That Joanna Canty is in Whitechapel in 1861 - parents James & Elizabeth
RG09 / 273 f81 p22

She is the eldest child - both parents bn Ireland.  I wonder if she was born before the marriage  :-\



Maybe not  ::)

But check 1871 census RG 10 / 522 / 56 / 7 - a 21 year old Johanna Canty is still in Whitechapel with widowed mother Eliza  :-\

Can she possibly have been enumerated twice in 1871 - once in London and once in Pontypool?

I think that Joanna is wrong. 

There is another in Deptford 1851 worth looking at HO107 / 1585 f177 p28

Following up the name of the father on her marriage certificate I have found the family of a Dennis Donovan with wife Mary and daughter Joanna in the 1851 and 1861 censuses living in Trevethin.

1851 ref is HO 107/2449 f 131
1861 ref is Rg 9/4007 f 65

In both censuses Joanna is shown as born in Kent.

Following up Barbara F's find, here's an interesting possible marriage:  :-\

Pontypool, 2nd quarter 1850
Dennis Donovan + on the same page Mary Donovan

I have also looked at the children of Dennis and Mary and these indicate a maiden name of Donovan.

So maybe Mary Donovan had a relationship with a Mr Canty before her marriage to Dennis? 

I think I would get the birth certificate for Joanna and probably the marriage certificate for Dennis and Mary next.
