Hi
I am researching Mary Field born Dublin 1872 I have a possible with parents being Michael Field and Mary Ann Reilly.
I have just had a conversation with an elderly relative who remembers our Grandmother and recalls her talking of being brought up in O connell Street and her father having an undertakers business
and he was killed by one of his horses.
Is there somewhere I can check for old businesses .
Mary was disowned by her family when she married , and never returned to Ireland.
-
You can check Thom's directories year by year but only a few years are online. Pearse St Library in Dublin has a complete run.

I see from Family Search births 1620 to 1881 that she was born in Blackrock Co Dublin and most likely registered in Rathdown Registration District in 1872 there is also a Death recorded in 1878 in Rathdown for a 5yr old Mary Anne Field.
-
Did she marry in Ireland because there are a few marriages around the time when she would have been in her twenties or late teens in Dublin ,Cork and Limerick,both Cork and Limerick also have O'Connell Streets.

Hi
Thanks for the replies I had not seen the death for a Mary Anne Field does this mean the Blackrock birth I have is wrong ?
I am not sure where the marriage took place but family stories relayed say she met Thomas Butler in Ireland while he was in the army there and bought her back to England when she was 15/16 and her family then disowned her , so my feeling is the marriage took place in England but I have never been able to trace it.
Regards
regards

To help search for you can you clarify
Where did Mary's year of birth come from?
Could this be out by a year or two?
If so, there are at least 10 births of a Mary Field or Mary Fields in the Dublin area between 1870 and 1874
If Thomas Butler was in the army have you located his military record?
This may refer to his marrying and where; more detail on Thomas would allow us to look
e.g. DoB, regiment...
Soldiers required the permission of their commanding officer to marry; if this was not obtained a certified letter from a church was deemed null and void and many times the couple would have to "marry again"!
Also what denomination were they?
If Mary left Ireland at age 15/16 that would have been 1887/1888 approx.
She would have been underage to marry.
There is a marriage of a Mary Field to a Henry Butler in Dublin in 1893 could this be them?
Are they on UK census on other years?
and especially in 1911, does this refer to years married?
If her father was an undertaker, bear in mid in the 1870s this may mean he was a carpenter, cabinet maker, upholsterer, etc. references to him may be to his trade; he would have to have been the owner of the business to show up on directories of the time.
Field is a bad name for searching for obvious reasons, so the more information the better for searching

Hi
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply I will try and answer your questions
Mary field age taken form 1901 census she shows her age as 29 and birthplace Dublin.
I do have Thomas Butler's military record he was in the commissariat and transport corp from 1888 to 1892 he was convicted and imprisoned for theft and discharged in 1892, there is no note of a marriage and his next of kin is his mother Hannah.
I believe them to Roman Catholics.
I have discounted the Mary Field and Henry Butler marriage.
Her first child was born in 1893 so that may narrow down time scale for marriage.
I hope some of this may help.
thank you in anticipation
Regards
They are not on 1911 census as a family together,

Welcome to RootsChat pdollinger
There are more records online since this thread started so can you clear up a few things so we can try to help.
In which country is the 1901 census you refer to?
Where does it say Michael and Ann were born?
What age are Michael and Ann in the Census so we have an idea when they were born?
-
If this is them the parents of Michael appear to be Michael Field and Mary Anne Reilly

Michaels birth 1884 same address

Good morning
It has been quite a while since I have looked at this so have not updated the information I have since found.
I discounted the Mary Field / Henry Butler marriage but trawling through records I found this to be correct the clue being Henry giving an address in Burton on Trent which I have attached to the family, it was a real eureka moment for me. The marriage took place in 1893 in St Andrews Dublin.
Henry shows his father as Edward Butler, but this is his stepfather Edward Birch.
Mary Fields father is Patrick Field , cab driver, which then led me to a marriage to Elizabeth McCann.

For pdollinger's search
I'd agree with dathai that Mary Anne FIELD aged 55 in 1901 was nee REILLY
and married to Michael FIELD on Mar 02 1862 - LINK (http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633711#page/28/mode/1up) #323

Mary Anne FIELD died Apr 08 1902 aged 56 at 22 Georges Ave, Blackrock and is buried in the same grave
They had at least nine children

Denis/Dennis FIELD(s) married Mary KENNY on Dec 04 1885 in Kilmacud, Stillorgan - LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1885/10884/5975323.pdf)
They are the parents of an Ellen FIELD - LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1886/02605/1962035.pdf) born May 18 1886
There is however a baptism for an Anne FIELDS in
DoB May 17 1886 and DoBap May 23 1886
Her parents are shown as Dennis FIELDS and Mary KELLY
and the sponsors Thomas KINSELLA and Ellen FIELD
The address is the same address as the civil birth record: Brookfield, Blackrock
The baptism notes she married James DOYLE on Apr 16 1917 - LINK (http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000633697#page/219/mode/1up)

They had one son Denis STACK on Aug 29 1913 - LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1915/01379/1567377.pdf)
This states that his father Edward STACK was deceased but there is not an obvious matching Irish record
I think that Denis STACK died in 1927 aged 14 - LINK (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1927/04972/4354209.pdf)

I guess what i really need first is who are the parents of ann field born about 1887 and listed in the 1901 census as gradaughter of mary ann (nee reilly) field. thanks
-
The Anne Field listed was the daughter of Denis Field and Mary Kenny
The family of Michael Field and Mary Anne Reilly are accounted for above.
There is no other birth at that time of a daughter named Anne that I can see.
You can see the number of children James and Thomas had on the 1911 census and can account for them all.
I would be 95% sure of this parentage
-
thanks a million, you got me started with an entire missing link. Anyone wanting the information on any who came to the united states, mostly in laws, I have all that.
-
Since I can't seem to access where you find the information would it be imposing to ask Mary ann field (michaels sister) born 1837 married a miles carroll and best i can figure he died in 1879 dublin. she had four children who all came to the united states, Philadelphia, pennsylvania. Her oldest Mary Jane born sept 1864 or 1867 (depending on what you believe) was my great grandmother on maternal side. supposedly his father was also miles (myles).
thanks

Still Field isn't down for the mother, I've seen this difference between FamilySearch and NLI parish records before, I bet if we could look the baptism up on RootsIreland thay would have Field as well.
