William Hope Stapleton of Kilkenny?
« on: Tuesday 03 February 09 22:06 UTC (UK) »
Hi
I am looking for William Hope Stapleton, probably born between 1870 - 1890. All I know is that he was Irish and a farmer. He had a daughter around 1914, birthplace unknown, could be Ireland or England, and she also was given the middle name Hope. I  think it is highly likely William was the son of a marriage between a Stapleton and a Hope. The reason I am looking at Kilkenny - a very faint connection to Ballyrafton, Ballyfoyle, Kilkenny, via two nurses, Bridget and Margaret Stapleton. Their names and addresses appear on the English nursing register in the 1930's and 1940's, and it is very possible they were relatives of William and his daughter, Hilda Mary Hope Stapleton.
Is  there a kind soul with access to marriage records for Kilkenny who might be able to pinpoint a marriage between a Hope and a Stapleton in the 1800's?
Many thanks

Yes I saw a link to that and tried it, but it doesn't give me the names of both parties in a marriage. There was a Catherine Hope who married about 1876 or 1878 from memory, but it doesn't say who she married. Perhaps I am doing it wrong?
Thanks for replying!

No, it doesn't give a link to partner in a marriage but if you do find two possibilites you can compare the year. registration district, volume and page numbers to see if there might be a match.
