Westport Co. Mayo
« on: Sunday 18 February 07 01:00 GMT (UK) »
I believe my Grandparents came from Westport Co. Mayo and my late father William "Bill" ILEY still has family there.

I think my Grandmothers name was Mary O'Shea and my Grandfather was John ILEY.

They left for Manchester where I believe my Father and his Siblings were born.

Welcome to Roots Chat
Do you think you could give some names and ages for John and Marys children.Icant seem to find a John and Mary that fits on 1901 census

My Father, William Dever ILEY was born in Manchester 1922.

I know he had brothers and sisters but I don't know if any were born whilst my Grandparents were still in Westport.
It's very probable that they were not married at the time of the 1901 census.

I only know the name of one of my fathers sisters and she was called Kathleen.

Thank you
Donna

Hello Donna
I dont think theres much you can do only search the BMDs for other births to Iley with mothers maiden name O Shea.If they married in Ireland you will have to look up the marriage certificate there.Someone did put a website up on here a while back.Maybe you could ask for a lookup on Ireland boards
Sorry not much help,but Im in same boat as you looking for Barretts in Westport

Hi Donna.  Have you found your father's birth certificate?  It should give the name of his mother and father.  You can work back from that.  It's a start.  If you have any other details that you can put on here it will help widen the search.

Hi Dee
I don't actually have a copy but it makes sense to get one.
I'm going to have a chat with my sister and she what she knows or can remember.
Thanks
Love
Donna

Donna.  I have found a birth certificate for the following:

Oct-Dec 1922  William D Iley (Mother's name - Taylor)
Vol. No. 8d   Page no. 333

Does this make any sense?  They mother's maiden name of Taylor?

My father was Born,  4th September 1922.  I was always led to believe his mother's maiden name was O'Shea.  I wonder whether I'm mistaken in thinking that.  Family wasn't talked about whilst my mother was alive, mainly because Dad had a "past" and she was his second wife! 

Where would I find a copy of the Birth Certificate?
Is it possible over the net ?
