Elizabeth Hickey. c1819 Tipperary

Hello Scouse & Shanew147
if the family were RC then there's a very good chance the mother's maiden name will be recorded but in earlier C of I records quite often it was mother's first name only. I've had this problem on some of my ancestors. Maybe older English records are the same?

Hi agho

I dont think there's been any mention of the family religion, but I am guessing that it's more likely that this Hickey family might be RC ?

I have some quite old RC baptism records for my own family that mention mother's maiden name but that detail is missing as you said for some CofI/Presbyterian ancestors. I have two particular CofI baptism certs (1840s) that dont include mother's maiden name. In one case the actual church records do include this, in the other the original records do not survive.
 
If it was my family I would persevere and look for the Liverpool baptism anyway just to be sure... might be cheaper then purchasing all the possible IFHF records

I agree shanew147 that the chance of success in Liverpool is much better than in Ireland & that's where I'd pursue the quest also.
Scouse have you tried following the eldest daughter Elizabeth to see if she mentions anywhere where she was born .. marriage record might lead you to a later census?

Hi Shane & agho.

Shane, read your post on the Lancs forum, hopefully Carole will answer your question, she's been a great help to me in the past, and with a surname like Smith you need all the help you can get.

Agho, I will get back to you later on any marriage details, I will have to sift through my paperwork, to see what I can find.

Thanks for keeping an interest, kind regards  Scouse

I have a John Hickey c1819 from Ireland, he married in Reading Berkshire, he had 10 children that I know of, one married into my family Agnes Hickey was RC.
On the 1871 census John Hickey ,wife and children upsticks to Liverpool, so may be they
were related?

Hi Louisa.

Unforetunately I never got any further on my Hickey look-up, but as you say there may be some kind of connection in Liverpool, don't think we will ever find out though.

Kind regards  Scouse.

Hi Scouse,
On the free BMD there are many Hickey's in Liverpool, they must be related?

Hi Scouse,

I have a John Hickey who was sponsor to the baptism of Maria Finn, daughter of John Finn and Elizabeth Shaughnessy in Thurles Tipperary on the 27/5/1834.
I hope this may help in some way.

Ann.
