Title: Help me find Mary Ellen Dwyer and her family in the English Cenus
Post by: genseacher on Friday 25 July 14 21:23 BST (UK)
Hi
Would appreciate your help on this one.

Looking for Mary Ellen Dwyer in any of the English census prior to 1911

This is Mary Ellen in the Irish 1911 census aged 34  http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Carlow/Bagenalstown_Rural/Kilcarrig/308873/

Possible fathers names James b 1853, Michael b 1856
Father born Carlow, Ireland.

Regards and thanks

Hi Craclyn

No its not Stephen as he is too old . Possible father of Mary Ellen, earliest dob can only be from 1853 onwards.

There are 3 possible births to look at (at least!):

December qtr 1876
Stoke on Trent district     vol 6b, page 261
Dwyer, Mary Ellen

December qtr 1877
West Derby district    vol 8b, page 413
Dwyer, Mary Ellen

December qtr 1877
Liverpool district    vol 8b, page 98
Dwyer, Mary Ellen


The 2 born December qtr 1877 wouldn't have their 34th birthdays until October-December 1911, so I reckon they are out?!

Which leaves the Stoke-on-Trent Mary Ellen! ;D
She would have been 34 in October-December 1910, and therefore still 34 when the census was taken?

Having read this and your other posts I am a little confused about what you already know and what is the starting point for your various questions. Still not sure how you know that Mary Ellenīs father is one of the two you mentioned.

Hi

The Mary Ellen Dwyer aged 34 on 1911 irish census, her aunts are Bridget and Mary Dwyer as listed.

Of the male siblings of Bridget and Mary Dwyer only 2 males can be Mary Ellen's father that is James Dwyer b 1853 and Michael Dwyer b 1856, the next male sibling was born 1865, he's too young to be Mary Ellen's father.

I have tried searching the census myself but I just thought that a fresh pair of eyes/someone who is used to searching the English census might come up with possible families of Mary Ellen Dwyer.

Regards and thanks

Thanks KGarrad

The first one I have come across when I searched myself - Catherine, Mariners wife
It looks interesting as the male child is named Patrick  (Grandfather was Patrick)

Pity no husband's present at time of census taking.

Again thank you very much
