Marriage & birth Dalkey

[dalkey mc]

Looking for the marriage of John & Mary McDonald 1907 & birth of John(junior) in 1909 approx.They are on the 1911 census in Dalkey.John (junior) died in 1970 in Germany & on his death cert it says he was born 8th December 1909 in Wexford but we dont know if this correct as when he was taken to Germany he was very ill & may have been confused.

Do you know Mary's maiden name ?

It would make a marriage search much easier..

For reference this looks like the return for the family in 1911

  McDonald household, St. Patricks Ave, Dalkey
 
Parents John and Mary born Co. Dublin and Co. Meath respectively. Sons John (age 3yrs) and Patrick (age 9 mon) born Dalkey.

I'd say Patrick might be the place to start as his age is likely the most accurate. 9 months before the census puts his birth around the end of June / beginning of July 1910. The district for Dalkey is Rathdown..

There's only seems to be one match during 1910 ... a little later than June/July, but he could have been registered late :

  Name: Patrick McDonald
  Registration district: Rathdown
  Event type: Birth
  Quarter and year: Oct-Dec 1910
  Volume: 2 / Page: 799

John's birth is a little more difficult - he's 3 on the census so a year of birth maybe between 1907 and 1909. Four possible matches for him - two with middle name Joseph, one with Peter as a middle name.

See : John McDonald births, Rathdown

When you get more info this 1901 census may be worth looking at:

I'm not saying it is him but there are a few similarities:

Rough age / occupation

My own family name is Mc Donnell and has changed backwards and forwards from McDonnell / McDonald LOTS over the years

Thanks Shane,sorry but we dont know Marys maiden name,but will send for Patricks
birth cert.

Thanks Tara,I did wonder if the name may have changed over the years.

On my in-laws marriage cert it said she lived in the Commercial Hotel Dun Laoghaire,any idea where it was?is,my husband can't place it.(meant to say mother-in-law)

Big thanks to gro Roscommon sent for cert on 18th & received it today 25th,speedy service especially as that included a weekend.

There is a marriage for John M'Donnell RATHDOWN Jul-Sep 1907 Vol2 Page 860 with a match to a Mary M'Guiness
You could keep this in mind as John based on census stating married 4 years in 1911
If Patrick's mother's maiden name matches

IF IF IF it does turn out to be Mary McGuinness this MIGHT be her in 1901
