I think Kitty/Netty will just have to remain a mystery.
Can I ask you one last thing, please?
In an earlier post, you mentioned addresses and said "more about addresses later" Perhaps you could go into this a little further.

Firstly thank you for all your help.
I followed your link to the 1911 census but that only brings up Michael, Kate and a daughter Mary. I don't see where you get the list of six.

What he tells me about Nettie/Kitty is that she is supposed to have had special needs and therefore, probably never married. It seems that any information he has comes from his now long-deceased mother.

I have just spoken to the person I'm researching for. He tells me he got the Fogarty name from his mother. He never knew her. I always had my doubts that Higgins might have been the correct connection, but because of his insistence, I went along with Fogarty. So now I'm not so sure. Also in this conversation, and just as important, he now tells me that Kitty may in fact be Nettie/Netty.

Thank you for all that information. I had already discovered this for myself however the gentleman I am researching this for is insistent that Catherine's maiden name was Fogerty and not Higgins.

Waterford / Kitty Ryan
« on: Friday 14 November 25 09:36 GMT (UK)  »
Kitty Ryan was born circa 1880 in Portlaw, Co. Waterford. I'm unsure what the name Kitty was short for. Her parents were Michael Ryan and Kathleen Ryan (nee Fogarty). She had a brother, Thomas, but I don't know if he was older or younger than Kitty. Different records list Thomas' birth as 1887 - 1881. At the time of Griffiths, the family lived at 33 Queen Street, Portlaw, also known as The Bridge, Portlaw. The Michael Ryan mentioned in Griffiths would have been Kitty's grandfather. It is believed the family continued to live there for many years. I can find no trace of the family in either the 1901 or 1911 census, nor any record of Kitty's birth or baptism. I know her brother Thomas moved to Croydon as he appears in the English 1901 census. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just a quick message to say Thank You. The information you added here has put many things into perspective for the 81-year-old man I was researching for. It has filled a big gap in his knowledge of his family. Thank you so much.
