Kelly family from Athlone

[aghadowey]

There have been cases where the date in the register differs from the actual birth certificate (several reasons for this) but will have a look at another resource to see if there are any other possibilities.

Thanks, that's kind of you.

It's all I have for her. The 1911 states she was born in Athlone. It has been my wish to find siblings for many years.


Thanks

Was just going to ask you what 1911 gave as place of birth

Wonder if this is a possibility?

Good morning

Thanks for that, Castleblayney does seem to be a rather a long way from Athlone, and the police constable bit would surely be carried on through to the marriage certificate, I'm not too sure. The difference in date of birth could quite easily be a mistake by the person registering the birth I guess.

Thanks again,

Rose

It's possible the date in 1939 register is incorrect- either because she didn't know the exact date of her birth (my father-in-law born before WWI could never remember his birthdate) or had shaved a few years off her birth year at some point.

[Rose1855]

Sure, she added 2 years to her birth on the 1901 and took two years off on the 1911, so I see your point. Her MI says 1874. She did the same almost for her eldest son, I don't think her maths was too good or she was playing around with the years due to her son being conceived before marriage and she got in a muddle.
