US Lookup Requests / Re: DENNIS CAREY

😂 Saw this last night too. 
Hope he would have better manners than that!  😂
I find a lot of those old newspaper reports don’t have addresses so it’s difficult to ascertain if it’s the right link or not.  If it were him, it would prove he was still around and still carrying the name Denis Carey. 
Thanks for checking.

Hi
Thanks for your interest and checking this out for me.

His mother didn’t remarry as you saw and she died 1895 in Derry
There were 5 children in all (born in Derry)
between 1859-64 - 2 girls & 3 boys

MARY A (1859/1840) married FERGUSON died Glasgow
SARAH (1861/1884) unmarried died Derry
DANIEL  (1862/1912) married twice - he & both wives died Derry
THOMAS (1863/1847) died Derry (my Gt. Grandfather)
DENNIS (1864/ ?

I’m wondering did he die and wasn’t recorded but there’s no burial record for him in the Cemetery either.  His mother had a lot going on, with her husband dying the same year as Dennis was born, and being left singlehanded to cope with rearing 5 children aged 0-5 yrs!

I’m wondering was he given to someone to bring up for her?  Although not a formal adoption, he may have adopted their name?  I was hoping to find him elsewhere, it would have been easier!

Have checked Scottish Records as his sister, Mary Ann, went to live there - no joy.  Can’t find in UK either.

Hi, thanks for that but I already have his birth certificate and that variation in spelling is quite common for Carey.  It’s where he went after that is the mystery.  Can’t find any other mention of him - marriage, death or military records.  Think emigration is likelihood but not found anything to substantiate that either.

His birth is the last record!   His brother Thomas Carey was my Gt. Grandfather.  He and both his parents died and were buried in Derry but no sign of Dennis.  Dennis’ father died 10 months after he was born.

Looking for Dennis/Denis Carey b 10 Jan 1864 in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland.  Can’t find anything else for him in Ireland.  Think he may have emigrated - England, Scotland, America or Canada?  Anyone ever come across him?
