Thanks for your quick response.  I thought it might be difficult if not impossible...frustrating.

Father is not named in b/c, and no record of ch baptism (although there may have been one). 

Mother married a year later and had two children who took their father's name.  My g/mother's surname remained unchanged as her mother's maiden name.  No middle names.

Derbyshire / FATHERS OF "ILLEGITIMATE" CHILDREN 1908

My grandmother was born "illegitimately" in Belper in 1908. 

Is it likely to be possible to track down a father's name?

Sorry for the delay in responding. 

Thanks for pointing out the Ancestry.com link.  "Queen's Colorado" also turned up in Google searches (but without the definition), but now that I've re-examined it following your post, they're all from Ancestry. 

You've set my mind at rest....I thought Ireland had been invaded too!

Laois (Queens) / QUEEN'S COLORADO?

I've come across Queen's Colorado in the 1901 Irish Census.  I've Googled it to no avail.  Was there such a place or is a mistaken translation of the written "Queens County"?

Thanks so much for your clarifications.  I very much appreciate being able to bring this sort of problem to people who have an understanding of the language (and the written script!).  It's simply beyond me, and it seems, the internet translation applications.

Thanks again.

Irish Language / TRANSLATING A REFERENCE TO SEAMUS O CATHASAIGH
« on: Monday 06 January 14 02:42 GMT (UK)  »
I appreciate the help I've received in translating Seamus' 1911 census return.  I've now come across a biography which states that:

"Mac ba ea é le William Casey, cléireach. I dtuairisc in Sinn Féin 19 Lúnasa 1911 ar a ‘bhainis airgid’ deirtear gurbh é aonmhac Uilliam Uí Chathasaigh as an Muileann Cearr é. Phós sé Kathleen Weir, haitéir arbh fheirmeoir a hathair, ar 19 Lúnasa 1886 in Eaglais Naomh Seosamh, Bóthar Berkeley, Baile Átha Cliath."

Using the Google translator, it's not clear to me whether William Casey is his father or only son or both. 

Also the translator suggests he "married Kathleen Weir , a farmer whose father Hatter".  Should that read that her father was also a farmer?

Now that I'm up and about again....I have tried to find him (and his family) in the 1901 Census, but without luck. 

I was lucky to find him in the 1911 Census because at some point he (James Casey) started calling himself Seamus O Cathasaigh (various spellings in the transliteration I guess).  And the English-ified translation of his 1911 census papers were almost entirely blank.  I think the census collector was having as much difficulty as I was!

Thanks for the clarification: all Dublin except the second one who's Meath/Westmeath.

Thanks also for the table of counties and translator suggestion.  Unfortunately they're only useful if you can read the writing... I couldn't.  But I will certainly make use of it when I have typed text.

Again, thanks.

 :) I'm delighted with such a quick response.  I couldn't even decipher the writing.

If I read your series of responses correctly, 1 is probably Meath; 2 is unknown (I understand she was foreign); and the rest are Westmeath.

Do I have that right?

Many thanks in anticipation.
