Thank you.  I noticed on the 1911 census there were only 100 people.  I think that could be considered small?  I am hoping the birth certificates will tell me if they were born in Multyfarnham or Lackan.  It will be interesting to see.   I would think that if people were farmers (1911 Anne is stated as being a farmer) they would not move around too much?
Cheers,

Thanks for all the information.  I am looking forward to sitting down and looking over it all.
You have been a great help.

Cheers,

Thanks Shane.  I do not have a Michael in the family (as yet).  However, my William was born around 1836 so it could be a brother or father.  Thanks for turning that up.

Interestingly, I have been trying to find John Delmore arriving in the U.S from Ireland.  The only possibility (although the dates are out a little  but whats new!)  is a john Delamer and Michael Delamer from Mullinger arriving in NY.  I know from the 1911 census that  Anne and William had 10 children with 6 surviving so this would leave room for a Michael.  He would have possibly been their first born around 1860.  I know the Scottish have a naming system after their parents,  do the Irish?
Sadly this Michael died 2 years after arriving and there are no records on him on Ancestry.  I may get his death cert. as here is the U.S. they usually give parents names.

This is getting more interesting.

Thanks,
Sue

Thanks again Shane.  You have helped me put everything into place.

Hopefully I will be able to dig up more information now that I have a better understanding.

Thanks,

Thanks again Shane.  I will order a few certificates and go from there.  I will also assume this is the right family.  Thanks for the tips on the name as well.  We ended up as Delamore, but I know that in New York and Jersey distant relatives are Delmore and Delmour.   I have read that this name goes all the way back in Multyfarnham (which I believe is a small town) to the 1200's so this could lead to some fun research.
