Find Ancestors

Thanks for this. It seems as if they are on the 1901 census as someone emailed me to let me know!!! The reason I couldn'f find anything was as I was looking under Maragaret Donaghy and they obviously called her Catherine! What a family I have!!!

Here's their marriage... Marriages Dec 1894 Donaghy James Lake Clara Poplar 1c 1015 Can't find them in 1901 though lol Although.... James Donaghy abt 1869 Ireland Head Barking Essex Clara Donaghy abt 1871 Bow, London, England Wife Barking Essex Catherine Donaghy abt 1896 Bromley, London, England Daughter Barking Essex He does something in the Water Works.

Morning For those of you who was asking about Margaret Donaghy and her birth cert, it finally arrived this morning! She was born in Bromley 25 Sept 1895 to James Donaghy and Clara Donaghy (nee Lake!) Thanks all for your help! Tree had suddnely gained many branches

I'm trying to find the 1st wife of James Henry Amer and have the 2 I found on BMD. Apart from purchasing his wedding certificate, is there any other way of confirming who he married? I will buy the wed cert, but wanted to close all other options first. Ta

no worries!! give the other site a go as well......better to have many eggs in one basket than just the one egg have fun!!

Can't believe the 'dirt' on this family. My father is quite amused by it all. Thank you all so much for your help! Now looking into his first marriage!

hmmmn, i think we had better wait now, not unless you buy marys Bcert as well, just to check that she does belong to same parents. lol tracey, oh how lovely.. I was like that with my first.. not wanting to know, i was convinced it was a boy, (but really wanted a girl) when baby was born couldnt believe it..... a girl!! was dead chuffed (i didnt find out either) second child the same, but thought was a girl.....wrong.... BOY 3rd, well i was having none of it this time round, I asked LOL and it was a girl.. she is now 17wks old, If it'd been a boy i'dve died!! lol, but am not bothered one way or other, IF i have anymore i'd like another boy, so my 2 3/4yr old has a baby bro as well as baby sis

Julie, MMN isn't on Mary, I checked that one already lol My GGrandmother had 6 children with a man she wasn't married to, yet they were all registered in his name and her married and maiden name on the certs. It is my first :) Don't know what it is. Said we didn't want to know. Think I kinda like the surprise. (thought your post said big so I answered that too!) Think it's gonna be huge though from the scan pic lol

righto.. according to the index, BOTH grandad and John are reg'd as amer with MMN as Donaghy which would indicate they WERE married, just checking on Mary now, but whats betting that MMN isnt on that bit LOL Tracey, is this your first? and do you know whether B/G?

Birth cert should arrive this week and I will post on here to let everyone know what we have. Am now looking into his first marriage! Naughty boy!!! hee hee

You got the right one ;) I finish at the begining of March. Can't wait! Will be putting my feet up for a month, then all hell will break loose lol When is the birth cert due? Would be nice to be able to tie up the loose ends. Might be an idea to get the marriage cert too, to find out which poor woman he deserted lol

What a family I've got!!!!! I couldn't find anything on Margaret in the 1901 census. Plot thickens! Tracy - just seen the message from Julie. COngratulations!

well, I havent found anything on the marriage side, so think we need to wait now for the birth cert, otherwise we could be chasing our tails LOL Tracey, awww when do you finnish, for mat leave? (hope i got the right one now) otherwise i'll feel a rite lemon LOL Julie

Would certainly explain why no-one knows much about him. Skeletons aren't generally talked about, especially if they resulted in children born out of wedlock. I had a quick look in 1901 for Margaret, but couldn't see anything positive. Wonder if she's a dark horse too? lol

Excellant! It sounds like it could be him as on James Claire Amer's birth certificate he is a printers manager! Yeah getting somewhere. Sounds like James Henry was a bit of a naughty boy then! Julie - have ordered Margaret's birth cert so should arrive this week.

In 1901, James Henry of Preston fame was living in Bacup, and his occupation is Printing Machine Winder! His father is an Inkeeper in 1881 lol Hi Julie - feeling a little better thanks. Wish I was at home though lol

This looks like his Mums birth though Name: Margaret Anne C C Donaghy Year of Registration: 1895 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec DISTRICT: Poplar County: London, Middlesex Volume: 1c Page: 577 if you get this, you can then find out Her MMN.... so she 'should' be on 1901 with this info :)
