On the 1901 the family name is recorded as O'Farrell but the 'O' was dropped on the 1911.

Apparently this was quite common?

A few years back, I was researching a friend's family - she was an O'Reilly.
The surname was constantly changing with the prefix either there or not :-\

So, I asked a few questions, and was told this was fairly normal?

1921 Canada, Ancestry she is listed as Delia.. husband ‘Michael Preteau’ but to be fair the wring is not clear on the image. They have 4 children. Her husband is listed a being born in Ireland.

Great find - as you say the writing is virtually illegible.

She also seems to be on someone's Family Tree. There are several filmed public documents. According to these documents she remarried as a widow - and was recorded as Delia Bridget O'Farrell.

Again according to this person's documents - she died in 1936. There is a translation of her death - showing her parents as 'Thomas O'Farrell and of Devaney - wife of William Virtue'.

I would have thought by now they would have introduced DNA testing into the program, especially as they were looking at an illegitimate person, would be a good advertisement for Ancestry :)

McKillop is not a name you hear alot in Scotland. It brought back such a strong memory of a peripatetic music teacher who came to my rural primary school. Mr. McKillop had a 'tin leg' and when we were in the infants class seated on the floor round the piano the dare was to touch it without being caught. I was never brave enough and used to get so anxious about the naughty ones.
Goodness knows where that memory was stored in my brain, haven't thought about it for 40 plus years, I expect that's why I have no brain space left  ;D

Me too...there are enough ways already to legally pick our pockets in this game...Genealogy is not an exact science and in my opinion, it never will be!
