I am looking for the family and descendants of Jesse Antrobus and Catherine Herlihy / Catherine O'Herlihy who lived in Cork City.
They married in St Patrick's Church, Cork, on 13th July 1897. Jesse (born about 1871 to John Antrobus, labourer) was a British army private based in Fermoy Barracks. I am guessing that Jesse Antrobus was born in England, possibly Cheshire based on the unusual surname.
Catherine Herlihy was born 15th December 1867 in Cappagh, Ballvourney; her father John Herlihy was a baker who died in the weeks before she was born. Her mother was Margaret Murphy.
They had at least two sons, John born 1898 and Jesse born 1900. A daughter Mary Antrobus was born in 1904.
The family appear in the 1901 census living in Cork City. Jesse Senior is not present - although when his son John was born in 1898 he was a "van man", when Jesse Junior was born in 1900 he was listed as a Private in the 1st South Lancashire Regiment, so presumably he was off in the Boer War at the time of the census.
I can not find them in the 1911 census in Ireland or UK, but they appear again in 1922 when young John Antrobus dies from TB and his mother "Kate Antrobus" is listed as present at death.
I can't find any reference to the family living in Cork other than the above.
If any descendants or family come across this topic, please do drop a line.
Any help from researchers who come across the name would be also greatly appreciated!
Sincere thanks in advance.

Dathai,
Thanks so much for those, they've really helped me. I decided to take the plunge and subscribe to one of the online companies to follow up these, and in particular the census information and the Army record confirmed what I was looking for. The Army record even had Jesse Snr.'s death cert from 1939 and showed that most of the family ended up in Billingham, England.
I can only speculate that when young John died in 1922 in Cork and his mother was present, that they may have come to Ireland in the hope that it might have helped his TB. But who knows for sure?
I will continue to follow up and hopefully tie down some information!
Thanks so much again for your help

Thanks Rathmore, I've had a look at that, it gives some great information about Jesse Antrobus - it's definitely the man I'm looking for. Thanks a mil!

There is a Herlihy's Centre Store in Fermoy have you been in touch with them might be related to you.
Notice as well Herlihy could be O'Herliny

Thanks for the advice Rathmore, I will look into the possible Fermoy connection.
Yes, the name changes for Herlehey/Herlihy/O'Herlihy can be quite confusing!
