Looks like they may have been married longer than shown on the 1911 census.

If you check out the 1901/1911 Irish Census you will find the Moorehouse' and Connors families living Shannon Hill...next to Jer.is bro John and family and Chris Moorhouse..relative (lodger) up the st.are Moorhouse families

Looking at those census records would mean that they were born 1861c so they couldnt have married in 1874

You did say in your opening post that he was born about 1871 so I posted the possible birth record...not sure if youve seen it as you havent commented?

You need to work out the dates and it might help to know how you have got to the couple?

Hi working it out i make Jeramiah and Elizabeth to be born 1861 thankyou

Gee

Gee Report 1 Dec 2011 15:44

Hi

Thats the point I was making.

How could they have married in 1874 if they were born in 1861....it would have made them 13 years old when they married

blondedays Report 1 Dec 2011 16:05

hi i think because they could not read x write they could be a few years out i do know it was not uncommon to marrey very young the son michael is my grandfather and i only found out recently that his mother was elizabeth moorehouse through my mother

I agree Ginny. I think Blondedays needs to tell us how she got back to them. Otherwise it could be another worthless ficticious tree in the making.

It just doesn't work by taking facts and making them fit!


Blondedays can you tell us where you got Elizabeth's maiden surname please?
