Kilroy & O'Neil Leeds early 1920's
« on: Friday 14 March 25 11:14 GMT (UK) »
I know that Sheila Kilroy was born in Leeds in 1925. I am looking for information on her parents and siblings. Not sure of father's name and where and when born. His wife was an O'Neil.

You can look for a marriage for her parents using Free BMD index.

Put in the surnames Kilroy and O’Neil around the time of her birth. 

You can search for births of any siblings in the same way using those two surnames.

Note her birth is registered with mother’s name O’Neill.  The birth certificate will confirm parents names.

Didn't you check free bmd for that info?  Parental marriage easily found on freebmd.  You can use that info to find them on the 1911 census to find birth details etc

Thank you. I have gone through all the normal BMDs. Perhaps the only answer will be a birth certificate for Sheila Kilroy, born Leeds l1925.

Hi
Yes a very large family.
Parents Jim Kilroy and Sarah O'Neill married Leeds June qtr 1905
Then we have
 James 1906
Joihn Patrick 1908
Mary 1910
Thomas 26.7. 1912
Delia Mar 1914
Margaret 17.2.1916
Henry 1917-1918
Joseph 1918
Agnes 3.10.1919
Winifred 1.11.1920
Sarah 31.8.1922
Kathleen 12.12.1923
Shelia 21.1.1925
Patricia ( I won't put the date just in case she is still alive)

1901 census 3 Stanhope st Leeds
John O Neill 56 lab Cork Ireland
Sarah 40 Petersfield Hampshire
Sarah 15 Cork Bandor
Mary 13 Fareham
Patrick 6 Surrey
John Kilroy boarder single 26 lab Aghamore (MAYO)
Paffy Burke boarder 21 Cork

So it looks like she married the lodger.

Ciderdrinker

PS John O Neill seems to have married Sarah Brech/Breach in Guildford June qtr 1879 .So that shoud get their fathers names on that side.
And daughter Sarah O'neill birth cert at Bandon Cork 1885

Fantastic, I had gone through all the normal avenues. Just not far enough back. Just need to find Kenneth Wilkinson's parents and sibling records. Kenneth was born Leeds 1922.
