Advise /Guidance needed finding Irish relative

[Macbev]

Oi! Do you not think the Mary born 10 Feb 1889, bap 11 Feb 1889 in Dublin (see posts 15,16) are relevant? I know her second name was 'Catherine', not 'Cathleen'.....but they tend to be pretty interchangeable in my experience of hunting out Irish families. And the other children are all there as on the 1901 census.

Sorry Bev, I must have missed that. Sometimes I start a post and it takes several hours to actually post it, so I don't see what's gone in between!

Yeh, having looked back now I see I have wasted my entire afternoon! lol

Amongst the various addresses on Albert's war record, there is Mrs Feggans 26 John Street, Ayr, Scotland. As Albert appears to be English, would Mrs Feggans be a relation of Mary's?

The witnesses to the 1877 Kelly-Brophy marriage lived at 6 Lttle Ship St (Jacobus Kelly) and 36 Synge St (Mary Ryan) The groom, John Kelly lived at 3 Lennox Lane and the bride, Mary Brophy at 94 Clanbrazil St. All these addresses are near each other in Portobello, Dublin.
Incidentally, would I be correct thinking that 'Jacobus' is the Latinized version of 'James' (or the Irish 'Seamus'? I used to have a site that offered Irish/Latin equivalents, but I've lost it.


I suspect the 1885 Agnes Xtina Kelly bapt. would be 'Agnes Christina'.

Filling in a few gaps:
Christopher Kelly died 1878, scarlet fever
Christina Kelly died 11 Sep 1883, also of scarlet fever
Elizabeth Ann Kelly b, 26 Jan 1880,bap St Nicholas, Dublin, d. 8 Oct 1881, dropsy


There is a tree on Ancestry with these people -seems to be accurate.

You are right on both of these.

Any family as witnesses to the marriage?

Not family members, can make out a Fred Hardy and I think Mary Lizzie Coates

No idea sorry. the only concrete information I have that I can trust is the marriage certificate and that is proving not very helpful.
