Address/RC church questions. And Gordon (or Gordan) Street, Ringsend?

Okay, yes I was assuming she did. I know that isn't necessarily the case, though.

Did you notice that the informant for Anne's birth in 1885 was a Lynch?

Birth of Anne Reilly, daughter of Anne Reilly, in 1909, in the Workhouse, Kells.

In 1905, there is an "Unknown" illegitimate male child born to Mary Reilly, of Kells, in the Rotunda in Dublin. Mary, Anne's sister?

Wow, you're good!!

And it's good to know that, at least in the Reilly family, Bernard and Bryan are used interchangeably. (I do have a Bryan Reilly in my tree born in 1803 in Kildalkey. I've seen the name Bernard Reilly too.)

In terms of the Lynch informant, no I didn't notice! Although, I think it is a coincidence. Originally I thought Thomas Lynch may have adopted Joseph because he was a relative's child, but I discovered that the Lynch family had had tons of nurse children prior to Joseph, at one point being denied more. Joseph was with another woman initially, and the only reason he ended up with the Lynch family is because that woman's husband died and she already had a couple young kids of her own, so she couldn't foster anymore.

 Above is the death of a Julia Lynch of  Newcastle Kells Co Meath aged 82 in 1923 whose death was reported by a Joe (or Jas?) Reilly.

There are a few Julia Lynchs in Kells/Co Meath and it may be a coincidence.

Julia Lynch was godmother to several of the Reilly children IIRC

I've seen this before, for instance in the birth of Brian (later Bryan) Malone in 1888, his father, who's Bryan in the 1901 and 1911 censuses, is listd as Bernard.

Irish names like Brian required the priests to become inventive with their Latin translation - Bernard or Barnaby were both used for Brian.
