[missingmccabe]

I am looking for any information on Josephine McCabe who had a child in 1934.  She lived in Hollyfield Building in Rathmines in 1934.  Any information would be more than helpful.  Please. or any direction that could put me in the right direction.  I have been searching for some time..

Hello,

I am looking for any information on my mum Josephine Reeves she was raised on Old Camden st and I believe she was schooled at Harold Cross Convent School.  She moved to Kylemore Drive, Ballyfermot when she was 16.  She worked at a florist and as a dispatcher then contracted a sickness that turned to TB. She was hospitalized for 2 years and then moved to England in 1957.. I have no pictures of her prior to her being 30 and she passed when she was 44.  I was 9 years old.  Any help on any information would be so helpful.  Thank you! Catherine

what sort of information are you looking for ?

More recent details are probably not online due to privacy restrictions etc

Is McCabe her married or maiden name .. do you  know her husband's  name ?

might be worth putting this query on the Dublin.ie/forum as there are people of that era online there who might be able to help (though the site is having a technical issue at the moment).

You might need to clarify some dates :

1. when was she born
2. when was she in Harold's Cross? the school there is St Clare's

there is a thread on the Dublin Forum re people who went to the school

My aunts went to this school - one born 1938, one born 1944.

my mother was born mccabe but illegally adopted and it was changed to reeves.  i am trying to find the mccabe due to medical conditions i suffer and that my mum died from.  i am not getting cooperation from the church or gro. any help is appreciated.

i was trying to keep these separate since no one apppears to want to help me authority wise in Ireland since my mum was born to an unwed mother and my mum was adopted.  Hence the McCabe and Reeves.  My apologies.

here's a link to the related thread : Info on Josephine Reeves Old Camden St & Ballfermot

just to be clear - is Josephine the name of both the child and mother ?

I had a quick look at the BMD index but did not see any births for the name Josephine McCabe in Dublin south (the district which includes Rathmines) during 1934.

Hi Shane,
 Yes, my understanding is that josephine mccabe (my grandmother) had my mother josephine anne mccabe at the rotunda hospital.  Do you think she was from somewhere else?

[shanew147]

I checked for births around Rathmines - the Rotunda hospital is in Dublin North. I'll double check the births on the index just in case.

I think since these posts relate to a mother & child and the details inter-link it's better to merge them to make things clearer, and also so that people dont duplicate any searches...
