Our Elizabeth
« on: Wednesday 21 September 22 11:20 BST (UK) »
I haven't been on here for such a long time, so here goes.
I am trying to find any information on an Elizabeth Cronin abt 1810 probably from Co Cork. I believe she was in London, Southwark which used to be part of Surrey. She is living with Jeremiah Harrington and they have two daughters Mary and Margret 1835 and 1837, and my line Jeremiah was born in 1840 the same year his father Jeremiah Harrington dies in1840 in Southwark, he is buried in st saviors churchyard C of E. I cannot find a marriage for Eliza and Jeremiah, so I am assuming they may not have been married if he was a protestant. I know Harrington is a Catholic name but it is also an English protestant name.
Elizabeth gets married in 1843 to George Plunket in a catholic Belgium chapel and here she states she is a spinster, not a widow?. She has one daughter with George before he dies two years later.
By 1851 she is living with Michael O'Connor and is down as his wife and with them are my GRT x 2 grandfather Jeremiah Harrington and his sister Sarah Plunkett.
Elizabeth isn't with Michael for long and moves into Marylebone.
I have various censuses after 1851 with Elizabeth she is on her own.

I am thinking, 1, she wasn't married to Jeremiah Harrington
                     2, she wasn't married to Michael O'Connor

I am sure whatever she did was just to survive, but I lost as she was in the UK in the early 1830s and I am lost to her birth, I do know her father was John Cronin.
Any Cronin families out there who have maybe lost my Elizabeth.
 :) :D ;D ???

The parents were Jeremiah and his wife Elizabeth Cronin and her maiden name was Cronin.

The Latin word 'olim' probably translates more accurately as 'formerly.'
