Darby--Athboy

[thelink]

I wonder if anyone has any information on a family called Darby in Athboy.
I think John Darby married  a  Jacob from Kildare.   They may have had a shop on the main street. 
Any info welcome.

you didn't mention any approx. years for your Darby family....

there is a family with surname Darby, occupation shopkeepers listed in Athboy on the 1911 census.

 see : Darby household, Market St, Athboy

looking at the OSI map from the 1890s, Market street seems to be the old name for the main street.

Father John and wife Annie are both born in Co. Meath and son John, age 16 on the census, is a Chemist Apprentice.

here's a possible cross-match for the marriage - and it's in Co. Kildare :

 Name: John Darby
 Registration District: Naas
 Event Type: Marriage
 Quarter and Year: Apr - Jun 1878
 volume : 2 / page : 709

 Name: Anne Jacob
 [same index details]

I had a look for the familiy on the 1901 census and it shows Co. Kildare as Annie's place of birth :

 Darby household, Market St, Athboy - 1901

Good.. Im pretty sure this is the one.
My grandmother  Elizabeth Lawlor  nee Jacob  came to live in Athboy probably mid 1880s.
She was born in Kildare  1878 I think.   
The question is  from where in Kildare did she come from to Athboy.
Ive heard she came from Nurney but I cannot be sure and this the bit of info Id like to get.

Thanks in advance

A marriage cert will give you more details which should help your search (e.g. father's name & occupation, residence of the bride and groom etc), especially if she was living at home at the time.

Have you searched Kildare for possible births already ?
I was looking at the mention of 1878.... Anne/Annie was born before Civil registration (c1859 to c1861)

see : Details included on a Marriage Cert

....
My grandmother  Elizabeth Lawlor  nee Jacob
....

p.s. Who is Elizabeth -  Anne/Annie sister ?

Thanks for reply. 
Here is what I know at the moment..............
My GGM was Roseanna   Jacob  from Drumsru Kildare. She married Thomas Lawlor KIldare 1867 . They had two or poss. three children one of them was Elizabeth Lawlor born 1868/9 . They lived in Newbridge.
It seems that both  Rosanna and husband Thomas died mid 1870s. leaving infants.
My grandmother Elizabeth always said she was from Nurney. .
I know she stayed in Athboy (Darbys shop I think)
Anne Jacob   Nurney  married John Darby . .... There could be a connection. 
I want to know if there is a connection for sure and if so where in Nurney did Elizabeth live before
she moveed to Athboy.

Tks.















So there it is.....

Marriage certs for Elizabeth and Anne sound like they way to proceed. If the father's name and occupation on both are the same then they are probably sisters - if not you would have to check wider for a connection (e.g. if the fathers for Elizabeth & Annie are brothers). Since Annie's marriage took place in Kildare it could be that her residence on the cert will be a home address...

Have you already located the marriage for Elizabeth ?

Yes  I think I should look for Annies marriage cert.  I got Elizabeths cert but there is no Kildare addr. shown.
