If you think there are definitely two James Whittakers, have you found an alternative candidate with a father Edmund?

James Whittaker who marries Ellen Teresa Byrne, is in the RIC, then a Police Pensioner during the years of his children’s births to Josephine in 1894.
In 1901 he is a labourer and then a time keeper.

Then if that is the case then l will disregard the Conversion record. It just complicates things.
It could very well have been a mix up at the Parish Church.

It would be good to find Margaret snr’s death.
The death you have for Edward/Edmund has him married, doesn’t it.

Edmund and Margaret's deaths are accurate. I was able to trace their other daughter whose husband was the informant on Margaret's death certificate. I was able to trace Edmund's death through his Chelsea Pension which then led me to his death certificate. The daughter lived in Lanesborough and Ballytoohey and her husband like Edmund was a Tailor when they married.
Edmund was a Tailor in the army and l'm guessing the daughter's husband may have worked with Edmund in Lanesborough and when Edmund died they moved and took Margaret with them to Ballytoohey where they had employment.
Once Margaret died they settled permanently in Mullingar.
So, l'm back to where l started but feeling more confident l have the right James. Thanks.

I thought you said you had nothing on Margaret other than the details in your first post.
I must have missed it.
So she is the one who dies in Strokestown, Roscommon district.
I have been searching Griffiths etc to try to confirm /exclude her. I should have continued reading.

Glad you seem to be sorted now.

No sign of a Margaret Whittaker death in Strokestown S.R.D. Is her name Margaret Whittaker or something else. OP, can you provide a link to her death?

Can anyone find it?

No details post 1851 UK & Wales Census for the daughter also called Margaret.
This lot stuck to naming patterns so it gets very confusing! My husband can't understand how l separate them all :D

Are you referring to the 1851 England & Wales Census?
