Wexford / Re: Is the name Ciss or Cissie a real name

I always thought it was a diminutive of Cicely or maybe Cecelia. Never quite understand these nicknames - why is someone called Margaret sometimes known as Peggy, for instance.

Yes, that's a definite match for the marriage. I know she lived in St Helens from the time of her marriage until her death in 1967. I can't find out whether she was born in Ireland or in St Helens. I am thinking she was the neice of Margaret White, not Simon and if I could find out Margaret's maiden name (and details of her siblings) it may give some clue to Marcella's family. I'm finding tracing the female line so frustrating!

Thaks for your help

Wicklow / Marcella McCoy, Blessington
« on: Friday 16 September 11 16:02 BST (UK)  »
Trying to find place of birth and mother's name of Marcella McCoy. Born 11 Sep 1893. She is shown in 1911 census as living in Blessington, Co Wicklow, assistant in her uncle and aunt's shop. Uncle's name was Simon White, wife Margaret. Marcella was married and  living in St Helens, Lancashire by c.1920 but can't find any details of her birth or siblings. Any help appreciated

Correction to my previous post :- BRIDGET was married twice (not Ellen), Gavin was her first husband's surname. Apologies.

Paul,
Your grandmother, Bridget had a younger brother Patrick John (known as John) I'm his daughter, Sheila. I can confirm Ellen was married twice so Gavin was her husband's name. Children of Bridget & Charles Collins were Ellen, Charles, Mary, Thomas, Bridget and Patrick John. I think either Charles or Bridget was from Co Cork.
