Considering that Honoria was 50 in 1911, 35 in 1901 and 65 in 1930 her birth date is a movable feast!

Honoria was "full age" when she married in 1888...if she was born in 1872 that would have made her 16.

I think the 1911 age is a bit of a red rag, the other two just about match up and do seem to confirm a mid 1860s birth but even with her fathers name thrown into the search there doesn't seem to be anything obvious - GedB

If you are right with that 1866 marriage familyroutes then that is at least three generations of Morahan to Morahan (with various spellings) marriages from the small hamlet of Mount Daisy so I think the only way I am going to sort it is to give the name it's own tree and see where it leads me

The 1872 Anne then is perhaps another child to the family.

She could be a sister of either Honoria or Patrick as both their fathers were called Michael so I need to sit and make that tree and see what it brings - GedB

But I thought the mothers had different names  ??? I am only looking at children born to Michael and Mary.

Besides the Anne I linked to earlier, I found
Maria 14 September 1867 - could that be Martin mentioned above?
John 17 May 1870
With parents Michael and Mary.

It could be that there are more than 2 Michael and Mary couples plus the Michael and Celia, I suppose.
