Westport Co. Mayo
« on: Sunday 18 February 07 01:00 UTC (UK) »
I believe my Grandparents came from Westport Co. Mayo and my late father William "Bill" ILEY still has family there.

I think my Grandmothers name was Mary O'Shea and my Grandfather was John ILEY.

They left for Manchester where I believe my Father and his Siblings were born.

My Father, William Dever ILEY was born in Manchester 1922.

I know he had brothers and sisters but I don't know if any were born whilst my Grandparents were still in Westport.
It's very probable that they were not married at the time of the 1901 census.

I only know the name of one of my fathers sisters and she was called Kathleen.

Thank you

Hello Donna
I dont think theres much you can do only search the BMDs for other births to Iley with mothers maiden name O Shea.If they married in Ireland you will have to look up the marriage certificate there.Someone did put a website up on here a while back.Maybe you could ask for a lookup on Ireland boards
Sorry not much help,but Im in same boat as you looking for Barretts in Westport

Hi Donna.  Have you found your father's birth certificate?  It should give the name of his mother and father.  You can work back from that.  It's a start.  If you have any other details that you can put on here it will help widen the search.

Hi Dee
I don't actually have a copy but it makes sense to get one.
I'm going to have a chat with my sister and she what she knows or can remember.
Thanks

Donna.  I have found a birth certificate for the following:

Oct-Dec 1922  William D Iley (Mother's name - Taylor)
Vol. No. 8d   Page no. 333

Does this make any sense?  They mother's maiden name of Taylor?

My father was Born,  4th September 1922.  I was always led to believe his mother's maiden name was O'Shea.  I wonder whether I'm mistaken in thinking that.  Family wasn't talked about whilst my mother was alive, mainly because Dad had a "past" and she was his second wife! 

Where would I find a copy of the Birth Certificate?
Is it possible over the net ?

Hello Donna.  You can order the certificates from the Govt website.  You need to register and can also pay on line.  I noticed that you said your father was born in the Sept of 1922.  The birth is registered in the last quarter Oct-Dec.  Maybe the birth was registered late.  I would advise you to check it before you order.  When ordering you have to quote the 'quarter' of the birth and also the Volume No and page No.

Certificates:
www.gro.gov.uk

To search for bmd's (paid site you need to buy units. You will also have to register first)

www.findmypast.com

I hope this is of some help to you.  If you need more assistance, just ask.  Everyone on this site is so helpful.

Regards

Hello Donna,
just saw this posting - was away for your original one. Don't know if this is any use at all but I was looking at 1901 census at http://www.leitrim-roscommon.com
where there are a few Dever families in Westport - noticed your dad's name and wondered if there was a connection.
There are no Ileys at all around Westport by the looks of it.
best wishes

Hi Donna    Your fathe's marriage license should also have his mother's maiden name on it.  Is it possible for you to get that?

If marriage took place in Ireland only father's name and occupation will be listed- and I believe English certificates are the same. Birth certificate should list both parents.
