Lookup request for James William Reilly
« on: Thursday 26 December 24 01:26 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for James birth record. On James railway employment his date of birth was recorded as 21 Jan 1878. He moved about a lot with his job, Armagh in 1901, Antrim in 1911.  Married in Dublin in 1926 Winifred Millicent Blair.  Died Belfast 20 April 1943.  He worked up to his death.  His Father’s name was Edward Reilly which is on his marriage certificate.  The two census state he was born in Co. Cavan. 

Any Help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Stewart, Reilly, Montgomery, Cheshire, Lyttle, Rankin, Apthorpe, Hart, Anderson,  Gourley

Have you looked at this family in your research?
Edward and Matilda Reilly (Warner)
https://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cavan/Belturbet/Chapel_Road/1061861/

Edward died 1914

Unknown Reilly born to Edward and Matilda - birth date 21st January 1877 (not 1878 though)

I have checked deaths in case the child died soon after birth but haven’t found one. You might want to double check.

In 1911 census, Matilda states 10 children born and 9 still living.

Good find, Wexflyer and adds to the possibility.
Is that a Church of Ireland baptism ?
Is it a transcription - just wondering re the month.

Yes, CofI, and yes transcription. OP will need RootsIreland subscription to see all details - but no link to original.
