Ireland / 1910-1914 query
« on: Friday 11 October 13 19:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello folks,

Two of my ancestors moved to Dublin in 1910 for a year or up to 4 years. As a result, they do not appear on the 1911 England census. I was wondering if there was an Irish census that I could check up on?

Their names are Owen and Elizabeth Cunningham. He was born in Scotland (1872) while she was born in Liverpool (1865).

Can anyone give me any pointers please?

:)

Hey Folks,

I have just done a 1901 census search and discovered a William Perry living in Oakham. He was born in 1863.

Can someone look him up and tell me who his parents were?

Thank you!

Chris,

that would be lovely. One of my colleagues would certainly appreciate this trip down memory lane! She also remembers Melia's well, although into the 1960s.

I don't know how similar 1930s/1940s chain stores would be, but those images have certainly helped me to imagine the type of shop environment my grandparents would have been working in!

Hanes, that is a very interesting little aside also! I will add it to my wiki page.

Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Elizabeth Cunningham 1911

Hi there all.

I am looking into my ggg grandmother Elizabeth Cunningham - who was living in Liverpool in 1911.
She was born in 1865.

Could someone please look her up in the 1911 census? She moved around a lot and I'm trying to keep tabs on her!

Thanks :) Merry Christmas

Thanks :)

I'm struggling to find Elizabeth as a young girl. I've narrowed her down living in Birkenhead, Cheshire 1871. Her name was then Elizabeth Hammond. Is it possible to check out this as well?

Merry Christmas one and all!!

Can someone please look up George and Elizabeth Norris, living in Elham Kent in the 1891 census? They are my great-great-great grandparents and I have only just started looking into this branch.

Many thanks and a Happy New Year.

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Henry Torrens Kenny - Folkestone

Excellent, thank you Rog!
I'll see if I can get hold of any of the Gazette Archives you mentioned. I found a few hits online which gave me a bit of info on him and his wife's marriage. She sounded quite well-off as the daughter of Agent-General of New Brunswig, Canada.

I can also start researching the life of a scullery maid/kitchen skivvy too which will give me some idea about the workload of a girl in this position.

Ps CaroleW I have looked up the 1911 census as you suggested and have a full transcript of the members of the Kenny's household - servants and all. :)

Kent Lookup Requests / Henry Torrens Kenny - Folkestone
« on: Saturday 11 December 10 23:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all!

I have been looking up my great-grandmother and the 1911 census tells me that she was a between maid for Cprl Henry T. Kenny, living at 63 Bouverie Rd West, Folkestone. His wife Zoe Kenny was the President of the New Constitutional Society for Women’s Suffrage around this time.

Has anyone got any ideas about how I could find out further information about his household - or his position, documents from the estate etc? I don't really know what I'm looking for but I'd love to build up a picture of the world that my G-grandmother was working in.

Thanks a lot. I really welcome any suggestions.

Adam.
