Andrew McCabe and wives
Dunleer Area
Early 1800s

There was a couple named Andrew McCabe and Mary Byrne, living in the townland of Mullacurry, in Dromin parish, in Co. Louth, in the early 1800s. I have NOT been able to find a marriage record for Andrew and Mary. I would imagine they were married though. Whether they were married or not, they did have seven children together.

The baptism record for one of Andrew and Mary's children, shows the address as Mullacapul. There is a townland, in the parish of Mosstown, called Mullacapple. Considering all of the other records for Andrew and Mary show Mullacurry as their address, I am sure the record showing Mullacapul is eithr an error, or Andrew and Mary may have been in Mullacapple for a brief time.

The baptism record for Andrew and Mary's last child, Bernard, shows the mother's name as Bridget Byrne. I am sure that is just a flat out error. It may have been an error by whoever created the original record, or it may be a transcription error.

I have listed the names of Andrew and Mary's seven children in the table below. To view any of the individual records, click on the child's name.

I have not been able to find a death record for Mary Byrne. She must have died sometime between September of 1816, after the birth of her son Bernard, and November of 1819, when Andrew married Jane Mathews.
