Thanks all especially Gins, can't believe I missed all that info on Free BMD.
I should know better, family memories are helpful but often well off the mark.
Have loads of info now to research.
Thanks again

John McMahon born 1887 Ireland, married Mary Foley 1912, Birkenhead( all this info thanks to your help) John had a sister Theresa McMahon who married a Moreland(don't know correct spelling) and stayed in Ireland. Looking to find the parents of John and Theresa?
Info from family memories, so maybe well off the mark but need to check for a birth of John and Theresa birth and hopefully parents in confirm whereabouts these McMahon's came from.

Hi Nicola

Do you know when Theresa McMahon was born, roughly?

Did John (1887) have any other siblings that you know of?

Thanks Gins for your help, i have asked the family and they don't have any more info about Theresa Birth or if there were more siblings.
They know? that she stayed in Ireland and married a Morland or similar spelling, I have spent quite a bit searching Rootsireland for john and Theresa with no results.
The most likely birth of John is the one that you found in Tulla in 1886.
Any advice you can offer me on where to go next to find their parents would be great.
Thanks again to all.

Hi Nicola

You would need to send for the birth certificate for John (1887) from the GRO Ireland to identify his parents

Are you sure Teresa was born in Ireland, I'm not seeing a birth for her, there is this?


Liverpool, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906


Name:Teresa McMahon

Birth Date:18 Feb 1882

Baptism Date:24 Feb 1882

Parish:St Anne, Lancashire, England

Father's Name:Patritii Mcmahon

Mother's name:Maria Farrell



This looks like the parents (marriage) of the above


Liverpool, England, Catholic Marriages, 1754-1921

Name:Mariam Farrell

Marriage Date:8 Nov 1868

Parish:Oratory of St Philip Neri, Lancashire, England

Spouse's Name:Patricum McMahon

Father's Name:Edwardi

Spouse Father's Name:Joannis

Thanks Gins again, I will send for birth cert to confirm but your info looks like this is the right family. Lesson learned family info is no more than a rough guideline.
Thanks again

I have sent off for the marriage cert of John Mcmahon and Mary Foley in 1912, before I purchase his birth cert, confused about John's sister Teresa being born in Uk? and still yet to find Teresa's marriage to Mr Morland apparently in Ireland?
No doubt I will need your help again.
Thanks

Related to the above I am looking for the parents of Gladys M Beasley born 1913, Alma Beasley born 1915, Margaret and Nellie Beasley born 1918, Ethel M Beasley born 1921, John H Beasley born 1923. All born in Swansea and mothers maiden name Currier, maybe more Beasley/Currier children including James Beasley who died aged 18 on a frozen lake? I have searched 1911 and BMD's with no results for a Beasley/Currier marriage?

Hi Nicola

I've done some digging and I'm pretty sure that this is the marriage and parents of the above

great work finding the Beasley info, from that I have been able to find the Curryer's in the earlier census and the marriage of John Curryer and Caroline Pratt in 1878, Wycombe. Thanks Gins

Nic

You're on the right trail, well done :-)

If you ever need further help, post back here

I always need help.
Been looking for the birth of John Beasley born 1880 and found a 1881 census for him (John Baseley) in Daventry aged 0, parents George and Mary Ann Baseley, other children Aaron, Phoebe,George, Julia with John the youngest.
Thinking this could be his family but found no other results to back it up?
So easy to follow the wrong trail.

Hi

You would need the marriage certificate to check his fathers details

Ref above

Got marriage cert for John McMahon and Mary foley 17th Sept 1912 Birkenhead.
John's Father is Patrick McMahon(deceased) Baker Journeyman
Mary Foley's Father Daniel Foley (deceased) Railway labourer
No mention of Ireland? the 1911 census for both john and mary give their birth place as Kerry Ireland?
need to find both father's in census? the married couple where born in 1884 and 1886? This is driving me mad, you get a cert and think it has all the answers but no just more questions...

Need some help to confirm the birth of John Mcmahon born 1886(born Cahersiveen, Kerry according to the 1911 census)
Now the family insist that he had a sister Teresa who married a Mr Morland.
John Mcmahon married Mary Foley in 1912 Birkenhead, He's father on Marriage cert is Patrick Mcmahon Deceased in 1912.
1901 census Caherersiveen Kerry,John Mcmahon born 1886 parents Patrick Mcmahon and Bridget Moriarty but no Teresa only a Teresa Mcmahon born 1882 Lancashire, parents Patrick Mcmahon and Mariam Farrell?? What to do next?seems I need to confirm john Mcmahon was born in 1886 in Kerry, with patrick as father, How do i do that? Tried searching roots Ireland no results.

Nicola....I am confused ...You originally were looking for the McMahon's from the Co Clare now you are looking at the Co Kerry.....Does all the Primary Source info.you have confirm the Co Kerry.....????

The Patrick McMahon (1901) plus family are not to be found in 1911 Census although some of the older children are still in Caher...
