I took another look at the record that I found on the Ancestry English/Irish records and the full information was:- Honora O'Brien born 4th April, 1876. Father Maurice and mother Mary O'Brien Roche. This maiden name was what mae me think I had the correct one. The FHL Film Number is 255956.Blodwyninexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852174180640555041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-47002263371918443152015-02-06T12:45:42.439-05:002015-02-06T12:45:42.439-05:00I suspect the Honora with father Maurice you found...I suspect the Honora with father Maurice you found may be a different pair. Both names were popular in that country and time so I suspect there are more than a few.<br /><br />I don't have the international subscription to Ancestry so I can't access the English/Irish records though I can see a summary of a 1891 English census for Honora O'Brien, born abt. 1872 Cork living in Yorkshire and she isn't my Honora either. The one who I have as my Honora is the one born Limerick 1874 (taken from a civil birth registration).<br />I see a preview of a 1881 English census with a Maurice O'Brien born abt. 1851 Tipperary, living in Lancashire and that isn't my Maurice either as he was already in the US by 1881.<br />This would be an easier search for me if I could justify the expense of viewing the international records. <br /><br />And very ironic about the potato blight. Had it not occurred many of my ancestors families would be very different and possibly in different parts of the world than they find themselves now!slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-41237518324677929942015-02-06T11:20:55.813-05:002015-02-06T11:20:55.813-05:00I just happened to be looking into my husband'...I just happened to be looking into my husband's Irish, Tipperary, roots this afternoon and popped in your information. You probably know this already but Honora was born on 4th April 1876 in Limerick. The record states that her father Maurice was born in Keal. The record was card index only so I could not view it to see more. I found with my husband's relative that I was trying to find that on the baptism register in Ireland gives some intersting information. It gives the mother's maiden name and also the names of the "sponsors" or God-parents. I have been doing some successful lateral thinking recently by tracing the god-parents and/or witnesses to marriages and come up with some useful information. For example some witnesses and god-parents going on to marry and form other branches to trees.<br /><br />Have you found the family on the 1871 census? <br /><br />I borrowed a book from our local library this week "Tracing your Irish family history on the Internet" by Chris Paton. Seems to have lots of helpful information. <br /><br />Rather ironic isn't it that the potato blight came to Ireland from the USA and was then the catalyst for so many folk to emigrate!<br /><br />Good hunting!<br />Blodwyninexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852174180640555041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-33833847839992361942015-02-05T17:34:41.568-05:002015-02-05T17:34:41.568-05:00that was really interesting looking forward to rea...that was really interesting looking forward to reading more.Gill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-76374533547547074402015-02-05T16:46:20.655-05:002015-02-05T16:46:20.655-05:00Interesting history lesson as well as the genealog...Interesting history lesson as well as the genealogy!
