An Ann Norah KENEALY (born 1865 father:Michael) marries John TOMPKINS July 13 1884 Maida Hill.
The witnesses are Thomas and Ellen SANGSTER.
Thats definately the Ellen I am looking for, so if she was a witness to Ann Norah Kenealy's marriage then maybe Ann is a sister? confuding though because Ann's father is Michael and Ellen's father is definately Patrick on her own marriage certificate. Is the fathers name likely to be wrong on a marriage certificate. I also note that Thomas and Ellen lived at 16 Nightingale street in 1891 and
'There's a marriage in 1889 of a John Kenealy, 26, son of Patrick, a bricklayer. His address is 26 Nightingale St'
could john also be a sibling as they are in the same street?
Perhapes i should look for a group of siblings including Ellen, John and Ann Norah in Marylebone area.
I'm starting to think that Caroline as Patrick's wife is wrong because I only have that from a possible census and that could be the wrong Patrick. I dont have a mothers name for sure.
I have found out that their is a family connection rumoured to Jospeh O'Sullivan who assassinated Field Marshal Sir Henry Wilson in 1922.O'Sullivan's mother was Mary Ann O'Sullivan (née Murphy) and one of the witnessess to Ellen's marriage is a W or M Murphy. Could that be a route to find out more I wonder?
