An Oliver Ledwith, age 68, died in 1883. I'm pretty sure he was the Oliver Ledwith (or Ledwidge) from Mabbot St. (on the north side of the city), listed in the 1851 census as Ledwith, Oliver, 32 Mabbott St (parish of St Thomas in the North inner city) (carpenter)

He would have been born around 1815. It's very likely he would have had a son called Oliver. So I'd suggest that the Oliver who married in St. Andrew's in 1873 would likely be his son.

While perusing the Db I noticed that Oliver Ledwich and Rosanna Doyle were god-parents to Eliza Ledwich, born to John Ledwich/Eliza Barker in 1826, Dublin south. My own ggggrandmother was Anne Doyle, who married Richard Ledwidge, lived also Dublin south. Just wondering whether these Doyles (and consequently, the Ledwidge/che/s) were related.

That could be the link but with so little documentation its hard to prove.
The Oliver Ledwith/dge from Mabbot st, I thought he was born in 17something, which I would of thought would make him a bit old to have a young son 1853.

As i have been writing this, it struck me , there seems to be a run of Olivers;
1. Oliver Ledwith B 1782 St.Pauls
2.  Oliver ledwith B.c1815  D. 1883 age68
3.   Oliver Ledwidge B.c1835 went to Eng. D. 1902
4.    Oliver Ledwidge B.c1853  M.1873

Do we see a pattern emerging or am I clutching at straws. The documentation linking all these just isn't there. Someone with a familly bible would come in handy about now.

No need to bump up your post- if someone can help they will post on this thread but since the information you'd like to find is pre-civil registration such records might not exist.

    G'day all I have been looking for about 2 years for my GGF Oliver Ledwidge ,today I went back to the irishgenealogy site and entererd his name and up he came!!!
Oliver married Maria (mary)Daly at St.Nicholas 07/06/1856

Then a Baptism for Oliver 12/11/1833 St. Catherine  F. John Ledwidge  M. Eliz Barker.
Census records had Oliver as a birth year of 1835 but late 33 is 95%right
Got to keep looking now for John & Eliz
Show the value of continuing to go over old ground, you never know what will pop up.
Thanks for the help over this time!
