Biography

Edward Vincent King was born in 1848,[1] probably in Kilmeelickin, aka Kilmilkin,[1] County Galway, Ireland. He was the son of John King,[1] a farmer.[1]

Like his father, Edward was a farmer[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] in County Galway. In 1869[1] he was living in Kilmilkin;[1] from the following year he lived and farmed in Derreen, recorded there in 1870,[3] 1872,[4] 1874,[5] 1876,[6] 1877,[7] 1880,[8] 1882,[9] 1884,[10] 1889,[11] 1895,[12] 1898[2] and 1900.[13][14]

Note: this Derreen, known as An Doirín in Gaelic, is near Maam West, in the civil registration district of Oughterard, civil parish of Ross, County Galway. It should not be confused with two other townlands of the same name in County Galway: one to the East of the county (near Tuam) and the other in the West (coastal).

On 30 Dec 1869,[1] aged 21,[1] Edward Vincent King married 20 year old Bridget Walsh.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] He was a farmer living in Kilmilkin[1] and she lived nearby in Maamgowna.[1] They were married in the Roman Catholic Chapel of Kilmilkin[1] in the presence of Michael Walsh[1] and Sabina King.[1]

Edward and Bridget named their children per Irish tradition: their first son was named John[3] after Edward's father, and the second Michael[5] after Bridget's father.

Edward and Bridget's children certainly included:

  1. John King,[3] b. 02 Dec 1870[3] in Derreen,[3] Co. Galway
  2. Mary Ellen King,[4] b. 05 Jun 1872[4] in Derreen,[4] Co. Galway
  3. Michael King,[5] b. 06 May 1874[5] in Derreen,[5] Co. Galway
  4. Peter King,[6] b. 30 Mar 1876[6] in Derreen,[6] Co. Galway
  5. Annie (King) Walsh,[7][12][15] b. 06 Dec 1877[7][15] in Derreen,[7] Co. Galway[15]
  6. Margaret King,[8] b. 30 Jul 1880[8] in Derreen,[8] Co. Galway
  7. Bridget King,[9] b. 29 Oct 1882[9] in Derreen,[9] Co. Galway
  8. Elizabeth Sabina King,[10] b. 08 Nov 1884[10] in Derreen,[10] Co. Donegal
  9. Catherine King,[11] b. 01 Jul 1889[11] in Derreen,[11] Co. Galway

and probably included:

Edward was widowed on 05 Aug 1898 when Bridget died at home in Derreen of pthisis (tuberculosis), after a two year illness.[2] He registered her death on 03 Sep 1898.[2]

He was probably already battling the disease himself: Edward died at home in Derreen[13] on 17 Jun 1900[13] of phthisis and cardiac syncope.[13] His death was registered 02 Jul 1900 by Mary Ellen King of Derreen.[13]

Legacy
Unusually for the time and place, Edward had written a will as he had amassed a modest estate of personal belongings, valued at £55.[14] There may have been complications with the will's probate as it was only granted on 11 Jun 1906[14] - six years after Edward's death - to one Michael Walsh,[14] merchant.

Research Notes

  • Place of birth: presumed to be the townland of Kilmilkin, County Galway.
    • 30 Dec 1869: Edward was a resident of Kilmilkin at the time of his marriage[1]
    • 08 Nov 1884: Edward's daughter Elizabeth Sabina King's birth was registered by Annie Mary King, resident of Kilmilkin, niece of Edward.[10]
  • Julia King: was fourteen, living with Annie (King) Walsh in the 1901 census and named as Annie's husband Patrick's "sister in law" - so presumed to be Annie's sister. However, her civil birth registration has not yet been found to establish her with certainty as the daughter of Edward King & Bridget Walsh.
