London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: Lily Ronayne, death reg. 13/1/1911. Lambeth Infirmary. BURIAL?

I'm just tuning into this line. My GG Grandmother was Hannah Ronan (Ronayne in some records) her father was Cornelius and mother Mary Donovan. Hannah was born about 1835 in East London but her first brother, Jno, was born in Ardfield and Rathbarry Parish of Cork. Hannah married John Driscoll in 1860 (Deptford, but marriage in Rotherhithe Church....don't know why), and had 4 children, including my Great Grandmother, Annie, who was the last one born on 17 March 1867. Her mother died exactly a year later. Annie was raised by her father's mother, Margaret. Long/short of it....and why I tuned in. Annie (who had 4 children illegitimately to William Hollingsworth) named her children Maggie (after the grandmother who raised her) and Hannah (mother) but also an Edward, and a Lily. I have always wondered why......and saw this post and wonder if the families connect somehow?
You know what it is like with genealogy when things look odd and you go fishing.....?
Anyway, hello.
