Hipparchus Dolan

[captainjackdi]

This name is shown on a marriage certificate as being the father of James Dolan born in Ireland around 1865, occupation shown as Mariner but living in Poplar, London, marrying Alice Mary Tucker in 1884.

Not sure where in Ireland he came from but know James was a Catholic. 

Know it's difficult to locate Irish locality but thought as his father Hipparchus was an unusual name, I would be able to locate where in Ireland came from but having no luck so far. 

Any ideas gratefully received.

Hi cannot locate any Dolan with christian name of Hipparchus (Greek origin) but you could look at www.irishgenealogy.ie Civil Records for James Dolans birth reg.  There are 42 entries between 1864/1867 in various locations in Ireland.  Good luck

Unfortunately, civil registration of births only started in 1864 so if James Dolan was born before that date there will be no birth registration although certainly worth checking the site ballydw posted to be sure.

Did James Dolan live in England until at least 1939? if so, worth checking 1939 register for an exact date of birth. If he died earlier but was there in 1911 census there's a chance a more exact place of birth than 'Ireland' would be listed. (We aren't allowed to do look-ups for either of those resources).

Hello,

Does James marry again to Kate Caroline Meakins? If so, is his father' name the same?
