Dublin / Re: Advice on interpretation of marriage record

Thanks. What I am trying to understand is how someone with a surname of Brophy could be the daughter of McGuirk?

Dublin / Advice on interpretation of marriage record
« on: Monday 16 June 14 23:37 BST (UK)  »
I have found a record for the marriage of Peter Delaney to Josanna Brophy. The parrents of Josanna are listed as Thomas and Anne McGuirk. Looking at the original entry (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/reels/st.nicholas_mf_1822-1880_ma_0210.pdf it shows the bride as Brophy alias McGuirk. Would people think that this is a second marriage i.e. Rosanna McGuirk (daughter of Thomas and Anne) married a Brophy. Then widowed or divorced, marries Delaney?

Any other interpretation?

Thanks in advance.

Dublin / Re: Which father?
« on: Tuesday 03 September 13 23:44 BST (UK)  »
he was at 51 BISHOP STREET (beside where the national archive is now  :o). She was at 30 LWR CLANBRASSIL STREET.  http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/0a76090006183

His mother was fenlon - I am assuming a mistake on the part of the person entering the original record and wrote fennelly rather than fenlon?!

This is probably a complete red herring but I am researching my brophy family. None of the info in this post relates (as far as I can see) except that my grandfather - Michael Brophy - married Roseanne McCall who was born and lived at 21 Gordons Place. Parents are living there on 1901 census and she gives it as her address in 1902 on a marriage certificate. She married Michael in 1903. Also Michael had a brother James born 9 May 1880 Linehall St and christened 14th May in St Michans.

Is this too much of a coincidence? ???

Dublin / Re: Researching Family of Bridget Brophy (nee Fenlon) Dublin 1901 census

Great minds think alike, I found him this afternoon. I had missed this guy because the age is wrong, he should be 55 acording to the age given on the 1901 census. However it looks to be the same person as he is a cork cutter by profession (the 1901 has him as a cork butter which confused me for quite a while).

This brings me to a question, who fiilled out the census return. Nowadays it would be done by the head of the household but I suspect they forms may have been filled out by the enumerator. Am I correct?

You could imagine the owner of a logding house getting the age wrong of one of her lodgers (as opposed to a family member).

Which age would you be more inclined to accept?

Ah, that explains it. I had found Clannbrasil St under Merchants Quay

Obviously the street is a DED boundary.

Thanks for the help

I browsed both the 1901 and 1911 census and both of them skip number 30 for some reason. So it's unlikely to be a mistake in transcription. Looking at google maps there is a number 30 lower clanbrassil st now and it is attached to, and very similair in build to, no 31.

Michael Brophy married Roaseanne McCall in 1909. Her address is listed as 30 LWR CLANBRASSIL STREET. When I browse the 1911 census, there is a gap in the numbering of the houses on UPPER clanbrassil st - it goes from 29 to 31, no 30. The numbering on lower clanbrassil st is 56 -121. So is this a mistake on the register i.e. it should have been 30 upper clanbrassil st? And why is there no 30 upper clanbrasil st on the census - was it empty at the time perhaps? Fallen down?

Any thoughts?

I got your pictures on a visit (fruitless) to find a grave of my own relative.

The inscription reads
Mary coneived
without
original sin pray for the soul of
Mr Malachy Crow
Rathfarnham
who departed this life 11th Dec 1853
Aged 65 years
This stone was erected by his beloved wife
Mrs Margaret Crow

There is no mention of Margaret being buried in the plot.

Send me your email address via private msg and I will forward the images, they are larger than rootschat allows.
