Brilliant! I wonder if Kathleen was 'Kitty'?
'Fanny' - Frances?

one of the daughters shown on the 1911 census return mentioned earlier by myluck! was a Francis age 18, so would have been old enough to be married and have a vote by 1939.

sorry - mixed the names up... that Frances could have been John's wife or single daughter...

I am wondering if Fanny/Frances was the single daughter and the 'Bridie' my friend's mother remembers was actually the mother i.e. Bridget and not a sister. She can't remember the name of the mother (i.e. her grandmother) at all.

there's a possibility for a marriage for Catherine in 1923 as follows :

  name:   Catherine Hoare
  registration district:   Dublin North
  event type:   Marriage
  quarter and year:   Apr-Jun 1923
  volume : 2 / Page:   359

there's a cross-match to a Denis Kearns...

That looks very compelling.

Have you looked at other voters' lists?

[evjanderson]

I have now had time to really sit down and look at this properly. Thanks all so much. I really think you are all on the right lines and it's the correct family.
The 1908 John Hoare marriage is wrong as I found a John Hoare (a widower) living with his parents in law who are Tiernans so the 1911 census and that makes the match for that marriage Mary Ann Tiernan.
So it's going to be one of those Bridgets matching the John Hore and a 1908 marriage.
I'll let you know what that birth certificate says (though I am prepared for it to be the wrong one!).

1939 is the only one available online at the moment. You can search Dublin City Electoral registers for other years in Dublin City Library, Pearse St.
