Web Notes notes for Henry STEELE
Came from Castlemartyr. Moved because of the job. In the 1870 Slater's Directory of Ireland, p41: "Stonemasons, Steel & Sons, Castle Martyr". He was already in Passage West by this year, so perhaps the Directory entry refers to his father and/or brothers.
1853 - He married Mary Fleming on 5 Dec at St Mary's, Passage West. Their wedding witnesses were James Nagle and Kate Driscoll. Married by John Holland, Parish Priest.
1854 - His son, John, was baptized at St Mary's, Passage West, on 10 Sep, so he was probably born shortly before that. The parents are listed as " Henry Still and Mary Flym". Godparents: James Nagle and Honora Flemming. The family lived on Church Lane, Passage.
1856 - Daughter, Hannah, was baptized on 20 Jan at St Mary's Church, Passage. Godparents Patrick Cowen & Margaret Warren. The family lived on Church Lane. On 4 Oct, he was a witness to the wedding of Alexander Gray and Honora Fleming (presumably his sister-in-law) at St Mary's Church, Passage West.
1857 - The baptismal register for their daughter, Mary, shows they were living at Church Lane, Passage, on 23 Aug.
1864 - His daughter, Mary, was born at home Chapel Lane, Passage West, Co Cork on 26 June. He is listed as a mason on her birth certificate. He was the informant on her birth certificate.
