Doyle + Kavanagh

[Aussie_trekkie]

I have Michael Kavanagh married Mary Doyle about 1898 . I found a record and it gives the parents as Thomas Doyle +Ann Behan. . In the 1901 census I found the family living in Queens Sq. Thomas is there  but his wife is dead. Now I searched for the daughters Ann &Francis but I have found possible 2 Mothers, Bridget Kenna or Ann Behan . how can I work out if Ann Behan is mother of my Mary Doyle

[myluck!]

I had a look at the marraige records and it clearly states Mary's parents as Thomas DOYLE and Anne BEHAN - why are you doubting this fact?

There are three births in the 1870s to Thomas and Ann BEHAN on Irishgenealogy
Francisa in 1873; Emilia in 1874; and Maria Brigida in 1876
These are all in St Lawrence's Church which is in the north of the city
The addresses are close to Dublin Port  which sounds correct as Thomas described himself as a sailor in 1901
He was living at 48.2 Queens Square which is now known as Pearse Square; it is just south of the city and still in the general docks area.

The baptisms to Thomas and Bridget KENNA are all at south city addresses and churches which are situated more central to the city.

requesting a birth certificate for one of Thomas and Bridget Kenna's children and one of Thomas and Ann Behan's should show one with Thomas' occupation as sailor or related; unless you are very unfortunate and they both are!

Not all records are online which could account for not finding further records
Hope this helps alittle to clarify for you

Hi there,

I found some more baptisms for Thomas Doyle and Anne Behan - all at St. Lawrence's Church, Dublin.

Batism. St. Lawrences' Church
Name ANNA DOYLE 
Date of Birth 19 February 1868 
Address 14 JANE PLACE 
Father THOMĀ DOYLE 
Mother ANNĀ BAYNES  (wrongly transcribed)

Name SUSAN HELENA DOYLE 
Date of Birth 29 June 1859 
Address 25 COMMONS ST 
Father THOMAS DOYLE 
Mother ANNA BEHAN 

Name ANNA MARIA DOYLE 
Date of Birth 29 December 1863 
Address 25 COMMON ST 
Father THOMAS DOYLE 
Mother ANNA BEHAN 

Name MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER DOYLE 
Date of Birth 7 February 1861 
Address 25 COMMONS ST 
Father THOMAS DOYLE 
Mother ANNA BEHAN 

Name GEORGIUS DOYLE 
Date of Birth 29 October 1865 
Address 6 ALBERT COTTAGES CHURCH ROAD 
Father THOAS DOYLE 
Mother ANNA BEHAN 

Also, I know Doyle is a common name but in 1869 when Thomas Doyle was in 14 Jane Place - next door to him in 12 Jane Place was a Michael Doyle having children too - may be a coincidence but may have been a brother and MAY be worth looking into !

There was also a Catherine Doyle from Jane Place who married Richard O'Hara in 1878 in St. Lawrence's. Her parents are listed as Michael & Anne Doyle. Again could be a total coincidence.

Thank you both for the information. I am still unsure if I Ann Behan  is the mother of my Mary Doyle. The other Doyles were at St Andrews and the Kavanagh's lived in this parish . The family story is that the GGM was from the north side which fits with St Lawrence Parish but ? 
There were also 2 sets of Michael & Mary Kavanagh living in the Clarence st area in the 1901 census.  I believe the couple born in Arklow were Michael's parents.
The Doyles were living at Queens Sq too in the Parish of St Andrews in 1901. The wife is dead, as it list Thomas as a widower and the girls Francis and Anna are single. Mary & Michael her husband with my gf baby Michael are living there too.
I will have to get a copy of the marriage cert and see if it gives anymore details about the parents. I just have a feeling that the 1898 marriage listed in Irish genealogy.ie is not the correct one. I will alos try and get copies of Birthcerts as you suggested. Again Thanks for the help.
