Title: Daniel Driscoll Mary Power
Post by: OBrien1 on Sunday 05 July 20 23:34 BST (UK): Hi, Looking for info on the above couple Married in Cardiff around 1884. Had a daughter called Ellen who was born in Ireland in 1890 and fathers residence was unknown on the birth cert.
He was formerly a farmer in Australia also.
They are not on the Irish Census 1901 or 1911, although the child Ellen is, with Grandparents.

Thanks

Which census is Ellen with grandparents - Welsh or Irish 1901 or 1911? Which county?

Married 1884 - Ellen b 1890 so were other children born before or after Ellen? When & where?

Which grandparents - Power or Driscoll?

Di you have a copy of the 1884 marriage cert? How old were Daniel & Mary? What was Daniel’s occupation?

Not grandparents, just her widowed grandmother.

John 1885

I can’t see a birth for James but there are possible deaths for the other two children soon after birth.

It would be best to get the marriage certificate to check his occupation and father on that.
I presume Ellen is your ancestor? Driscoll and Power are not uncommon names. Do you have her in 1911?

In 1901 there are two other grandchildren with Bridget Power. Have you checked those children? John O’Hara, 5 yrs and Bridget O’ Hara 3 yrs b Waterford.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Waterford/Portlaw/Carrick_Road/1768438/

I looked and found these births:
John O’Hara 1896 Dungarvan

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1896/02158/1818274.pdf

Bridget O’Hara 1898 Waterford
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1898/02070/1790773.pdf

Both these children have parents Patrick (a Barber) and Mary Power.
Again not uncommon names though.

I can’t find these parents in 1901 nor them and the children in 1911.

Added - sorry I didn’t see the post from Tracey - I just saw it now.

So where is Ellen in 1911?

We can't find Ellen in 1911.
She had a son in 1908 and looks like he was in a Workhouse in 1911.
Title: Re: Daniel Driscoll Mary Power
Post by: heywood on Wednesday 08 July 20 16:34 BST (UK): Oh dear. I was hoping that the O’Hara children might be with her and that would solve that little mystery. :-\
