Thomas Buckley... You have me baffled

[sezzle]

i havent a clue

i have no info of the family other than thomas jnrs children and i had thought names would run through...
his children are John Thomas 1903, Mary Catherine 1905, James Henry 1908, Elizabeth 1916 and Bridget Buckley (1920) Bridget snr died in 1920 during childbirth.
There is also a possible Margaret but i cant find a record of her, she would be younger than John and Mary though as they were born in Limerick.
My gran remembers her mum Mary wasnt allowed out with aunt marg because she was a bad influence (according to marys husband)

After he remarried he went on to have Ada and William Henry Buckley.

so going off the name theory.....
its possible that as theres an Elizabeth and a Mary (but bridgets mum was a mary too)

gah im baffling myself again

do you think the irish marriage record would have his uk address or the place he was staying over there?

The Irish Cert should have his Irish address and occupation.

You have the idea that he was connected to the army - hopefully that would show.

I didn't check the actual 1901 census earlier so the ones I mentioned  - listed as ' T B' initials only have those occupations mentioned before enlistment.
The various regiments there seem to be Lancers and Yorkshire regiments so that's not much help.

im wondering if he went there as a labourer and just got married at the barracks, but the family thought barracks meant he was military?

i dont know
Ada is still alive but very senile so the little information i have actually comes from her, and no one seems to like questioning her any further

It's difficult. I would now go for that Irish certificate and see what transpires.

Good luck - do you have all the details?
