Donegal / Re: Annie Kathleen McCauley

Marriage certificates don’t usually give a date of birth - just an age or ‘full’.
Was the date of birth written on the civil and/or church certificate?

Yes I am wondering where the date of 24/12 came from?
Kathleen’s age is given on her marriage and death certificates which match with the day, month, year given on the 1939 registration (census) document.

Confirming that Cassie is a diminutive of Catherine.

Do you know what her family called her?  (eg a great aunt was registered as Ann Jane and called Annie in the family, others have been Anne and called Nancy in the family etc)

How do you know her DoB was 24/12?

Would she have named any of her children with names that could be family names? By that I mean names that are not showing up as part of the names 'belonging' to her husband. 

Do you know her for religion?

Do you recall any mention of gt Aunts or Uncles

What is making you think it was Co Donegal that she came from? Family Stories? These can often contain useful information. 

Have searched the military file for Frank Webb. Often military had to get permission from CO to marry. You would also see where in ireland that he was posted.

NB I see that Crisane has suggested this.
Many thanks for your reply. Annie was a RC, as was my mother, her daughter. I have sent for my grandad (Frank) military records to see where he was in Ireland. As he was an officer there should be some info. Her DOB came from marriage and death certificates, so I am pretty sure it is correct. As for Donegal, I have searched records and Donegal fit with father and sibling names.
Once again, many thanks

Do you have Frank Webb's service record to see where he was in 1920's
Not yet but I think I have his service number and will try and trace him
Steve
If Frank Webb was still in the army in the 1920's his service record will still be held by the MoD.
You can apply for them but you will need his birth date, a copy of his death ceritificate and 30 quid.

Thanks, he was still in the forces in 1922 and I have a photo copy of his death certificate.

Her marriage certificate has her DOB as 24/12/94 and her father as Patrick which may or may not be true...
I have been digging further and Annie’s father was a coal merchant! I will continue looking through records.

Do you know of any siblings or cousins etc who might have visited or sent letters etc to Annie?

I would be dubious of the Anne Mary - fathers name is right, and the county is right, but middle name is wrong and so is fathers occupation
Many thanks for helping.
After Annie left to marry my grandfather, I don’t think she had any further
contact with her family. Her marriage certificate has her DOB as 24/12/94 and her father as Patrick and my family suggest she was from the Donegal area. Not a great deal of help, I know 😕
Steve

PS please don’t rely on the occupation as a tailor as this may be just the result of my poor research
