Looking for O'Hare

[old rowley]

Sue, not to throw too much of a spanner in the works, so to speak, but as you have said that you are only guessing that he was born in Ireland and that his father worker as a ship builder do not keep your research soley to Ireland. I have a great uncle who was born in Glasgow and married an O'Hare in that city. I have yet to do the research on this part of my family but I have it that she or her parents may have originated from Ireland (family tales and as yet not proven), being that the area of Glasow that my great uncle came from drew a lot of its workforce from Ireland to work in the ship yards there, it may be another avenue that you might want to explore but with little to go on it will be very hard for you.

there's a Michael O'Hare born 1909 Newry area (and one in Banbridge also) on this site

if you want to chance a few euro, you could get the birth cert of the Newry one.

Hello there,

Thanks for the tip Old Rowley, I had not considered Scotland, you have made me realise that I need to keep this in mind while searching. Michael O'Hare was a Motor Lorry Driver on his marriage certificate so obviously moving around was common-place to him.

Thanks also to eadaoin, I didn't realise familysearch had a record of Irish civil registrations, I have worked out that if he was 29 on 16th April 1938, his birth date would fall between 16th April 1909 and 17th April 1910, so I can narrow the search down by quarter.

Thanks once again to all of you who have given me hints and tips on my search, it's my only foray into Irish family history so your help has been invaluable.

All the best
Sue

You might want to widen the search to O'Hara as well.

[bagpuss]

Oh dear, this search just keep getting more complicated, I will add this to my list of considerations.

Ireland in maps when you put  in O'Hare it comes up O'Hara and the O'Hara lived in Co Silgo and Leitrim, try going though www.google.com and when the box comes up type in O'Hara from co Sligo or O'Hara from Leitrim or O'Hare

Hello rathmore,

Thanks for the links, I will peruse them at leisure, there is obviously a lot of resources out there if you know where to look, hopefully these links will also help Juliet in her search too.

Many thanks
Sue
