Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Query re a struck through name on death record
« on: Thursday 29 June 23 15:46 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

My query relates to an England and Wales Death Record.  The woman that it relates to was a Mrs. X with the maiden surname of Reilly.  Her married and maiden surnames are correct on this record but written under Reilly is another surname "Brady" which has been struck through and the notation (F) written beside it.

99.9% of my genealogy research is Irish based so I'm not too familiar with UK records.  To the best of my knowledge Mrs X nee Reilly was only married once. 

Was the surname Brady inserted into this record in error and the strikethorough and note indicate that or was she also known by the surname Brady?

Many thanks in advance.

The Common Room / Re: Does anyone (living) have a great grandparent born in the 18th century?

One of my paternal great grandfathers was born in 1838 in Longford.  He married twice, firstly in 1862 and secondly in 1889 and had 18 children in total.  Both of his wives hailed less than half a mile from his home.  My grandfather was part of his second family and was born in 1895.  The youngest of the 18 children was born in 1905.

It's fascinating to think he would have been alive during The Great Hunger (Famine) that happened in Ireland from 1845 to 1852.
