Dublin / Re: Address/RC church questions. And Gordon (or Gordan) Street, Ringsend?

In 1905, there is an "Unknown" illegitimate male child born to Mary Reilly, of Kells, in the Rotunda in Dublin. Mary, Anne's sister?

Wow! This Reilly family is something else!

Wow, you're good!!

And it's good to know that, at least in the Reilly family, Bernard and Bryan are used interchangeably. (I do have a Bryan Reilly in my tree born in 1803 in Kildalkey. I've seen the name Bernard Reilly too.)

In terms of the Lynch informant, no I didn't notice! Although, I think it is a coincidence. Originally I thought Thomas Lynch may have adopted Joseph because he was a relative's child, but I discovered that the Lynch family had had tons of nurse children prior to Joseph, at one point being denied more. Joseph was with another woman initially, and the only reason he ended up with the Lynch family is because that woman's husband died and she already had a couple young kids of her own, so she couldn't foster anymore.

Okay, yes I was assuming she did. I know that isn't necessarily the case, though.

Thank you, Wexflyer! Although, it seems that we can rule that Anne Reilly as being the same one as Joseph Reilly's mother because that Anne was born in 1885. When Joseph's mother was admitted into the SDU workhouse in 1907, the age given was 18... If she had actually been 21, I don't think she would have lied to make herself seem younger under these circumstances.  ;)

Makes sense. I appreciate that.

There is record of an Anne Reilly, born in about 1888, who was allegedly from Kells with a father named Brian Reilly (maybe it was supposed to be spelled Bryan) who was arrested for abandoning a child in 1916.

Piecing together various bits, it sounds like she was admitted into the Dundalk workhouse in 1915, had a child there, then was discharged and took the child to the South Dublin workhouse. After she was discharged from the SDU workhouse, she abandoned the child at a place called Grosvenor Park House and a postman found the child and took her to Rathmines Police Station. When the baby was taken back to the workhouse for an examination, someone recognized the baby as the same one that had been brought in by Anne Reilly. (The baby was a female, also named Anne Reilly, and ended up dying.)

Not sure if this could be the same Anne Reilly who was the mother of Joseph. And I can’t find an Anne Reilly born to a Brian/Bryan Reilly in Kells.

Thank you. Yes I have that record. Joseph was adopted by them. (Thomas Lynch was listed as Joseph’s father on his marriage, and Joseph gave his kids the surname O’Reilly-Lynch. He also died at Tolka Cottages.)

Okay, that addresses my questions - thank you Wexflyer. I was wondering why I couldn't find a birth registration and that makes sense.

Thank you and yes I'm sure you're right about it being unlikely. I will keep trying for now, but Ancestry results are pending and will hopefully tell more. I'm finding out firsthand why Irish ancestry research can be so difficult. I'm fortunate to have found out all I have so far, really.
