Hello Heywood,

I was told by the Grandchildren of John (Jnr) that he was the only one that moved to England.  They do remember their parents (John Jnr's children) visiting "the family in Ireland", but that's all the information we have.

The Horan family match the details of my O'Hara family.  I have done a search in the 1911 census using the address from the 1901 census and they are not listed.  If it is my Ellen in the 1911 census,  do you know if it was common to leave children at an Industrial School?  I had never heard of this type of establishment.  They seem to have dissappeared!

John Jnr may have been in Yorkshire.  His siblings other than Margaret remained in Ireland.  Margaret did not marry and I was able to find her death record.   John's parents (John and Margaret) also remained in Ireland.

I did find a death record for a Pat O'Hara.  It stated he was a school teacher and died in a Union Workhouse in Tipperary in 1904.

I was not able to find any records in the 1911 Irish census.  Nor was I able to find any records for William.  I am really trying to find any family that may be in Ireland. 

I have birth records for three of John Jnrs siblings.  They are

1892 Patrick - born Longstone
1898 Mary - born Longstone
1900 Ellen - born Ballinulty

Was unable to find any birth records for these two.
1891 Kate
1897 Joseph

There is a family story goes that Joseph was shot by the black and tans and that is the reason John Jnr moved to England.  I have been able to find the English family, but not the family that remained in Ireland.

I have hit a wall, and living in Australia makes even more difficult.

Thank you

Marie

Marie,
Where are your family in 1911?

Heywood

Hello Heywood,

Thank you for your reply.  The published tree is actually mine. 

I have not been able to obtain any further information. 

Thank you again,

Marie

Hello Marie,

The marriage certificate is shown in a published tree.
John O'Hara was a servant on marriage. His father is named as Pat O'Hara, a schoolteacher and a witness is William O'Hara.

That may help.

Regards
Heywood

Hello Willis1, I have tried to send you a PM, but I got an error message stating your mailbox was full.

David's GG grandfather (Christopher) and my husband's GG grandfather(Edward) were brothers.  Edward married Alice Moloney in Middlesborough, England and had several children (John, Edward, Patrick and Mary Ellen).  Their daughter was my husband's grandmother.  I would like to be able to get some more information about Edward and Christopher's parents (Patrick Moore and Mary Jordan).  Do you have any photo's and also any information about their siblings.  I know they had twin brothers, Peter and Patt, who were born in 1847.  Any information would be appreciated as we live in Australia and have difficulty obtaining records.  Thank you in advance.

Marie
