Lanarkshire / Help finding Mary Lynch in 1871 or 1881
« on: Thursday 30 April 20 16:47 BST (UK) »
This is her with her parents Thomas Lynch and Jane Balmer in 1861

Her brother Robert Lynch was born in 1865 and died in 1866.
I believe this is her with her husband in 1891

Id like to know if there were any more Lynch siblings or when her parents might have died but if I could find the family in 1871/1881 that might help me track the death certs.

Ireland / Re: Finding grandfathers illegitimate pos adopted child
« on: Wednesday 23 March 16 14:27 GMT (UK) »So, what's on Death Cert for grandfather's older brother ?
I don't understand what you mean. There's not much on Irish death Certs, location, age, cause of death, informant.
Anyway I think I can exclude the cousin being a half brother now. It seems he had his birth date wrong. I found a certificate under a slightly different name and year that is more than likely him.
Back to having no leads.

Who is dead? Grandfather's older brother or the child??
Both, the son more recently.

I possibly have a lead. My grandfathers older brother and wife married when the were in their early fourties. They had one child in their late fourties. He's unfortunately now deceased, but I can't find a birth certificate for him online and I'm looking through his papers and he has the Certs for his parents baptism/marriage but not his own.

Yes my grandfather was from a small town and apparently "everyone knew".
The small town is in Longford but quiet close to the bigger towns of Granard and Castlepollard in Westmeath, so the mother may be from one of them or from the small town as well.
The only person who knows now (that we know) is a cousin of my grandfather but she doesn't want to talk about it, all other family are dead. Unless older people in the town still know but we wouldn't know who to ask, we don't have any family still living in that town.
If the mother was from the town would the child have been baptised in the local church? Because we were at the church before we found out about the sibling and the priest was really helpful letting us look over the records to find my great grandparents. We could go back there to search for illegitimate children born in the timeframe.
Second question, if she was sent to a mother and baby home would she have been sent to Castlepollard or did they normally send the mothers further from their homes?

I'm not sure but I might be asking the impossible here.
My grandfather had a child outside of marriage in the 1930s or 40s. The only person alive now who knows the birth mothers name is refusing to say. After finding out about having a brother or sister two years ago my Dad would like to meet them, but without the birth mothers name is there no way to trace them?

London and Middlesex / Lived in st Pancras married in Lambeth
« on: Monday 18 January 16 15:41 GMT (UK) »
The person I'm trying to search has stated they were born in st Pancras or st Giles in the fields about 1846 and st Giles is where they've lived in each census from 1851.
I haven't found a baptism record yet. I'm thinking they were Catholic, what would be the church for st Giles?
But both this person and her brother married in what I'm guessing is a Protestant church St John the Evangelist Lambeth. From my memory of London Lambeth and St Pancras are pretty spread apart? The husband was also born in st Pancras and they lived together as a couple in st Pancras so why marry in Lambeth?

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Help finding Mary Hogan after marriage. Looking for 1891 census record or death.
« on: Thursday 13 August 15 18:24 BST (UK) »I can't see a death record for Mary anywhere
Have you searched passenger lists for them ?
Making my way through the NY and MA passenger lists now. Neafsey seems to be butchered too often so I'm just searching by first name and slowly getting through it.
