Catherine(Kathleen) Burbridge

[noland01]

Hi
I am trying to trace some people on my wife's fathers side of the family.
Firstly the little bit we know and maybe it rings a bell with someone or matches up with some information someone has uncovered.

Catherine (Kathleen) O’Connor (nee Burbridge)  died in early 1970s. She married Edward O Connor and they are both buried in Deansgrange along with a son Edward. There is a vague family memory of another son (possibly Willie) married and living in Dublin.

Catherine(Kathleen)  had one sister I know of – Lil Casey  (may not have been her actual given name) who lived in Boyne Street, Dublin 2  Lil had a daughter called Lily also.

Kathleen had a daughter Mary (May) O Connor (born 1917 and died 30th March 1974 aged 57).

May married James (Jim) O’Neill  (born 1911 and died 2nd March 1961 aged 50 years).  He worked for Carton Brothers and moved to Sandwith Street from Boyne Street after getting married.

They had 5 children.  Two died early in childhood and are buried in the Angels Plot in Glasnevin (as far as we know).  Three lived until adulthood – William (Liam) O’Neill (born 1938 and died 1979)  Angela O’Neill (Johnston) (born 1942 and died 1991) and Eamon O’Neill (born 1946 and died 2010) all now deceased. The boys went to school in Westland Row and Angela went to school in Loretto on Stephen’s Green

May worked in Johnny’s shop next door to the house on Sandwith Street.

Looking at the 1901 Census there seems to be only two families of Burbridges in Dublin. One lived at Warrenmount Place, Merchants Quay, Dublin 2 (Richard and Mary Ann with their 4 sons and 2 daughters)  and the other family lived at Daniel Street, Wood Quay, Dublin 2 (George and Catherine and their 3 daughters).

In the 1911 Census Richard and Mary Ann Burbridge are living at Malpas Terrace, Merchants Quay with their youngest daughter Kathleen Joseph Burbridge.  The son Martin J Burrbridge is living at William Street South with his wife. The other four are not on the Census.

The other family (George and Catherine) are now living in Lennox Street and their daughters are moved out and don’t appear under the Burbridge name on the Census.

Seeing as this is such an unusual name (2 families in Dublin, 2 in Leitrim and 1 in Cork) I was hoping someone may have some information. Apologies for the long post.  All information or suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading.   Denis.

Hi there,

I have a Thomas Casey in my family tree somewhere. He was related to my great-grandmother, Mary Ann Burbidge. He actually worked out how our families were connected while he was still alive and contacted us out of the blue a few years back! Unfortunately I don't have access to his records so I may be wrong in saying that Mary Ann's father had a sister who married into the Casey family but thats my guess anyway. I still have to find out exactly how his family are related to us. But if I find out any more info I will let you know. Also, sometimes the name Burbidge is recorded as Burbridge and vice versa. They seem to be variations of the same name. When Mary Ann was married, her name was recorded as 'Burbridge' as was her father's name on his birth record. I hope this helps.

Regards,

Colleen

There also appear to be BORb(r)idge variants in the church records (and some in the census too).

Hi again Denis,

I've found out that my g-g grandfather had a sister called Kate Burbidge, but from what i know that was the name she was given at birth, not Catherine. I believe she may have called herself Kathleen though, since there are no marriages anywhere for a Kate Burbidge but there are several for Kathleen Burbidge in Dublin. Also, her sister Elizabeth, who was known as Lily, did marry Thomas Casey in 1919. It was their son who traced us previously. I don't know if this will help you or not but i hope it does. I will keep looking into it so if you need any more info on the family just give me a shout.

I am researching the name Borbidge (and variants).  My 5x Great Grandparents were Frances Borbidge and Andrew Webb.  They married before 1800.  All their known children were born in Co. Wicklow apart from my 4x Great Grandmother, Jane Webb, who may have been born in Dublin as she was baptised in 1801 in St. Paul's Church of Ireland Parish, Dublin, so there may have been a Dublin connection.

I am descended from Martin Burbridge you mention. My family were not big into history but thought they came from Roscommon or up that way a border county originally. They never mentioned Dublin relatives other than immediate family. I have looked and it looks like they came from Leitrim where there were loads of Burbridges

BTW they hated it if people did as someone here suggested looked up the phone book and called them. They always brushed the people off. I think a letter fair enough but not a call

Sorry if not of help. Burbridge is not as far as I know a variation or Burbidge two different names

Hi.

There is a Mary Anne O'Connor living in no.5 Malpas Terrace in the late 1930's. Could she be related to your search?

Hi Denis.

There was a Richard and Mary Anne Bur(b)ridge living on Mount Argus Road in the late 1930's. In the same house, there was a Richard James Burbridge.
