Notes
Patriarch of the Castlemungret O'Donoghue line. Veronica O'Donoghue's paternal great-grandfather. Died 18 December 1897 aged 46 per Mungret headstone #131 — re-read of the photographed stone by a Codex peer on 2026-05-06 corrected an earlier mis-attribution that placed the 1928 / aged-71 entry on William's line. The 1928 / aged-71 entry on the same stone belongs to his wife Bridget (the matriarch), whose widowhood status from 1901 onwards is now consistent with William's 1897 death. NOTE: this contradicts the IGP online transcription page snippet (which read 'William ... Who died 18. 1928 aged 71'); the Codex photo-read is preferred because (a) it directly examines the stone, (b) it makes the widow status in the 1901 + 1911 census internally consistent, and (c) it makes Michael Vaughan Jr's WhatsApp memory of his great-grandfather (= James, b.1883) being absent from 1911 but back in 1926 internally consistent. Slug retained as 'william-odonoghue-1857' for URL stability despite the corrected birth year. Father of John (Mason, who erected the stone), Mary (m. Kennedy), James (b.1883), William Jr (b.1886), Michael (b.1889), Ellen (b.1892), Bridget (b.1894), Rose (m. Mulcahy, b.1897).
