Family History Beginners Board / O'Connors in Dublin
« on: Sunday 29 April 18 16:24 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find my Irish relatives from Dublin and am having trouble doing so. My great grandfather, Gerard Joseph Molloy, (b1912) had a sister called Jane Molloy, who married a man named Leo O'Connor. They married in 1931 and had two children together - Paddy/Paddy O'Connor (b1934) and Maura O'Connor (b1935). Does anyone know about either the Molloy's or the O'Connors?

« on: Saturday 02 December 17 23:06 GMT (UK) »Hi again, his parents are Henry Alfred Hardy occ Inn Keeper who married Emma Hall June qtr 1887 Derby 7b 830
At New Market Inn, East Street, Derby in 1891 census RG12/2727/9/12
So far if of course this is him, no sign of Gypsy heritage?

It probably is him, but I've found so many George Hardy's so I don't even know anymore. My grandad just told me that he thinks he was born in 1882, and the only one I've found from 1882 is one from Nottinghamshire.

George Alfred Hardy Dec qtr 1887 Derby 7b 497 Mothers maiden name Hall

Okay thank you, he must've moved then as he died in Birmingham.

Travelling People / Surnames Hardy & Lee // Birmingham and Warwickshire
« on: Saturday 02 December 17 21:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have a great great grandfather who told my grandad that he lived on the Black Patch in Smethwick. His name was George Hardy, and I have heard that this was a common gypsy name. His wife had a mother called Eliza Lee, which I thought may also have some gypsy lineage as I also know that Lee is a common gypsy surname. Can anyone help me to find out if it is possible that any of my ancestors have gypsy heritage?

I've tried tracking them in censuses but I've hardly gone back. Yes, Alice's parents were Eliza Lee and Alfred James, but I've found him in some censuses under the name of William so I'm not too sure?

Yes, that was him. I'd like to find out my relatives from Ireland that descend from his brothers and sisters.
how many brothers and sisters? what info do have?
He had at least one sister Ann Molloy born on 26 February 1910
The ones I know of are Bridget Molloy (1898), Matthew Molloy (1903), Jane Frances Molloy (1905) and Patrick Molloy (1907). I think there was a Ann Molloy, like you said, and a Mary Molloy too, but I'm not sure.
