Rosina LEARY

[lizdb]

If she married in 1855, and died in 1920 age 86, it is looking as if sh ewas born before Civil Registration began in 1837, so there will not be a birth cert for her. It will be a case of looking for a christening for her (if she was christened)

Have you found her on any censuses after her marriage? They will give an indication of where and when she said she was born, which will give a starting place.

There is this possible Death;

Matthew LEARY, September 1838, I of Wight, 8 129

There has to be a reason Rosina and sibling/s ( cant remember how many from the other thread) ended up in the Workhouse. The Mother may have had to leave them there if she was unable to support them as a Widow.

There is a Marriage;
Margaret LEARY, September 1840, Alverstoke, 7 39
May be related or not.
As we have no idea of Mother Margarets date or place of birth it is almost impossible to check out all the possible spouses on that Reg .


As Rosina was 9 in 1841 Census and 18 in 1851 there will be no Birth Cert for her as she was born before Civil Reg began.

Her Sister Hannahs Christening found on the other thread is the only possible lead so far other than Census and Certs you have.

There is a baptism for an Elizabeth Leary in 1818 in the catholic records of St James, Winchester, father Matthew Leary, mother Martha Clevell.

Matthew Leary married Martha Clevell at St John, Winchester 21 Aug 1821.

Matthew was 44 when he died in 1838.

Hope this helps.
