Sadly none of these are feasible. Catherine was born in Kerry around 1857-8, likewise Thomas Mcdonald in Carlow.
All of their children were born in London.
Both are buried in paupers graves in the same cemetery in north London, Catherine in the catholic area,Thomas in the Protestant area.

Catherine was Roman Catholic from a Kerry married to Protestant Thomas McDonald from Carlow. By 1880 they were living in Islington,north London. They had 7 children - Thomas,Ellen Mary, Catherine Rose (my grandmother),Ann,Margaret,Norah,and Edward. I’d love to find the right family and visit the area to learn more. Sadly there are no members of our family left who can help.

mmmm but would have been more helpful to have had a headstone. Both were buried in paupers graves.

One thing I do know is that Catherine was catholic but Thomas was protestant. They are buried in the same cemetery but in their relevant religious sectors.

Thomas was a farrier but I don’t have access to familysearch to get further info.

Will persevere as I am determined to crack this one

Unfortunately no as I have the death certs and his surname name was definitely McDonald

I have come up against a brick wall with birth details and therefore parents of my great grandmother Catherine Brosnan. I am pretty certain that she came from around Ballybeg . I have a birth year of 1858 and by the late 1880s she was in London with my great grandfather Thomas McDonald from Carlow. I cannot trace a marriage certificate either. Looks like the Brosnans are a large family so if anyone can help me unlock the door I would be most grateful.
