London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: driscoll/Paul family of poplar, middlesex
« on: Saturday 23 April 11 09:00 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
Thank you all for your replies. I was not expecting so much so soon! I will certainly be looking into all information given to me.
 
Valda, James was born at 49 well st, poplar on the 24th of March 1839.

Evie & Momo22, Florance was a mariner and most likely was not in London at the time of census. Evie, the attachement you sent could belong to my Florance if the date is a dob. I will look into that. thank you. The last census Florance would have been found in was 1871 as they immigrated to New Zealand in 1873.

Lizdb, theyr'e not mine, but thanks for your help.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / driscoll/Paul family of poplar, middlesex
« on: Tuesday 19 April 11 07:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I am trying to locate any information on my paternal great great great grandparents. their names were James Driscoll and Jane/Johanna Paul. both were apparently born in ireland around 1811. In 1835 they were residing in poplar middlesex. all of their children were born in poplar, being baptized at saint mary and Joseph roman catholic church in poplar. Their sons were Florance born 08/01/1835; John born 27/11/1836 & James born 24/03/1839.

The only census record I can find for James & Jane is 1851. the whole family are residing at 125 white hart place, poplar, middlesex. I have been unable to locate them on the 1841 census. after the 1851 census, i have been unable to find any information on James, Jane, John and James Jr. they just disappear.
 
Florance married in April 1867 and his bride registered both Florance and his father James on the marriage licence as Paul and not Driscoll as it should have been. i have checked under both surnames in all census records, death records & immigration. Keep coming up a blank. 
Any help or research suggestions would be very much appreciated.
