HENNESEY Family

[christmack]

Could someone please help me with any details on the following family :

George Newcombe HENNESEY (and various spellings) married :

1. Margaret DELANEY in 1874 in Limerick and

2. Edith LYNAS in 1889 in Co.Derry

George Newcombe HENNESEY died in England in 1904 and he was listed on the 1901 LONDON Census as a Journalist/Author.
His son John was also with him in 1901 as a Bookeeper.

George's 2nd wife Edith and family were in Armagh for the 1901 and 1911 census so the family must have gone to England between those years as their Daughter Doris was born in England C1904.

Children to Margaret were :
1. Anna born 1875 died 1875 in Limerick
2. John born 1876 in Limerick
3. Emily Margaret born 1878 in Limerick
4. Maria Blanche born C1881 and died 1881 in Limerick

Children to Edith were :
1. Elizabeth Annie born C1891 in Belfast
2. George William Douglas Newcombe born C1892 in Armagh City
3. Emily Mary born C1894 in Armagh City
4. Doris born C1904 in ENGLAND

Thank you,
Christmack

Hi,

Thank you Kingskerswell.
I have been having trouble finding Edith and family after the 1911 census.
Also what happened to John from the first marriage as I don't know whether he stayed in England after his Father died in 1904.

A George William Hennesey married Evelyn Boyd in 1914 in Armagh.

The details fit nicely with the 1911 census, at the time of marriage he's a grocer from Drumadd, but his father's occupation is an engine driver.

OK, his father is long dead by this stage but is there a possibility that he was (pre journalist / author) an engine driver?

Gaffy,

Thank you so much. That confirms the bride for George.
Also in the 1911 census George was an apprentice grocer but he was still living with his Mother Edith in Armagh.

Thank you again,
Christine

Limerick Chronicle, 23 Oct.1875: Death- HENNESEY- On the 19th inst., at Foynes, Anna Mary, the beloved child of George N. Hennesey, Clerk of Petty Sessions, aged eight months.

Based on his occupation father might hav been John?
