Hobart - Ireland
« on: Saturday 18 May 19 18:15 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, I have been doing some research for my dads friend, as he knows nothing of his dads family. All he has is his dads birth certificate and a story of how he fled to England from the Irish army? but he doesn't know when that was and he died in Leicester in 2008. His birth certificate says he was born Michael Hobart 1926 castlegregory, Ireland to parents Liam hobart and bridget Ashe. I think James hobart and Catherine walshe were liam/William's parents but I can't find anything of there births, marriage or deaths. I found a few brothers and sisters of William but it looks like a few ended up in America and a few in hammersmith London, not sure if any stayed in Ireland or how many there were but it's very hard to find strong leads. Ultimately the goal is to find any living relatives possibly cousins for him to speak too.
Thank you in advance to anyone how can help or advise where to look. :)

Hello,
Just in case you haven’t got it, here is the marriage certificate for Michael’s parents. You are right with the names but note the variation in spellings. It may be useful in searching other records.

If you have access to Ancestry, there are some published trees with siblings and history you could check and compare.

William 1876 of James and Catherine Walsh that would explain why he is a Naval Pensioner on marriage

There is a Naval record on Ancestry listing service.
The date of birth is shown as 1879 but there is a note that the true date is 1876.
