Memerys and Grays Ringsend

[maggieryan]

Hi
I am searching family roots that go back to William Richard Memery, b 1816 or so and married Susan. I see there are few threads already and I have checked these. I have quite a bit of info after this (tho` am finding it hard to join up the branches of the Memery family.

I have found three children, Betsy, MaryAnne (my GG mother) and William Richard but suspect more. Wondering if there was a daughter called Susan born around 1850 or so ?

there is a Susan Memery born 18 November 1902 address . 54 Thorncastle Street (that is Ringsend ) Her mothers Name on Birth cert is Susanna

and a Susanna Memery (just over the bridge in South Lotts) died 24 Jan 1920 aged 53. that would mean she was born 1867

there is a Susan born Thorncastle Street 1870 but the record was transcribed as Memory not Memery. Father and Mother James and Mary

And finally I think the one you were looking for
Marriage of JAMES HODGINS and SUSAN MEMORY on 26 January 1874 .
the marriage record is a bit faded. But the address is Ringsend and Brides father is William.

so married in 1874 , this Susan must have been born 1850's

November 6th 1928 we have death record for Susan Hodgins aged 78 (100 South Lotts Road. widow of a fisherman)
So Susan was born 1850

Gray is a family name. Ringsend is the place in Dublin where they came from

Ah!
No mention of Grays on the original post?
No mention of Ireland?
No mention of Dublin?

No wonder I was confused!

Hi

Many thanks for replies
Yes, Ireland, Dublin, Ringsend is part of Dublin and Gray is family name
Sorry! Half asleep by the time I got to this last night

I have read through the other two threads and that has all provided very useful information

I had not spotted Susan Memery's death so it good to get that confirmation

The first child of William Memery and Susan ? was Betsy in 1841 I think who was born in Ireland and two others also which I have found in the Irish records so I dont think Eliza , born in Plymouth in 1863 is the same family (though probably a branch of the family)
