Thank you for this full andinformative information.

On researching births I have come across this anomoly. Joseph Rockwood West Derby September quarter 1932 vol 8b page 969 mother's maiden name Riley. Edward P Rockwood West Derby December quarter 1932 Vol 8b page 913 mother's maiden name Riley. Can anyone suggest an explaination for this seeming anam...

Does anyone know of an on-line source for the above-mentioned census. I am wanting ot know who lived at 32 Fishers Lane, Dublin at that time. I shall be grateful for any help with this.

I have the birth cert for my Agnes but there is no middle name.
. She was born in Nottingham 4th November 1900, so name and age not quite right.

i will have to think about tht one.

Thank you dickiesam for the death you spotted. I am going to take a punt and order the cert in the hope it si the right one certainly the age at death is correct.

Correction the marriage was for a Thomas James Rriley

Thank you for all this info. However the marriage to Margaret Kinsley is not the correct one,. I have the marriage cert and although it is for a Thomas Joseph Riley his father is William George Riley which is not correct.

Thomas Joseph Riley 11 was born in Dublin in 1879. I have his marriage cert in Nottinham. 1901 census has them living in Derby and 1911 census he is in the Bridewell (on a charge of being drunk and disorderly!) and the rest of the family are visiting friends, so I have no home address. Like his fath...

Yes the family do seem to have decamped to Dublin in the 1870's and I also wondered why there were only two children from the marriage of Patrick and Elizabeth. Ellen's date of marriage would have been roughly 1865/70 but I cannot trace it in English or Irish online records I have searched Dublin bu...

As suggested by dickiesam I have spent some money on searching Rootsweb (for all of Ireland) to trace the birth/baptism) of Ellen and Thomas children of Patrick and Elizabeth Riley . Came up with an Ellen Reiley baptism 13 May 1849 (approximately corret year) in Parish of Buttevant county Cork fathe...

I do not know where Patrick and Elizabeth were in 1871 but Thomas married Isabella Lily West in St Peter's Church,Dublin on 1 November 1870. Neither Patrick nor Elizabeth signed the marriage certifcate. Thomas and Isabella's address is given as 11 Denzille Street, Dublin (which we have visited) but ...

Yes Colette, Ellen married John Sweeney but I have not been able to trace their marriage. I cannot find the marriage in English BMD's and I have applied to Family Search for a microfiche of Irish marriage records but they seem to have lost it! He was born in Donegal and died 9th November 1918 and El...

Thank you for these suggestions which I shall follow up. I have family history from 1861 cenus to 1911 but unfortunatley known of them state a place in Ireland that the family came from.

I have reached a brick wall in researching my 3 times ggrandfather Patrick Riley the earliest record being the 1861 census when he and his family were living at 48 Johnson Street Liverpool. Although there are Patrick Rileys in the 1841 and 1851 census there is no certainty they are the person I am l...

I have just discovered on the 1911 census a Thomas Riley who was in Bridewell Prison, 10 Cheapside. I am not sure if I have the correct person althouhg the age is right (32) and the occupation of carter could be right but he was born in Dublin not Liverpool as the census has it. Also he was Thomas J...

This could be the plot or row number

Thank you for this instant reply but I do not quite undetrstand. Does this mean all the the people mentioned are buried in one grave despite the wide variation in dates? It sounds like a paupers grave not unusual for my family!

thank you Mary A and Katie. Unfortunatley I live in East Sussex so unlikely I will be able to get to Liverpool anytime soon.

I have just discovered that Ellen MacSweeney an ancestor died on 14th December 1927 at 81 Prescot Road,Knotty Ash and her husband John MacSweeny died at the same address on 9th November 1918. Can anyone tell me the most likely cemetery where they would have been buried. I think they were catholics. ...

I have now had the opportunity of applying to the GRO for the birth refereces I gave and they were all negative. They did send me one wrong birth cert despite me giving them cross references, so if anyone wants a cert for an Ellen Riley born 12 August 1849 at 46 Brick Street Liverpol father Terece m...
