Hi Pettsy,

Well, this gets stranger and stranger... I've had a look for John Dwyer with Jane in the 1891, but haven't found them, nor their children. I've tried searching with both surname and first names but no luck. It's very frustrating when they swap between their first and middle names, isn't it! It looks like Thomas could have been John Thomas or Thomas John but I can't see him in the 1891 or 1901.

Sorry I can't be of more help, perhaps you can put a new post out with the new information you have, someone's bound to find something!

Best wishes,
Ninakin

I think you're on to something there... Mary could be the daughter of your Thomas, but with his first (and only?) wife Ellen, as it seems he never married Jane McManus. Or was he with both at the same time...?
Good luck with finding him!

Found them! The reference is RG13, piece 43, folio 125, page 20.
The question is, where does Mary fit in as Thomas's daughter? There are more than one Mary Dwyer born in Kensington/Chelsea around that time (abt. 1871). Perhaps ordering her marriage certificate to William Hickey is a good idea, just to make sure she is his daughter.

Found a possible entry in the 1881 for Mary Dwyer, daughter of Thomas:
2 Portland Place, Pottery Lane, Kensington (RG11, piece 31, folio 32, page 3)
Thomas Dwyer, Head, mar, 50, Labourer, born Limerick, Ireland
Ellen Dwyer, wife, mar, 44, Born Ireland Cork
Mary F. Dwyer, dau, 10, born Kensington.

I don't know what you makes of this?  ??? Is it 'the other' Thomas Dwyer I wonder?

That looks promising! I found the marriage, but I looked for Mary and William Hickey in the 1901 but couldn't find them (can't search on address), what is the reference, and how old is she?

Just my luck... never mind. Let's hope I will find out who she was some other way.
Thanks,

England / Re: What happened to Elizabeth

Hi Anne-Marie,

I have to admit I looked for a marriage entry for Mr Spitty and Elizabeth Ellen without result...
Hopefully the 1861 entry that Mum44 found is the right one.

I have a similar ancestor (also called Elizabeth  ;D) I'm trying to find out about and it's funny how the imagination starts running wild - I thought of her as a 'lady of the night' and even had her as a possible unknown victim of the Ripper at one point!  :o She vanished completely after a messy divorce in 1881... from Bethnal Green, Whitechapel or thereabouts! I will never stop searching for her though as I would be interested in finding out what actually happened to her after the divorce!

Best of luck with your hunt!

I wonder, are you looking for her in later censuses? 1881: Found Elizabeth Spitty, 28, wife, born Frinsted, wife of Charles Spitty, 37, Lodger with James Fullager and family in Elmley, Kent.
