Hi Kris,
            Thanks so very much for having a trawl through for me, shame my Kilroys weren't there but it was worth knowing and I can search for them elsewhere now.
Thanks for listing the Prykes you found too, its the last ones that are mine:

RG9/1138 Folio 28 Page 20
Barrow Green
Barrow Suffolk

PRYKE William Head 60 Mar b Barrow Ag Lab
PRYKE Francess Wife 66 b Barrow

Willam and Fanny, as she was called, are the 3x Great Grandparents of my husband.


Many thanks

Kat

Hello Cougar,
                       Thanks for looking for me anyway, much appreciated.
Could you tell me the details you have on Patrick and Mary Kilroy that you found please, just in case there is a connection there at all??

kind regards

Kat

Hi Chris,
This is part of another request I have just made in the London Lookups, i thought it may help you a bit.

"James' age at the time of the 1861 census is disputable because when he married in 1853 he was said to be 30yrs putting his year of birth at c.1823,but when he died in 1871 his age was 56 yrs this pushed his birth year back to c.1815. so in 1861 he could be either 38 or 46  .

What I do know for certain is that:
Honor/Honour Kilroy (nee Pryke) would be 29/30 yrs old, born c.1832 in Barrow Suffolk
William Kilroy would be 1/2 yrs, born c.1859 in Barrow, Suffolk"

Im hedging my bets I know but only because I don't know if this family was in Suffolk or London during 1861.

I really do not know alot on James apart from what is above and that during the 1850' he was a soldier who at sometime met Honour and married her in 1953 in Bury St Edmunds.  In 1859 in Barrow their first child William was born and then their second child was born in 1862 in Bloomsbury London/Middlesex. Honour's family where from Barrow, she being one of the children of William Pryke and Frances or Fanny Sparrow of Barrow.
I'm afraid that I can't tell you the exact year James Kilroy was born, either it was c.1815 or 1823 and that is all I know. I do not know where he was born either and Im desperate to find out.
James died on 10th March 1871 so he wouldn't be on any census other than the 1861.

Would some kind soul look up the suffolk 1861 census for James Kilroy and his wife Honour and son William.
Its possible that this family will be in Barrow (Thingoe district) as this is the home village of Honour (nee Pryke).Im not sure if they will be there, but its worth a shot .
Im sorry I can not be more specific about their whereabouts at this time and if they can not be found in Barrow they could be anywhere in Suffolk.
 
Iam absolutely desperate to find out where James Kilroy was born and not having alot of luck tracking him down so any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Marie,
          Thank you so very much, I think you could be right, they could be mine although williams age is a bit off, but someone told me to look at the 1881 census on the LDS site and I think I have the same family in Little Lever (all the names correspond and birth places, plus Henry's occup ) and they have williams age in the right time frame.

Without someone like you helping I would be lost, once again thanks, your an angel

regards

Kat
