Post by cinemadPost by Jeffry L. JohnsonPost by cinemadApparently the Irish registry of births deaths and marriages has no record of peter seamus o'toole being born in 1932.
Does anybody know?
Standard cinema references (Katz, others) cite Peter Seamus O'Toole born 1932 August 02 at Connemara, Galway, Ireland.
Katz notes "he grew up in Leeds, England, where his father made a living as a racetrack bookmaker."
According to IGI FamilySearch a Peter J O'Toole was born in Leeds Yorkshire in the July-Sept quarter of 1932 to mother whose maiden name was Ferguson.
I can find no listing for a Peter Seamus O'Toole born in Connemara Ireland in 1932.
There is a marriage registered in the july-september quarter of 1930 between
his father Patrick O'toole and his mother Constance Ferguson and a few months after their marriage O'Toole's older sister, Patricia was born.
It would appear that Constance was pregnant with Patricia when they got married.
They were living in Leeds at least 18 months before O'Toole was born.
