O'Connor (Connor)

[Norman583]

I'm looking for baptisms of children of George O'Connor and Mary Mulroy born between 1881 and 1891 in Windy Nook, Gateshead. They are Roman Catholic so I assume St Joseph's Felling is the most likely place of baptism.

[DORAN54]

hello ,  may I ask do you have the names of the children already and you want to find baptisms

or is it  you want to find any children baptised to those parents?

there is a death for George  O'Connor  2nd Q 1890 Gateshead durham  vol 10a page 473  age 41

maybe that's why I can't see him in the 1891 census but I will have another look

I see mary remarried 1894 to james mcknough at Gateshead  and seems she died 1901 after the census    .she had a child with james   Michael b 1894.

I can find her childrens birth but can't seem to find any christening's

Thanks but I already have all of the census information. The McKnough spelling is wrong and should read Mckeough. Mary Mulroy married her brother-in-law James McKeough, my gr grandfather after both their spouses died. James's McKeough's sister Mary married James O Connor who was the brother of George and also of James McKeough's first wife Margaret.  The issue I have is that the names of the children in the "McKnough" household in 1901 do not match with Mary Mulroy's children. In fact they look like a mixture of James O'Connor and Mary McKeough's children and George O'Connor and Mary Mulroy's. Apart from purchasing a lot of certificates the parish records are likely to shed most light hence my asking for the look up.

By the way my grandfather James McKeough's wife was a Doran.

Norman

hi yes I can see what you mean with the  1901 but I couldn't find any christenings but that doesn't mean some one won't as you know there are lots of good people on here.

my dorans are from Armagh ireland

Thanks. I may need to pay a visit to the Tyne and Wear Archives as relevant church records can be found there. My Dorans hail from Co Monaghan.
