Hi
I am trying to trace some people on my wife's fathers side of the family.
Firstly the little bit we know and maybe it rings a bell with someone or matches up with some information someone has uncovered.

Catherine (Kathleen) O’Connor (nee Burbridge)  died in early 1970s. She married Edward O Connor and they are both buried in Deansgrange along with a son Edward. There is a vague family memory of another son (possibly Willie) married and living in Dublin.

Catherine(Kathleen)  had one sister I know of – Lil Casey  (may not have been her actual given name) who lived in Boyne Street, Dublin 2  Lil had a daughter called Lily also.

Kathleen had a daughter Mary (May) O Connor (born 1917 and died 30th March 1974 aged 57).

May married James (Jim) O’Neill  (born 1911 and died 2nd March 1961 aged 50 years).  He worked for Carton Brothers and moved to Sandwith Street from Boyne Street after getting married.

They had 5 children.  Two died early in childhood and are buried in the Angels Plot in Glasnevin (as far as we know).  Three lived until adulthood – William (Liam) O’Neill (born 1938 and died 1979)  Angela O’Neill (Johnston) (born 1942 and died 1991) and Eamon O’Neill (born 1946 and died 2010) all now deceased. The boys went to school in Westland Row and Angela went to school in Loretto on Stephen’s Green

May worked in Johnny’s shop next door to the house on Sandwith Street.

Looking at the 1901 Census there seems to be only two families of Burbridges in Dublin. One lived at Warrenmount Place, Merchants Quay, Dublin 2 (Richard and Mary Ann with their 4 sons and 2 daughters)  and the other family lived at Daniel Street, Wood Quay, Dublin 2 (George and Catherine and their 3 daughters).

In the 1911 Census Richard and Mary Ann Burbridge are living at Malpas Terrace, Merchants Quay with their youngest daughter Kathleen Joseph Burbridge.  The son Martin J Burrbridge is living at William Street South with his wife. The other four are not on the Census.

The other family (George and Catherine) are now living in Lennox Street and their daughters are moved out and don’t appear under the Burbridge name on the Census.

Seeing as this is such an unusual name (2 families in Dublin, 2 in Leitrim and 1 in Cork) I was hoping someone may have some information. Apologies for the long post.  All information or suggestions appreciated. Thanks for reading.   Denis.

A long shot but here goes.
Tracing back my mothers side of the family and am stuck on my g g grandmother
All i know is that she was born Mary Anne Healy in Wicklow in 1854( that's based on the 1901 census).
According to family stories she was from Tinahely I am almost certain  (or Baltinglass?) as my mother vaguely recalls driving around Wicklow many years ago and being told that where her great gran was from(she thinks they might have called into the house but is not sure.
Anyways she married a James McDonnell of Drummond Rosenallis Co Laois about
1875 and lived there until her death on 20 10 1915.
All very vague and short on detail I know but its all I got for the moment.
All help or suggestions gratefully received .Thanks for looking.
Denis

Also looking for a look up please
Two different people
Patrick  Byrne born circa 1876 Seskin Lower Leighlinbridge Co Carlow .Was listed as a constable in Ferns Co Wexford (house 109.2 Ferns town in 1901 census )
Doesn't seem to be on the 1911 census ( even under Patrick O Byrne the version of his name he used later in life)
James Brennan born Ratheadon Bagenalstown Co Carlow circa 1870 .Was listed on 1901 census as a policeman living at no. 30 Strand Street Tralee Kerry with his wife Kate and on the 1911 census with no occupation listed and now living at house no. 12.1 Ballymacasy  Lislaughtin Co Kerry with his second wife Anne
Thanks

The Annie Griffith married to Nicholas Hopkins would be on the 1911 census as living in Newtown (mispelled Bewtown) ded of Agha co Carlow
Her husband was living in Agha ded of Agha at that time
They had only one daughter Olga (proper name Eleanor i think) who married firstly Billy Jeffers (one son deceased and one daughter still alive) then Alfie Fennel
She died about two or three years ago
The Griffith family name is gone now from the area
Hope this is of some small help
