looking for information on Sophey [Sophie] gilbert bron 1899.

I'm still working on the Gilbert family and have lots of bits and pieces to send you but it doesn't look like David Gilbert is related.

When he died 25 May 1890 (Irish Genealogy have wrong link to registration so I had to search manually) it was in Cahir Barracks which comes under Clogheen registration district. Son Ernest died a few days later and is the next death registered. David is described as Army pensioner.

Son William was born in Sept.1890 also at Cahir Barracks-

Hi  aghadowey,
Thank you for the info on David and Ernst.  I will file them away as "known but not related".   

Question:- Was there a Barracks anywhere in Dorset about 1870  and would Sally have received a pension . The 1891 Census has her as "living on own means". 
The rest of this lot are slowly working out, including a David who is part of the family.   More on that when I have it all sorted.   

Thank you again,
 Essnell.

I think there's a bit of confusion about this David Gilbert. Seems he married J/M 1872 in Woodbridge reg. dist. which is Suffolk. Tree on Ancestry (I can't see full details) says born Suffolk and died Cork. Marriage registration should list father's name and occupation if information was given but not sure if available anywhere online.

I agree about the confusion.  Originally I had David with Sarah [Sally] Manning married in 1872  Woodbridge.

Then I found a reference to them being in Moor Crichel, Dorset in 1871. I found all their children including William and then that brought up Clogheen. 
 Then the death of David in 1890  also in Clogheen.  Then Sara is back in York in 1872.   I could not find this David's father or his birth.   However he may have been born in 1840 which makes him about 32 when he married. 

   I thought he may have been a son of one of the brothers related to Mark Gilbert.   Mark actually has a brother David who was born in 1828.  This one never left Dorset.  He married Bethia Isaacs in 1848.    and they had about ten children   So he isn't an issue.

It's the other one.    I am going to cheeck something ..... be back aasap
