Cork / Edward Donovan
« on: Sunday 31 July 22 10:54 BST (UK) »
Could anyone help me try to find the birth or baptism record for EDWARD DONOVAN? It states on one census (when he is a prisoner) that his birth was in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, however, I don't believe this is the case. I believe he was born in Cork. (Possibly Selleham, Dunmanway).
Edward was born approx. 1830 to parents TIMOTHY DONOVAN (1801) and ELLEN MCCARTHY (1801). Timothy and Ellen definitely have two children, TIMOTHY/THADY (approx. 1829) and CATHERINE (approx. 1838). I am still researching into possible other children. The family, from Cork, move to Brighton when Catherine is a toddler.
I found, on Ancestry, from someone else's tree, that Timothy and Ellen had another child called Edward. Myself and the lady whose tree Edward is in are a DNA match (3rd cousins twice removed). Her route is through Edward, mine through Catherine.
Edward changed his name to EDWARD DUNN when he was arrested in his early twenties I believe.
I can find baptism records for Catherine and Timothy/Thady, but I simply cannot find one for Edward. Not in the UK or Ireland. Help!
Thanks in advance.
