Florance McCarthy b. abt 1823 Ireland and wife Margaret
« on: Sunday 19 February 17 15:50 GMT (UK) »
Looking for information on Florance McCarthy b abt 1823 in Ireland and his wife Margaret. They had a daughter Johanna b abt 1865 . I am not sure where she was born. She married Benjamin Martin 18 Jun 1881 Kent and had 2 children Daniel William Martin b 1883 and Margaret Ann Martin b 1885. She died 10 Sep 1890 and in 1891her widower Benjamin was with Florance and Margaret and his children at 68 Selcroft Road Greenwich. I am trying to find out what happened to the whole family, when they died etc. When I tried to look for Florance I found that there were a lot of Irishmen called Florance in the area. I would be grateful for any help.

Hello,

Here is something to start with - may be the family

1861 397/88/26

Florence McCarthy 35 yrs labourer b Cork
Margaret McCarthy 30 yrs b Cork
Daniel McCarthy   6 yrs b Cork
Charles McCarthy 3 yrs b Deptford, Kent
Michael McCarthy 12 b Deptford, Kent

Perhaps Michael is not 12 but it looks like that.

According to 1871 census, daughter Johanna born in England- her birth certificate should list mother's maiden name- also a son Eugene-

GRO indexes would seem to link the family in 1861 with that in 1871 and 1881. Various McCarthy children show a mother's maiden name of Leahy - there is one with mother Lee so not sure there. It is difficult in that in each census there seem to be different children. :-\

Not sure if we have this one 1881 718/9/11 - daughter shows Chatriane 8 yrs who I believe to be Catherine with mmn of Leahy.
