p.s. I am researching a Reilly in Glasgow but not your Reilly's, also, I know Clydebank.  That's why your message caught my eye.  Good luck with your research.

Garnethill:  I also have Ryelly/O'Ryelly/Riley in my tree.  Catherine O'Ryelly married John KELLY (!!), both born Ireland, in 1866 Edinburgh, then moved to Glasgow and appear on the 1881 Glasgow.  Any connection?

Sorry, my Reilly's have never appeared in Edinburgh, they are all in the Govan area of Glasgow.  Perhaps you have a connection with the original poster but he/she seems not to have been online for quite some time.  Best of luck with your research

If you could tell us the names and dates of the other children we could look at the certs.
Does it say Workhouse under the father's name on each cert
or
Does it say Workhouse under the date of birth?

  I think I posted all the records above.  I have a record for their marriage, and 3 births of 4 children and one for his possible death in the other workhouse in Drogheda (wrong date for age and marital status is wrong too).  Let me know if you need a link not found in previous posts.

Thanks for any help

I had already read a lot of info on the Workhouses on the Workhouses dot org website before joining this Forum.  I am slightly confused though:  The rules of the workhouses seemed to say that males and females were separated.  My couple that I am researching, paupers, married and had 4 children (3 births, 1 was twins) and always shown address as Bailieboro Workhouse.  So, how did that work?  Was the husband resident in the Workhouse and she not, but only went there to deliver her babies, or, were they both there?  At one point I think they were both shown as labourers, address Workhouse.  In the end, at the birth record of their last child in 1980, address is shown as Workhouse but with a notation that he had already died before the birth in another workhouse in Drogheda.  So, in closing, I would like to know how it worked for a couple to marry and have children while recorded as at the workhouse? 

I do appreciate all the help from everyone who responded to my post.

No....at the time I didn't know he was a Pauper!

Sorry, I should have said.  On the various bits I have gathered, they are paupers and labourers.  I am new at this.  I assumed, maybe wrongly, that the lived at the workhouse.

Then Searched

both Paupers!

So not Medical Staff which might have explained move to Drogheda!

Sorry, not sure what you mean.  Are you saying he would be sent to Drogheda for medical treatment rather than hospital at the Bailieboro Workhouse?
