Molloy

My grandad was William Patrick Molloy, born 1898 in Birr, Offaly. His siblings were, Bridget, Mary-Ellen, Julia, Patricia, Catherine, Margaret, James and five who didn't survive childhood. His parents, my great-grandparents were James Michael Molloy (b1853) married Mary-Anne Quirk. Next, back Patrick Molloy who married Mary Halloran, next back to 1820ish was Thomas Patrick Molloy and before him another Patrick Molloy b 1797. All these were from Birr to the best of my knowledge. Alongside all these fine Molloy's I have details of eighteen siblings, namely great great uncles and aunts. I have stuck a little history up on www.mogsie.co.uk
