No idea. It just gives the mother’s maiden name but they match 1911 census and number of children born/alive.

ha ha though clutching at a straw there is a Laurence there as a second name and one of the births of Jane Briens I found had a Lawrence as a father!

[heywood]

Yes I wondered that but there are several births in the wider county area too.

I think Thomas’s father was John.

There are published trees where the military records seems to have been downloaded but it is still Fold3 so can’t be seen.

Often you see on those records details of a marriage. I think, though, that permission had to be sought to get married so who knows!

FindMyPast looks to have the record too.

They do look as though they are their children.
Edith was my NaN.

Morning,
Just wanted to let you know that Thomas and Mary’s marriage date is on the 1911 census as 1889.
The only one I found that matched was in south Dublin,but it didn’t have Thomas mentioned.
Could anyone have a look for me please?

[Kiltaglassan]

....Thomas and Mary’s marriage date is on the 1911 census as 1889.

The 1911 census asked for the number of completed years married so the marriage year (as calculated) could be 1888-1890 depending on if they knew their marriage year.

[heywood]

1911 shows Mary Jane as 37 yrs with  22 years of marriage.
A marriage year could then be 1888-89 as already mentioned but often, if there was no marriage, a date around a year before the first born child was invented.

What name are you searching for with the Dublin South marriage? I have looked for Mary and Jane but no Cooper spouse.

[bully]

Hi,
The marriage I found in south Dublin 1889 was a Mary Jane O’Brien in the Jan-March period.
