Hi Sinann

There was an earlier Gottlieb Simon Kirchner.

The newspaper articles that I saw were for the 1790's.

The death of a Simon Kirchner of Thomas Street, Limerick in 1824, Cabinet Maker.

Given that the other Louisa Kirchner married in St. Michael's, Limerick I wonder might there have been a change of religion.

I suggest you start to trawl though their records to see if you can find any other Kirchners there !

Hi

The ages on the 1841 census, are rounded up or down by 5 years

I have a Marie McKercher marrying in Dublin in 1825 in my tree.  I thought the name suggested Scottish background.

It was mentioned earlier that there is a record of Margaret Kirchener marrying Patrick Gahagan of in 1830 at St. Michael’s Limerick. She is described as a widow and I believe had been Simon’s wife. In the 1841 census Patrick is to be found working as a tailor in Swansea with his wife Margaret and some children. Also in the household is someone transcribed as Louisa Kirknon of an age which fits with the Louisa Kirchner who marries Samuel Parker in 1848 in Swansea. I have checked the name Kirknon and it appears nowhere else! I believe Louisa was the son of Simon Kirchener the cabinet maker and that because he had died her elder brother Benjamin - who had moved to England and who was also a cabinetmaker - stood in for him.
