hi on limerick census 1911 visiting her gran mcnamara is adelaide brock .
she was born in dublin .
i can find no adelaide brock born anywhere in ireland for the date given .
ive tried off and on for a couple of years to figure this girl out .
brock is strong family name .
any suggestions how to go further ?
-
We do have a Female Brock born Apr-Jun 1902 in Dublin North.
Maybe adelaide wasnt named by her mother and was given to a home... This happened my dad's first cousin.. she didnt have a first name and the convent named her Loretta.
The mcnamara maybe then took her in.
-
2 mcnamara sisters married 2 brock men in limerick , they moved to dublin , one couple im desended from other i know they had one son i was hoping adelaide was his sister . cant find any other siblings
-
ive worked out that adelaide brook is adelaide brock born dublin 1903 .
Ada Annie Brock dublin north births jan-mar 1903 volume 2 page 462 , think this is her .
gonna order birth cert to be sure .
shes my grandads sister ! whom ive never herd of .
question is what happend to her ? die , marry , run away ?
my grandads dead so no answers there .
her dad was james brock mother delia mcnamara .
had 1911 census for ages and just rechecked how many children born and how many alive
4 and 4 but only 3 kids named on census , kickin myself !

Hi there,
You could try the 1939 electoral register for Dublin on dublinheritage.ie to see if she's still in Dublin and going by her maiden name in 1939. It's probably a longshot but worth a look!!
-
Just had a quick look at the register and there are a couple of Annie brock's but no Ada or Adelaide.... Sorry :(
-
thanks valkane solved one mystery stuck with another .
merry christmas to you !
-
What about the 1924 marriage for Ada Brock in Dublin North registration district (same area as birth for Ada Annie Brock in 1903)?

Is it a poorly written stenographer?
-
I'm thinking "Stereotyper" meaning one who makes:
"a one-piece printing plate cast in type metal from a mold (matrix) taken of a printing surface, as a page of set type"

-
Stereotyper makes even more sense, especially when you look at 1911 census- Kevin Quinn is 'assistant compositor in Freeman office' (perhaps Freeman's Journal newspaper?)

Hi,
My name is Brock from Limerick and I'm working on my family tree.
My great grandfather was George Martin Brock born around 1876 and married Margaret Twyford.
George was the son of John Brock, born Devon in 1837, think he was in the army.
Any help??
