I quite like him as well. I do find the show can be a bit "name and dateish" as opposed to birthplaces of the line they are following. When I saw McKillop I thought "Well either Scottish or Irish". The former is the correct one.

son of John McKillop (Shipsmith) born ca.1793 Scotland (an online tree states Oban, Argyll).

So ultimately back to Scotland, Rosinish!

Thanks Annette,

I had a feeling there may have been Scottish roots  ;)

"I wanted to know what happened to Delia"

So do I!

Me too!
Did she marry, have more children, make a successful life over there? When did she die, did she ever return for a visit - so many questions..... ???

When it was discovered that his ancestor had been charged several times for selling alcohol illegally in Ireland -- I was really surprised that he didn't say 'What a coincidence' -- as his parents ran a pub in my home town (not Southport and they weren't selling alcohol illegally!)

Just a coincidence I thought, that he had both comedy AND alcohol in his roots.

I too wondered what happened to Delia  ???

Looking at the Ireland 1901/1911 census it would appear that 'Delia' could actually be called Bridget.

On the 1901 the family name is recorded as O'Farrell but the 'O' was dropped on the 1911.

1901 -

1911 -

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Ballina_Urban/Upper_Pipers_Hill/700074/

An online tree has Bridget 'Delia' marrying Richard Passau, 1912, Montréal, Québec.

That's a good possibility JJen.

Interestingly the Civil record of Bridget's birth shows the surname as O'Farrell - whilst the baptism shows Farrell.

Mother's maiden name was 'Devany'. 'Delia' is shown as married on 1911 census (for 2 years) -- which cropped up in the programme. However it's a bit of a random change of Christian name isn't it,

It would appear that the name Delia is a 'pet name' for Bridget -

Bridget   A common Irish girls name in modern times with many pet forms including Biddy, Bridie, Dina and Delia. It dates back only to medieval times.

Oh wow JJen -- that's brilliant! You would never imagine Delia to be a nickname for Bridget.
You need to apply to be a researcher on WDYTYA.

But you would think when she travelled to Canada - her evidence documentation (birth cert or baptism cerificate) -- would be in the name of Bridget Farrell or O'Farrell.

She would surely need proof of her name and age you would think. Maybe the records in Canada will be under the name Bridget.
