ann was the grand daughter of James Gildea, b. about 1815 in Co. Donegal and Mary McNulty. Mary Ann's father was Robert Gildea, b. Sydney about 1838 and Jane Harris from Co. Kildare.

Let me know if these are familiar to you.

Jenny

Hi
My great great grandmother was Eliza Gildeas sister, Mary Ann Lucy Gildea. She married Edward Stanley, Williams's brother. So the two Stanley boys married Gildea sisters. I have traced them back a few generations.

Re: James Kildea/Gildea - Donegal to Australia 1837

jultay — 2011-08-09 11:55:20Z

Hi Alan,
It's marvellous to hear from a descendant!
My cousin and I have just returned from a trip to the South Coast and spent some time at the Cobargo Cemetery checking out relations and saw the modernised headstone for Mary Ann and Maskelyne Alcock Welsh.
I would love to correspond and exchange information - I have also just recently discovered the birth registration of Robert Gildea in the archives of St Mary's Cathedral which are kept in the Mitchell Library.
Robert was born in Sydney on 4 February 1839, baptised 10 Feb.
We do not have any photos of our Thomas Gildea so would be very interested to see photos of Robert's eldest daughter, Mary Ann.
My email address is jultay@ozemail.com.au

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Julie

Re: James Kildea/Gildea - Donegal to Australia 1837

alandonougher46 — 2011-08-09 04:33:51Z

To Jultay

Definite link to my wife's family. One of the children of James Gildea & Mary McNulty was Robert Gildea born c.1838. He married a Jane Harris. Both died in the Redfern area of Sydney.
One of their children who does not show up in the NSW BDM certificates was Mary Ann Gildea. My research shows she was probably born in the Araluen area of NSW about 1867. She went on to marry Maskelyne Welsh and lived in the Cobargo area of NSW until 1951. She was my wife's g grandmother. We have pictures of her. In 2003 there was a Welsh Reunion in Cobargo and Mary Anne's story plays a part in the booklet that was produced for the occasion.
I would be very happy to swap information with you.

James Kildea/Gildea - Donegal to Australia 1837

jultay — 2011-08-08 13:09:21Z

My 2x great grandfather was James Kildea/Gildea who emigrated with his wife Mary McNulty on board the Adam Lodge in 1837. His place of birth on death certificate is Donegal with parents James Gildea (Blacksmith) and Mary MacDonald.
James was a blacksmith and settled eventually on the South coast of New South Wales at Mullenderee, Moruya. He and Mary had 8 children, two of his sons were blacksmiths and so were some his grandchildren.
I'd be interested if anyone shares this family on their family tree.
Julie

Re: James Gildea

PFrick2549 — 2011-07-30 13:49:01Z

Not my Gildeas. Their name changed from Gildea to Kilday some time in the 1800's. They came to Turtle Creek, Pa. in the 1920's.

Re: James Gildea

ColleenBible — 2011-07-29 21:24:49Z

Hi, I'm sorry for posting on such an old subject but I found this during a search.

I have a photo of my Grandmother who is standing next to a man and the writing on the back says "James Patrick Gildea and Me, October 13, 1937". I was trying to figure out who the gentleman was and I wonder if he may be your grandfather? My grandmother grew up in and around Middletown, NY.

I'm attaching the photo here, please let me know if I'm on the right track.

Re: Gildea Descendants

Re: Gildea

Hi. I was searching for information on Mary Zettwoch (ne Gildea) who I think is my Great-Great-Great Grandmother. I would appreciate it if you could send me I would appreciate any information you could provide. Thanks.

JohnSpringford — 2011-05-09 09:19:09Z

Just wondering how you are progressing with your research into the Gildea family. Ann Gildea was my great grandmother, she married Barney O'Neill in NZ. She came out here with her sisters, Susan married Timothy Miscall, Laetitia married Edward O'Connell and Catherine married a Laverty, to marry men who had left Ireland for the goldfields of NZ. We met some Gildeas in Ireland in 2005 but they were not closely related to our family

Would be pleased to follow up on other relatives.

gildeas in mount carmel pa

joanedmonds_1 — 2010-08-02 16:30:35Z

My Gilday/gildeas were from Co Longford. Patrick Gildea was born in 1866 and a Catherine Gildea was born in 1867, both in County Longford, Ireland. Their parents were John Gildea and Mary Smyth/Smith and they had 8 additional children--Thomas, Michael, Laurence, Rose, John (my grandfather), Ann, James and Mary. They were all born in County Longford and all came to the US. Does it appear that this Patrick is the same as the Patrick in my family?

I believe Peter and Mary are my great great grandparents. I have done an extensive search. I just returned from Ireland and I think that Donegal may be where Peter lived prior to immigration. I grew up in Archbald.

Re: Gildea- Co. Mayo, Ireland

SusanAllaire — 2010-05-29 04:28:06Z

I just came across this.

I am a descendent of John Healy & Maria Gildea through Annie Healy. Annie Healy went to England where she married William Henry Weeden. William and Annie had a bunch of children, one of whom was also named William Henry. William Henry Weeden (born 1896) was my grandfather. He became a British Home Child through Dr. Barnardo's group and was sent to Canada -- this, after Annie died in 1908.

I'd be interested in any more information about Annie's family.

Re: Gildea/Pender/Kenny

It is almost 10 years since this query was posted. Yes, I have information about the Donald/Geils/Kenny/Pender families who originated in the Cardross parish in Dunbartonshire. I would be interested to hear from anyone descended from these families?

Nora/Noreen Gildea

I'm trying find out who my GreatGrandparents are. My Dad doesn't remember what his Grandfather's name was. I know his last name is Gildea, and his wifes name was Ann(e). Obviously they were from Ireland. My grandmother's name is Nora or Noreen, she goes by both so I'm not quite sure. I have all other sides of my family but am totally stuck here.

Re: Patrick Gildea, born, Ireland, 1859

SeanOConnell500 — 2010-04-01 18:03:55Z

My Gildeas came from Boyle, Roscommon/Sligo. Patrick Gildea b.1802 married Honora Gildea b.1811 and had the following kids. Mary b.1826, Brigid b. 1833, Anne b.1838, Edward b.1840, Kath b.1841, Susanne b.1843, Letitia b.1845 and John b.1852. Sorry no 2nd generation Patrick that I know of. Most of the Girls emigrated to New Zealand and John spent some time there but He and his brother Edward could have ended up anywhere and almost certainly would have named a son Patrick.

Hello, I'm also researching the Stanley surname. My GG grandmother was Mary Lucy Ann Gildea the sister of Eliza Jane Gildea. These two sisters married Stanley brothers. My grandmother was Florence Stanley of Liverpool and she used to visit her fathers cousins. Mary Lucy Gildea married Edward Herbert Stanley. His father, and William Henry Stanley's father, was William Henry Stanley b. 1829. Eliza Jane's parents were Charles Gildea and Ann Rogers. Eliza Jane's siblings were: Charles b. 1840, Mary b. abt 1843, Arabella b. 1851 and Julia b. 1859. Hope this helps.

Hello-- My Bridget was born in 1850 in Ireland. All US census records show Ireland- no county. I am currently visiting Ireland & will be leaving tomorrow. It's such a wonderful place -- so friendly. Even though I do not have any information on my grandparents, just being here --- knowing this is where my roots are is a great feeling. Good Luck on your quest.

I don't want you to go out of your way but if in your research you come across any mention of Gildeas in Boyle, parish or town, or any mention of Patrick 1802 and Hanora 1811 Gildea and their children Brigid 1833, Edward 1840 and possibly John 1852, I'd like to know. I have all the baptism records and death certificates but there's no clue as to where exactly they lived, just Boyle district no Townland. Can't find them in Griffiths either. I'd like to find out if there are any other descendents out there.
