O'Briens in Limerick

[FamilyStory]

Ah thank you for the marriage.  So, John was born c. 1874 in Limerick according to the census.

To get children for this couple

as children born 1900+ can put both Surnames in!

James is there but I will leave Search to you as I know the joy people get from finding kin for themselves, rather than me just posting them.


Enjoy (  if we have correct family     )

I get 7 children using that search....

[FamilyStory]

Thank you for highlighting these searching techniques.  I've used that website before but wasn't aware of some of the short cuts!

[FamilyStory]

Yes 7, and it seems father was a 'Storeman' early 1900s - just working through them!

Also, I had NO idea about the ones born post 1911 so THANK YOU!

I'll also look up marriage in 1891 to get father's name.  I'd like to try and confirm a birth for John, which should be easy c 1874?

[FamilyStory]

Yes, strangely, the births from 1901-1914 all state that the father is a 'Storeman', not a Butcher; stranger still, when the birth of James and Kevin in 1909 and 1912 both state their address as being of Lower Gerald Griffin Street, which tallys with the 1911 census for the family whose father is a BUTCHER?!

Arrrrgggghhhh!

BUT Ellen was born 1895 in the Lying in Hospital, Bedford Row, of 14 Arthurs Quay, Limerick City, Ireland (father a `Pork Butcher`)
