I've just discovered that my great-grandmother was one Bridget McInerney, born 1885 in Limerick, daughter of a Samuel McInerney, who was a carpenter. She married Harold foster in 1908, and had a daughter called Mary Margaret Foster in 1909, still in Limerick, and also a son around 1914 called Gerald Patrick Foster. They later moved to Leeds. Harold was an english soldier at the local barracks, the same age as her. I've had no luck beyond finding a marriage record for Bridget and Harold and a birth record for Mary. I assume Samuel McInerney would have been born between 1840 and 1865. On the marriage record, the witnesses are one John McInerney of 4 Roches Row, Limerick and one Mary Greene of 12 Bowman Street. Bridget's address was given as Mt Pleasant Avenue (Harold's was the barracks). They were married at St Joseph's RC, apparently. Samuel was dead by the time of the marriage, but I don't know what year he died. I also don't know what relation John McInerney is, but I suspect uncle or cousin. Possibly brother, of course. Could be the same John mentioned above, even!
Does this sound like anyone on anyone else's tree? Any info appreciated!
(I posted this in reply to another thread but thought it might be better in it's own thread, so apologies if this causes confusion)
thanks
Andy Foster

from Slaters commercial directory 1881 :
Michael McInerney & Sons, carpenters & wheelwrights - Milltown Malbay
could be connected to Samuel... Miltown Malbay is in Co. Clare and about 65km from Limerick City.
from 1894 :
McSherry & Mclnerney, kitchen range fitters &c. 17 Francis st
other McInerney entries :
Catherine McInerney , 2 Queen street
Patrick Mclnerney , Lock quay
Patrick Mclnerney , 61 Mungret street
Patrick McInerney , 2 Queen street
all Limerick City - Grocer & Spirit dealers
The Limerick census of 1911 is due online soon later this year - that should help find out more about the family.

I used http://limerick.brsgenealogy.com/ to find some Church records for my McINERNEYs in Limerick and I have checked and there is a marriage record there for a Harold Foster in 1908 and a birth record for Mary Margaret FOSTER in 1909 - it will cost you 5 euros to view per record however, which can work out quite steep if you have a lot to search for.
Can anyone else suggest another, cheaper route?

Thanks Louisag, (and also to shanew147) that site's actually how I found Harold and Bridget in the first place - there are a few records on there that could potentially be Samuel McInerney, Bridget's father, but I just can't afford to spend 5 euros per guess at the moment - there were a lot to choose from!
Strangely, Bridget doesn't seem to turn up as either a McInerney or a Foster in the 1911 records, even though I know she was still there between 1909 and 1914, when my grandfather and his sister were each born. Nor does Harold exist in those records aside from the marriage one.
Would an english soldier living in barracks be covered under an Irish census or an english one?
