Seeking mother of James Lundy, son of James, aged 20 at marriage in 1876
« on: Sunday 11 February 18 16:57 GMT (UK) »
Info gathered from UHF.

Married St Matthew's RC Belfast, aged 20 in 1876.  Wife Catherine McManus (born Saintfield) living Short Strand when married.  His address Clonallon St.  Witnesses Joseph Hanna and Mary McManus (her sister).

Children in order of birth 1877-1898:
Hugh
Samuel (erroneously listed as Catherine on UHF)
Mary
Jane
Catherine
Sophia
James
John
Sarah
William Patrick

Her father was Henry and her mother Jane (possibly Hanna).

If age is accurate, the two major contenders seem to be Mary McAreavey and Ann Denvir, but not discounting others.  Only mother I can exclude is Fanny Gordon.

Any help appreciated, even if to exclude.  Have names of sponsors if needed, just don't want to overwhelm. Thanks!

Could this Mary Lundy be James' mother?

discounted by 1901 census-

This looks like James' father- died 1883 age 53 (born c1830), labourer, 33 Short Strand, daughter-in-law Catherine Lundy informant-

William born 4 Feb.1878
James born 13 Nov.1879

You(?) posted lots of details on Lundys here-
http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=47549.15

However, birth for children show family lived 33 Short Strand not 43 Short Strand-
1.   Hugh 1877 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1877/03026/2109113.pdf
2.   Samuel 1878, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1878/02956/2083053.pdf
3.   Mary 1880, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1880/02876/2054091.pdf
4.   Jane 1882, 33 Murray’s Row https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1882/02785/2022581.pdf
5.   Catherine 1884, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1884/02705/1996158.pdf
6.   Sophia 1885, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1885/02640/1973767.pdf
7.   James 1889, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/cert_amends/cert_1889/1923323a.pdf
8.   John 1891, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1891/02381/1888622.pdf
9.   Sarah 1893, 33 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1893/02285/1857887.pdf
10.   William Patrick 1898, 37 Short Strand https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1898/02098/1799631.pdf

I'd hoped that James' mother might have registered one of the births but unfortunately not.

Brilliant info Aghadowey, and greatly appreciated.  I didn't know when James the elder had died. 

Also didn't know about that site, now I have to learn how to navigate it!

43 Short Strand was in 1901, regret any confusion.

Yes, it was me who posted that info early in my search.  Think I put too much info in that post and overwhelmed the reader!

Thanks again!
