Do you have her parents and family in 1911? Are they together?
If not, had something happened - separation, death or similar?

Her mother and sisters are together in temple bar. Her father cannot be found and there was a baby brother sent to Wexford for chronic tummy troubles (this ultimately ended up as a weird adoption situation)

Ireland / Sending a child away
« on: Monday 11 March 24 17:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

I have a general query about a specific situation in my family. My great great grandmother, who was born in Dublin in 1902, spent a portion of her young childhood in Galway with a family called Brady. My query is… why would this happen? There is no familial link with the Brady’s and she was put in the census of 1911 as “niece”. She was much younger than the other children (4 grown sons in the Bradys). She hated her time there. Why would she be sent to strangers?

Hi Banana12

There were Curleys from the Roscommon/ Galway border and lots of branches of them in the area during the census of 1901 and 1911.

I would be Related to Willy through his brother whose daughter is my grandmother but know very little about him (my mum is the same other than to say she knew him and his sister as older members of the creggs community). I couldn’t say one way or the other as to whether he traveled to the UK at any time I’m afraid.

Oxfordshire / John and Jean Curley

Hi there

I’m not sure I’m posting in the right place. I think I am.

I’m looking to trace the family of my great uncle John Curley (sometimes called Jackie). He was born in Ireland in the 1920’s and emigrated to England where he married Jean Baker (I think) and had his family.

He was my grandmothers older brother and while she is dead over 40 years her children remain curious as to what happened to uncle Jackie.

From what I’ve found, he married and lived and died in oxfordshire.

Would anyone on here have heard of the family or know anything of them?

Thanks in advance

That’s what I thought. In the census they lived in houses in Cahelizod but not the Bridge House at this point.

Thanks all

Dublin / House in Chapelizod

Hi all

I recently found the burial records for a particular branch of my family tree.

On their burial record their address is simply stated as Bridge House, Chapelizod.

Would anyone know anything about this house, where exactly it was located, was it a big house?

Thanks a million

Wow tcahan. Thanks so much. My mum was quite young when she met Willie so knows very little about him.  I never knew he emigrated or married! Both new parts of the puzzle.
