Title: O'Hora of Birmingham
Post by: tommobecket on Thursday 05 March 20 15:36 GMT (UK)

Hi

I wonder if anyone can help please. We're trying to find out more about Anna O'Hora (Born 27.9.1851), Father - Anthony O’Hora and Mother - Mary O’Hora (formerly Tarpey) of 44 London Prentice Street, Birmingham (from Birth certificate). We just can't seem to find anything about the family or Anna?

We think Anna maybe married a Partridge but have no evidence?

Any help appreciated

Many thanks

Fantastic emelton, thank you! It's tricky as their surname is recorded differently each time - but this gives us something better to work on so thank you. I wonder if we'll be able to discover who Anna married?

There is a marriage on FreeBMD of a William Partridge and an Annie O'Horo Sept Qtr 1874 in Birmingham.

Maybe this is your Anna.
