Davy and Kearns Families.

[Kiwilong]

Hello Fellow Members.
I am researching my Wife's family history and are having difficulty obtaining birth certificates for both her parents.
Her father was Augustine John Davy born 1897(parents John and Annie) we believe, and her Mother was Hannah Mary Kearns born 1899 (parents James and Mary). Both born in Dublin apparently.
Is anybody familier with these families, still perhaps living in Dublin,who can provide us with some of that essential family background?
Cheers and thanks in anticipation.
Geoff.

Name: Augustine Davey
Reg district: Dublin North
Record type: Birth
Date : Jul - Sep 1897
Volume: 2 / page: 533

looks like a good match, you can order a cert from the GRO (www.groireland.ie) using these details

The Dublin North district covers north City.

also a possible for Mary :

Name: Hannah Mary Kearns
Reg district: Dublin South
Record type: Birth
Date : Oct - Dec 1901
Volume: 2 / page: 519

there are also two possible matches for Hannah in Wexford in 1899 and 1900,

Hello Shane.
Thanks for your interest and info regarding Augustine and Hannah Mary.
We have actually purchased the certificates you mentioned and in the case of Augustine, there is a strong likelyhood that it is correct although there are one or two anomilies but I have a feeling that the birth was registered by a relative stranger due to the place of birth!!!.With Hannah Mary however,it does not match the details given for the family in the 1911 census where she was 12, ie born 1899,and Father's name and occupation is wrong. Also, I think this girl died aged 0. The same with the Wexford Girl who I think died age 1 and in any case Fathers occupation and Mother's Christian name is wrong. This is why we are so frustrated with a relatively modern ancester who doesn't seem to appear in the records.
Therefore, the hope that we may get some feedback from Irish family members still living.
We live in New Zealand and all contact with the Irish family has been lost.
Thank again and regards.
Geoff.

Hi Kiltaglassan.
Thanks very much for posting info regarding my wife’s family. I have checked and she did in fact have this information but I very much appreciate your effort on her behalf. Unfortunately I lost my dear wife in 2022 but her genealogy endeavours will be valued by our descendants I’m sure.
Regards.
