My maternal Grandmother was Kathleen Hurley who lived in Church Street, Newmarket, Co Cork. She was listed in the 1911 census 7 year old "Katty Teresa" along with her father Thomas, mother Bridget, sisters Hannah Mary (later Sr Bridget) and Eileen Agnes, and her brother Patrick Peter. Her two other brothers were in boarding school in Roscrea at the time of the census.
on her wedding day 23rd January, 1930.
Kathleen Hurley is recorded in the recently released 1926 census records as Kathleen Hurley living with her brother Patrick and sister Eileen in the same house as in 1911 on Church St. Her mother Bridget had died in 1916, and her father in 1921. We know they ran a shop from the house and that they had a small 20 acre farm. Kathleen's occupation is listed as "Assisting on brother's farm". Interestingly, she and her sister Eileen had originally given "House Keeper" as their occupation, but these were crossed out by the Enumerator.
The house on Church St is now demolished. I took the photo below in 2008 when my Dad and I visited Newmarket. I have no idea why the house was knocked down - the site is now part of a public garden.
