William O'Neill married Lucy Brandreth - Leicester - 1908.
« on: Friday 30 October 09 21:27 UTC (UK) »

William is my Great Uncle. Am wondering if any one can tell be any more information about them, I cannot find any deaths or any more children.

William was born Feb. 1871 in London, he was a teacher in Framlingham, Suffolk on the 1891 census living with his parents, James and Margaret O’Neill. He was not living in Framlingham on the 1901 census, and I could not find him any where on the 1901 census, but the 1911 is as follows:-

William O’Neill age 40. birth year = 1871. Certificated Teacher Leicester. Born London.
Lucy O’Neill. Age 35. born- 1876. Married 2 years. Born Leicester.
Margaret O’Neill Daughter. Age 1. Born = 1910 Leicester.
They were living at 120 Gwendoline Road, Leicester.

The marriage of William to Lucy took place on 28th July 1908.

The 1901 census reveals Lucy’s parents as John and Elizabeth Brandreth. John was a Bootmaker, Cordwainer, coming from Huddersfield, Yorkshire. Lucy occupation = Certificated Schoolmistress, as were two other sisters, which, I wondered, was unusual for that time. The family are found on the 1891 and 1881 in Leicester.

Any info’ will be much appreciated,

Mary.

Per freebmd

Births September qtr 1914
 
Michael W O'Neill mothers m/n Brandreth  Leicester  7a 516

Given their respective birthyears - they will probably have died during a period not yet covered by freebmd transcriptions

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progressD.shtml

If you are unable to find their deaths on freebmd you will need to search the full GRO index  which is available at your nearest main library.  It can also be searched online if you have an Ancestry or FMP subscription 

It involves downloading the images for every quarter of every year and checking for an entry - very time consuming without more info

Hi CaroleW,

Thanks very much for that - I missed that! A friend had 'gone through' Ancestry' for me, but that was in the days before we had the info' of the 1911. At least I know it's Leicester!  I have looked through war deaths but didn't come up with anything concrete. Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

I have now found both William and Lucy's death certificate.

William died on 21 September 1939 in Faire Hospital, Countess Street. He was 68 years old. Their address was 11 Kimberley Road, Leicester. He was a retired schoolmaster.

I wonder if anyone has access to local newspaper archives and would be able to look to see if a write up of the funeral was put in. I am interested to see who of the family attended.

Grateful for any help.

Mary.
