Thanks so much for all that! I will go over all these interesting leads first thing.

Buxton Buildings is definitely correct (I remember my mother mentioning that address).

According to my DNA result on Ancestry (25% Irish), I should have family in Galway/Connemara – so I'm wondering if I can find an actual family link there.

Many thanks again!

Trying to establish if William Henry was born in england of irish parents but cannot find a birth or census pre 1881

[RobinHighbury]

Having looked at the census for 1911 and 1921, I don't think she's in either one. The relatives are not those of my grandmother, I'm pretty certain.

Is this not the birth then of Mary Catherine??

[RobinHighbury]

Don't think so. Her daughter, Mary Katherine, was born in 1909 in Holborn.

We are talking about the sister Mary Catherine of Ellen louisa, not a daughter of Ellen Louisa.

Sorry, her daughter was Mary Katherine. Concerning Ellen, I understand that names are not always correct, but she is most often down as Ellen Louise Tavener (originally Connolly). So, I wonder if Ellen Louisa Connelly is the same?
