Christopher Ahern, Cork City
« on: Saturday 20 October 12 18:58 BST (UK) »
   Christopher Ahern for many years ran the Adam and Eve pub in Cork City. He was married, in 1923, in Limerick, to Annie McDermott. Does anyone have any information about the parents or other ancestors of Christopher?

Best way to start your search would be with a marriage cert. This would show occupations, places of residence for the bride & groom, plus names and occupations of the fathers.

Have you found the references on the Index ?

Hi the marriage record for Christopher Ahern & Annie McDermott as follows

July-Aug-Sept 1923. Limerick. Vol 5 page 209

If you order the cert it will give you details of fathers, occupation as mentioned by Shane.

On looking on the ireland census www.census.nationalarchives.ie
I can see a Christopher Ahern age 15 in 1911 House 146 in Blackrock, Cork
Father Patrick Ahern, Mother Mary (I think O Brien) as father in law is with them
For Annie McDermott in 1911 Census House 17 Fredrick Place Limerick No 4 Urban.  There is Annie McDermott age 16 with parents John & Kate & siblings
John McDermott occupation given as Hairdresser. :)

  Many thanks for that. We have traced Annie's parents on the 1911 Census.
