James O'Reilly or Reilly

[heywood]

Thank you daisynook 

It’s hard isn’t it - or at least I think so.
I know I am digressing but is this right?

Marriage 1947 Kensington
James Reilly and Mary Kate Barton

Do you have a copy of the certificate? It looks likely that M K’s sister, Anastatia married at the same time.

Birth
Mary Kate Barton 1923 Kilkenny

Death
Mary Kate Reilly 2006 Brent. Her birthdate 14th August 1923. So that looks good.

I can’t see a death for James Reilly in 1973 which would fit with the information you have given.

Would you give the death record details you have please? Is the year of birth shown as 1928?

[daisynook]

No, no, no, am I not explaining it very well am I?  The James I'm trying to find information on is the elder born around 1880 in Dunmore, Galway married to Ellen Bergin born around 1880 too d.1981 in Kilkenny.
The James who died in January 1973 in an accident too died in London buried in Camden, London he was my friend's father b.1928 Mary Kate was my friend's mother, son of the James the elder.
Sorry don't have a copy of certs.

I have just heard a little more info on the trolley bus crash that it crashed and then caught fire.

Yes, I am on those lines but trying to establish a birth for James jnr which would lead us to the right father. As there is no death for one born 1928, I was trying to find out any other helpful information.

James Reilly deaths

March quarter 1973 St Pancras - birth date 6th April 1889

There is a James Joseph Reilly killed in a car accident in North Acton in March 1977 and death registered in Brent as was Mary Kate’s. He was born in 1915.

If you are definite about the 1928 birth, it would be best to check with the birth certificate.

I will check Dunmore again though for father.

I know it was 1973 for James Jnr death.  This was my friend's father.  He was a scaffolder and someone hadn't secured the scaffold properly, it collapsed and he fell, died instantaneously.  You are right, that birthdate cannot be right.  I'll get onto her and ask his dob.

[daisynook]

My friend says her father was born 1924 although she doesn't have anything definite!! Sorry

[heywood]

My friend says her father was born 1924 although she doesn't have anything definite!! Sorry

Oh dear  there are no likely deaths in that case.

I saw what looks like an inquest in June 1973 in the Harrow newspaper. It mentions scaffolding but no name in the newspaper snippet.

[daisynook]

Well, here I am again, hopefully with a little more information.
I have found that there were other members of the Reilly family who went to US and died there - Mary Reilly who married John D Ellis Franks, Thomas Paul Reilly d.1934 and his wife Honor Nora Ryan d.1959 in Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio and  buried in Calvary Cemetery.
Could these clues possibly lead anyone to the James Reilly I'm searching for?  Any help appreciated
