Who were the witnesses to Mary Ann Ryan's marriage?Maybe that could help.

Was Church of Ireland common in Kilkenny area? Maybe she just followed each of her husband's denominations i.e. CofE?

If she married in C of E twice in England, maybe she was baptised Church of Ireland rather than as a Catholic? The baptisms posted seem to be from the Catholic registers, as they are available online.

Norah can be a diminutive form of Hanora.

Where did you see Carpenter for Patrick, 1883 (London, Ancestry) states Labourer for his occ.

(oh, now seeing was 1861 Marriage (1st July, Residence at time for both, St. Marylebone) (notes a Mary Ann Ryan as witness)

(as Minor on 1861, and 38 on 1883, for Age given)

(her Burial on above)

Chris :)

(in case of anything, both below have Father, Patrick Ryan. occ. Labourer) (but then probably a lot with those names!)

Mary Ryan
24 Nov 1862 John Muckla Christ Church, St Marylebone

Mary Ann Ryan 3 Mar 1872 John Wood Christ Church, St Marylebone

Looks like it.

However, there's still no sign of an Ann Norah's birth, unfortunately.

So her baptism/birth is either 1843/44

1841 was just a circa for me. Nothing factual about that date.

1891 also says she was born 1844. Are you assuming 1841 from her age at marriage?
Her death details imply birth c1843.

It would be helpful if you would tell us everything you know about her, instead of us searching for things you already know.

Where and when was her first marriage? I don't see a likely one on FreeBMD.

1911 for helpers' reference:

1901 - Ann Parrott DOB 1844

yes, second marriage

She was a widow aged 70 in 1911.

Have you found her in earlier censuses?

For helpers' reference - a second marriage for her, presumably:

Marriages Jun 1883 (>99%)
JOHNSON Ann Norah Marylebone 1a 943
Parrott James Marylebone 1a 943

died 1925 aged 82

She married in England to James Parrott. 1911 census shows her place of birth as Kilkenny Greens Bridge Resident

These two baptisms have father's name Patrick - but no mention of the name Norah:

Neither Ancestry not irishgenealogy.ie show any marriage for an Ann Norah Ryan in Kilkenny.

Who did she marry, please? and when?

Thank you very much for these. Unfortunately, I do no think they are correct.


Her marriage certificate states that her father's name is Patrick and he is a carpenter.
