Birth Records

Elizabeth 7 Sep 76
Mary 26 Feb 79

Census give them as Elizabeth 78/79 and Mary as 80/81 as does her death.


It's a bit close for Hannah to have two children in 1879 one in Feb and another in Oct.

Either the mother had the girls convinced they were younger than they were, or it's the wrong family births we are finding. The former seems the most likely.

Yes I agree with the former too. I don’t think this is the wrong family - it’s too much of a coincidence that they live in the same area. It could have been the case that Lillian didn’t like her birth name, hence why she went by her nickname.

Gives her father as a Cabinet Maker, doesn't say he's dead.

[Sop_AF]

Yep that’s it! I saw that, however the 1901 Census which places Lillian in Centenary Row earlier in the year (as per the marriage cert) says that Hannah is a widow at this point. I’m sure it’s the right family now - but not sure what the cabinet maker business is about!

[Sinann]

Think we need to make sure McAuliffe is correct.
Cabinet Maker may be a fib.

[Sinann]

Interesting that Daniel is an upholsterer on his death record, matches a bit with cabinet maker.

True! Possibly it was some sort of family business?

[Sinann]

Dathai where have you got Daniel in Dublin, I've looked over the thread twice and can't see it.

sorry found it.

father John a tradesman, again not listed as dead.

Marriages stop at 1904 for the Pro Cathedral. I was hoping it would have his mother's name.

[Sop_AF]

I'm now completely sure that this is the correct family. The address on the registration on Hannah Kenny's death and Daniel's death is the same as the address on my great-grandmother & great-grandfather marriage certificate.

It must have been that Lilian is the same person as Elizabeth Ellen. My mum was saying that a member of family on her side had no idea that she was 3 years older then she thought she was, so it's obviously not completely unheard of to not know your actual birth date in this time period. Hannah Kenny couldn't read or write so perhaps she didn't really know the exact dates of her children's births.

I must say a big thank you to you both Sinann and Dathai! You got me so much further in my research in one day than I could ever have done by myself!
