Person in this family
John Condon
Birth not recorded; died Before 7 September 1865
Patrick Condon’s 1865 marriage record names his father John Condon as deceased and a labourer. It proves that John had died by 7 September 1865, but gives no exact death, age, residence, birthplace or wife; Mary Cashin remains an unproved compiled spouse/mother claim.
Partly proved
John Condon is named in our family tree as the husband of Mary Cashin and father of Patrick and Ellen Condon; no dates or places are established.

Life
John Condon appears only in our family tree. The tree makes him the husband of Mary Cashin Condon and the father of Patrick Condon and Ellen Condon, but it supplies no quoted record, date, residence, or occupation.
No original record in this archive confirms these relationships. In particular, Ellen's reported association with County Clare and Queensland is geographically separate from the documented Cork family, so the two branches should not be joined without further evidence.
How we know this: Very weak: only an unverified family-tree relationship is available. [1][2][3]

[RECORD] “Seventh September 1865” | “Roman Catholic Chapel of Castlelyons” | “Patrick Condon” | “25 years” | “Bachelor” | “Labourer” | “Maghna” | “John Condon deceased” | “Mary Ryan” | “22 years” | “Spinster” | “resident with her Parents” | “Coole” | “James Ryan” | “Labourer.” [INFERENCE] Patrick’s age implies birth about 1839–1840. [COMPILED][CONFLICT] The row names no mother of the groom, so it does not prove Mary Cashin as John’s wife or Patrick’s mother.

What Sponsors and Witnesses Can Tell Us
Catholic registers often preserve the people standing just outside a family photograph. A baptism normally names the child, parents, date and sponsors or godparents; a marriage normally names the couple and wit…
Reading Irish Civil Registration
The year 1864 is the dividing line in this family’s Irish paper trail. Civil registration began in 1845 for non-Catholic and civil marriages, but from 1 January 1864 the law required registration of all births,…

What we still don't know
- Birth, marriage, residence, occupation, death, and burial
- Whether Patrick Condon and Ellen Condon were both his children
- He was a **labourer** and he was **dead by 7 September 1865**, both from his son's marriage register, read from the image on 9 August 2026. The form has a column for the father's name and rank and none for the mother's, which is why **no record has ever named his wife** — and why the Mary Cashin attached to him here rests on nothing.
- The 1865 marriage does not name Patrick’s mother and cannot prove Mary Cashin as John’s wife or Patrick’s mother; obtain a baptism naming both parents or John and Mary’s marriage.
- Mary Cashin remains an unproved compiled wife/mother claim: the 1865 row has no mother-of-the-groom field and names only John Condon deceased.
