« on: Wednesday 03 March 10 16:10 GMT (UK) »
hi on limerick census 1911 visiting her gran mcnamara is adelaide  brock .
she was born in dublin .
i can find no adelaide brock born anywhere in ireland for the date given .
ive tried off and on for a couple of years to figure this girl out .
brock is strong family name .
any suggestions how to go further ?

We do have a Female Brock born Apr-Jun 1902 in Dublin North.

Maybe adelaide  wasnt named by her mother and was given to a home... This happened my dad's first cousin.. she didnt have a first name and the convent named her Loretta.

The mcnamara maybe then took her in.

ive worked out that adelaide brook is adelaide brock born dublin 1903 .
Ada Annie Brock dublin north births jan-mar 1903 volume 2 page 462 , think this is her .
gonna order birth cert to be sure .
shes my grandads sister ! whom ive never herd of .
question is what happend to her ? die , marry , run away ?
my grandads dead so no answers there .
her dad was james brock mother delia mcnamara .
had 1911 census for ages and just rechecked how many children born and how many alive
4 and 4 but only 3 kids named on census , kickin myself !

Hi there,
You could try the 1939 electoral register for Dublin on dublinheritage.ie to see if she's still in Dublin and going by her maiden name in 1939. It's probably a longshot but worth a look!!

What about the 1924 marriage for Ada Brock in Dublin North registration district (same area as birth for Ada Annie Brock in 1903)?
