Maddock / Maddocks / Maddox / Maddix

[ElaineB1975]

My great grandmother was Mary Maddock, daughter of Daniel and Mary Maddock (nee Mansfield) and having done some research I see that there was a lot of misspelling of the surname hence the above variants.

I am looking to see if there are people out there who have links with the Maddock / Maddocks / Maddox / Maddix family as they were mainly based in and round Butcher's Lane / Mayor's Walk / Barrack Street / Newgate Street.

Any information would be great.

TIA

Do you have any dates to help us?

There are Maddocks in the 1901 census.

Do any of these relate?

Unfortunately I don't and because of incomplete records I cannot find the birth of my great grandmother Mary Maddock but can find her registration of marriage in 1884 and her father & mother registration of marriage in 1865 (which I've attached).

I can't get any further than what you have discovered and am trying to connect the dots as I do feel that they are possible relations but cannot join them together as when my descendants married or had children if they couldn't spell they just took the spelling that was written down by the Registrar hence the different spellings.

........I cannot find the birth of my great grandmother Mary Maddock but can find her registration of marriage in 1884 and her father & mother registration of marriage in 1865 (which I've attached).

You didn't attach the second record, so this is the marriage of your gt gt grandparents in 1865.

Don't rule out this birth record for your gt grandmother Mary. Even though it says John, maybe his wife called him John as well as Daniel       MMN Mansfield    #469

The birth record listed by KG above with father listed as John is probably your Mary as there seems to be only the one marriage between a Maddox and Mansfield in Waterford or surrounding counties.
The address on the Civil cert is given as John St. which adjoins Newgate St.  John St. is in the R.C parish of St.Johns, Unfortunately the baptism registers for the 1850/60's are either lost or very badly damaged.
On the 1901 census they are shown in Newgate St. as Maddix. Both Daniel and Mary Mansfield give their birthplace as County Waterford with the children shown as born in the city.

Daniel died 29/6/1907. He is indexed as David on www.irishgenealogy.ie but cert is Daniel.

Daniel died 29/6/1907. He is indexed as David on www.irishgenealogy.ie but cert is Daniel.

Good find, nowel 

The error in transcription as David rather than Daniel has been reported.
Here's the link-

I notice on GeoHive that Mayors Walk (where Daniel died) was just around the corner from Newgate Street.

All the addresses listed are within 200yds of Mayors Walk.
As regards the different forename for Daniel  - the names of some of his children changed between baptism and civil registration :
Brigid - baptised 28/2/1869.   Civil reg  - Catherine dob 24/2/1869
Anastasia  - baptised  26/11/1882.   Civil reg - Ellen dob 15/12/1882  registered 8/1/1883

Thank you both for your help.    Everything that you have found and attached is exactly what I had found myself but was unsure of.

What threw me off scent about the Daniel Death was the daughter's name was Bridget Ryan as I had researched and found she had married a John Gough in the USA but looking again I discovered that she remarried in 1902 to a Michael Ryan and has herself registered as a Spinster so one mystery solved.

Glad I published it here now as you've just confirmed everything that I was suspecting was correct.
