O'Shea Family
« on: Monday 24 August 20 06:57 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information on the O'Shea Family. The father, Patrick Jeremiaha O'Shea was born 1857-1859 in Ireland. I believe he married Eliza or Elizabeth Robson in 1881 born 1861 London.
 The 1901 census shows a large family in St Pancras, Ellen 1884 Mary 1886 John 1889 Agnes 1892 Timothy 1895 Lizzie (Louisa) 1898 Daniel 1900 plus Jane 1903 (1911 census) I have been informed that there may be a Miriam and Patrick ??. Also that Ellen was born in 1901 and not 1884 & died in 2001! I have had difficulty tying up the birth years with those on BMD.
A big ask I know but any assistance greatly appreciated David

What information is it that you need on this family.  1901 states that they are all born St James, Middlesex except Patrick.  Patricks occupation was a Tailor - RG13/138 Folio   142 Page 33

O'SHEA, ELLEN       mmn ROBSON 
GRO Reference: 1884  March Quarter in WESTMINSTER  Volume 01A  Page 522

Also that Ellen was born in 1901 and not 1884 & died in 2001! I have had difficulty tying up the birth years with those on BMD.


You really need to explain this - what was her name when she died.  What other information do you have on her.

The 1911 claims 8 children born alive, 5 still living and 1 died.  So some inconsistency here.

Incorrect information put down about number of children?

Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China
Strong: Wiltshire
Watson: Cambridgeshire
White: Bristol
Windo - Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire

The 1911 census I have shows John, Agnes, Louisa, Daniel & Jane. Ellen & Mary are missing..died, married or moved away. Which one died?
The person who told that Ellen was born 1901 was her granddaughter who just knew her as Aunty Ellen.I personaly think the 1884 birth correct.
There are no two birth dates across the 1901 & 1911 that match, probably due to illiteracy.
Thanks for all your help. David

I have found the birth registrations of all 8 children.

Looks like Ellen married in 1906 to a John Hill

There is a possible marriage for Mary in JQ 1903 to either Walter Attfield or Cornelius Sullivan but not having any success in checking that in the 1911.

Thanks again.David
