Tipperary / Re: O'Shea - Carrick On Suir
« on: Friday 10 February 17 12:26 GMT (UK)  »
My name is Sarah, I am the daughter of Kathleen O'Shea (Michael's daughter). My mum has 7 siblings including Paddy and JuJu (who sadly passed a few years ago). Billy was Michael's half brother. James remarried and had several more children.
My mum remembers your O'Shea side well from when she was younger. My grandad Michael was very fond of all your family.
I also found the record showing Ellen as remarried, I was unsure if this was correct, but another family member seems to think it may be. I also found a record of James and Patrick (Garriagan) living with their grandfather.
James married an Annie Shea, with all the same surnames it makes life very difficult when searching!

Thanks for getting in contact.
This certainly does sound like the correct family.  So your grandfathers mother was Ellen Shea? I have been working really hard on trying to find more out about her.
For Christmas I bought my mother a DNA ancestry testing kit and am hoping this helps a little.
Would be great to share info with you.

Thanks for all the help, it is looking likely that they are the Witham family though as some of the siblings names match up.  I will have to do a bit bit more research to confirm this but this is a great place to start.

Sorry Ray, doesn't take a lot to confuse me!!

No, I don't know the name of Harold Snr's wife.  I was hoping that when I got the marriage cert and Harold Jnr's fathers name that I may be able to find them living together on the census as a family (as I did with Sarah).  But like I said in my original message, I can't seem to find a family that is 'likely' to be them, wasn't sure if I was just missing them?

As far as I know my fathers family (Hammonds) have always lived in the Camden area of London, or on the borders, i.e Islington etc, but this is not a fact.

No worries, my Ggrandmother was Sarah Hawkins, her details are above too.

With regards to Florence, I think you are right, should have known that.  My dad always refers to her as 'Doll, so threw me a bit!!

I have a copy of my G grandfather and G grandmothers marriage.  From this I have been able to trace my G grandmothers family on the census'.  However, I am struggling to find my G grandfather.

The info I have is the following:

Harold Hammond m Sarah Hawkins 25 Dec 1924.
Both were 19.
Harolds father - Harold Hammond, Carman, Deceased.
They were married in Fitzroy Sq W1 and both lived in the Camden area (NW1).

One of the witnesses was F Hammond - possibly my G grandfathers mother/brother/sister?

Can anyone else see my G grandfather/GG grandfather on the census? 

Thanks

Thanks so much for all the help, certainly gives me something to work on.  Extra special thanks for sporting George listed as 'Wan', that certainly would have taken me a lot longer to spot than you!

The chances are I will come accross your Wass whilst researching, will let you know when I do.

Thanks again.

It seems thats George.. Well done you.

I hadn't found George on the census, I found him on a 'old London pubs' type website, just came by him by chance.

Henrys dad was Robert Wass, born about 1797.
