Hello Wivenhoe, Thanks for your reply, Yes, I thought there ought to be another Bernard Riley, son of (my 3 x great grandfather Bernard b about 1791), I did find a right sort of aged Bernard Riley in Rotherham, but of course I don't know if he is my Bernard's son. Bernard's wife, my 3 x great grandmother was born Mary Watkin 1798. I haven't found her marriage to Bernard yet, nor baptisms for their children as mentioned in the censuses, Catherine/Caroline I have her b as 1824, Ellen b1826, James b1828, Mary Ann b1831, Margaret b1834, John b1837 or Michael b1839. When the children married, it was in C of E churches. I do have B & D certs for Michael b 1839. You mention a Mary O'Brien? Mary is Mary Riley nee Watkin. It is possibly my fault, I may have confused you, because Bernard has had several names on his children's documents, (Bernard, Bryan, and O'Brien) I did wonder if Bernard and Mary ever married, or if he had another family, but they may have married in Ireland and I don't really know how to search there, that seems daunting.
