Eliza Jane Walker was born on 22 July 1865 to Mary Creany in Kilmore, Co. Down. Her father was Isaac Walker, my great grandfather. She was illegitimate and baptised in the catholic church in Kilmore. Since she would be closely related to me I would love to know what happened to her.

Is she on 1901 census?
Have you searched for a marriage for her?
Are parents on 1901 census?

Yes, I know all about her father, but can't find her mother, or a marriage.

OK.

Thanks for that Sam, I had only her baptism record. Was Cole Lane the workhouse?

Yes I think it might have been,because in her Birth Certificate, it states an "inmate" as present at the birth.
Found this on the 1901 Census, might it be Mary ?

Yes I saw that, but this is Kilmore Parish in Co. Armagh..the Kilmore where Eliza was baptised is a Townland in Shankill Parish in Co. Down. On the Civil registration the mother is called Margaret. On the baptism she was called Mary!

I am not sure that Cole Street is the workhouse -
I believe the Lurgan workhouse address was William Street or John Street
Its now Lurgan Hospital - Sloan Street
Aghalee seems to be between Lurgan and Antrim
Is there possibly another workhouse serviing Aghalee (Lisburn?) - Lisburn Workhouse is now Lagan Valley Hospital

Hi
I was researching a different Walker when I spotted this old post. For what it's worth , A Lizzie Walker age 21, mill worker , died in Belfast Workhouse Aug 12 1886. The age fits , but no other clues on the certificate

Thank you mattfrombann. I have looked at her death certificate. She died of TB, but a year earlier she appears to have had a daughter, Eliza Jane who died at 3 days old in the Belfast workhouse. I suspect this was my missing Eliza Jane born in 1865. She was a millworker.
