Lavery in Wicklow Town.

[Newey]

I have a solicitors letter which mentions a Mrs. Lavery  looking after my great uncle between about 1937 and 1944 in Wicklow town.

There are Laverys living in Market Square on the 1911 census.  Does anyone have directories or knowledge of a Lavery family living in Wicklow around that time.

Some descendants of Patrick & Elizabeth are still living in Wicklow Town.

Are these dates any help to you?

I’m sure you have found the Parker census in Wicklow Town
C 1901 17 in Main Street (Wicklow Town, Wicklow) Catherine, Martha, John & Peter, brothers & sisters
C 1911 16 in Main Street (part of) (Wicklow Urban, Wicklow): Catherine, John & Peter.

Many thanks for your help regarding the Lavery family.  It has cleared up a mystery for me.  Thanks also for the additional information regarding the Parkers.  I had found the details on the census and with the assistance of a couple of other generous Wicklow RootsChatters have managed to get quite a few details of this family.
 
The only thing which still eludes me is the death of their mother Catherine Parker (nee Chapman).  There are no death entries on the civil registrations which match with her.  I've bought a few certificates hoping but no match as yet.  Perhaps she died between the birth of her youngest son Peter in 1862 and before civil registration began.
