Thomas Booth married Elizabeth Dooley Jun qtr 1870 Belper (as posted by bee)

You have Thomas and Elizabeth in 1881, where Elizabeth gives p.o.b. as Kerry tralee Ireland

1871
45 Sleetmoor lane
Somercotes
Derbys
Thomas Booth Head M 23 Coal Miner Milford Derbys
Elizabeth Booth wife 20 Kilkenny Ireland
Frederick William son 4mths Infant Somercotes Derbys
RG10 3591 15 22

so 1871 Elizabeth's p.o.b. is given as Kilkenny Ireland

next I'll give Elizabeth and her parents

Suz

[suzard]

as I previously posted-
Elizabeth with her parents in 1861
1861
William St
Radford Nottingham
George Dooley Head married 48 Army pensioner Ockbrook Derbys
Alice Dooley wife 37 Ireland
George Dooley son 7 Scholar ireland
Elizabeth Dooley daughter 10 Scholar ireland
Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Boarder U 20 Cotton Doubler Ireland

Elizabeth's p.o.b. just given as Ireland
RG9 2449 16 35

1851 -they are not to be found in Uk census -possibly they were in Ireland with the army -as Elizabeth was born Ireland b.c. 1850 and her brother George was b. c. 1854 Ireland
next I'll give you where Elizabeth's parents were in 1871/1881

1871 ( Elizabeth and Husband Thomas Booth were living at Sleetmoor lane Somercotes -as previously posted)

and in 1871 Elizabeth's parents were living in Somercotes

1871
Nottingham and Alfreton Rd
Somercotes
Derbys
George Dooley head M 52 Tailor ockbrook Derbys
Alice Dooley wife 43 Ireland
George Dooley son U 17 Moulder Ireland
RG10 3591 71 8

so it looks like Elizabeth's father george had taken up what was possibly his occupation of tailor before he joined the army

There is a death which is possibly Elizabeth's mother
Alice Dooley
Dec qtr 1880
age 551
Belper
7b 368

1881
Elizabeth's widowed father is living with his son (Elizabeth's brother) George

1881
Meadow St
Ironville
George Dooley hed M 27 Labourer Ironworks Ireland
Sarah Dooley wife 26 Swansville? Staffs
Alice Dooley daughter 5 Scholar Alfreton Derbys
George Dooley son 3 Alfreton Derbys
Sarah Dooley daughter 1 Alfreton Derbys
George Dooley Father W 62 Tailor Hockbrook Derbys (should be Ockbrook)
RG11 3418 20 32

Then there is this death -which is probably Elizabeth's father
George Dooley
Jun qtr 1881
age 61
Belper
7b 333

next I will post details of Elizabeth's grandfather

Elizabeth's Grandparents

1841

neither born in county
HO107 857 4 1

1851

Sarah Dooley wife Higham Derbys
Reuben Lawrence son in law M 30 Tailor Whitechapel Middlesex
Rebecca Lawrence wife 30 Seamstress Manchester Lancs
HO107 2011 463 30
(so it looks like Rebecca would be Elizabeth's aunt!)

1861
3 Swadlincote St
Church Gresley Derbyshire
George Dooley head m 69 Tailor (no men) Ashover Derbys
Sarah Dooley wife 76 hyam Derbys
RG9 1962 11 15

then there is this death
Sarah Dooley
Mar qtr 1870
age 85
Burton on trent
6b 230

Here's grandad in 1871
Side of Street Swadlincote
Church Gresley
George Dooley Head W 79 Tailor Ashover derbys
RG10 2900 23 37

and as previously posted george Dooley (Elizabeth's grandfather) lived with Elizabeth and husband in 1881

Grandfather george died at the good old age of 89!

Elizabeth's father george Dooley is not to be found in 1841 -so possibly he was already in the army then???

as for Elizabeth Fitzpatrick -she could have been Alice's sister -but that is purely guesswork

There is a marriage
Jun qtr 1868
Nottingham
Elizabeth Fitzpatrick
William Dunkley
7b 273

and this could be them in 1871
Thackery Buildings
Radford
Notts
William Dunkley head m 25 Factory Hand Nottingham
Elizabeth Dunkley wife 28 Cotton Doubler County of Dublin
Kate Dunkley daughter 2 Radford Notts
RG10 3501 41 3

I know this Elizabeth's age differs a little from 1861-but as she was older than her husband it was not unusual for a wife to knock a couple of yers off her age

If you can follow all of this -theen it may be a good idea to post on the ireland Board looking for marriage of george Dooley to Alice? and baptisms of Elizabeth and george -putting the possible p.o.b. -and stating george was in the army

Hope this helps

By the way -Elizabeth gives her p.o.b. in 1901 as Athlone Ireland
