Michelle, that 1854 baptism record you posted says the child's mother is Julia Cahill - not Mary .

I had noticed that record before, just because of the name Cahill.

[ That child wasn't registered without a surname, as you suggested. Clearly she was registered as Riordan. Anyway , it's not a birth registration - only a church record of a baptism. - EDIT: The one Michelle thinks (wrongly) is registered without a surname is Julia Riordan 1889 - I misunderstood.]

This is the version I found:

Area - KERRY (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - MILLSTREET
Baptism of JULIANA (JULIA) RIORDAN of LISLEHANE on 23 February 1854
Name JULIANA (JULIA) RIORDAN
Date of Birth 23 February 1854 (BASED ON OTHER DATE INFORMATION)
Address LISLEHANE
Father JOHANNES (JOHN) SWEENY
Mother JULIANA (JULIA) CAHILL
Further details in the record
Father Occupation NR
Sponsor 1 DANL (DANIEL) SWEENY
Sponsor 2 MARIA (MARY) DANAHY
Priest DIONYSIUS (DENIS) O DONOHUE


There doesn't seem any reason to think that's the right Julia, any more than any of the others born (or rather, baptised) around the same time.


For instance, what about this one - and I'm not saying this is the right one, either, but at least her mother's name is Mary:

Area - CORK & ROSS (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - OVENS & AGLIS
Baptism of JULIA REARDON of N/R on 14 February 1855
Name JULIA REARDON
Date of Birth N/R N/R N/R
Address N/R
Father DENIS REARDON
Mother MARY LOONY
Further details in the record
Sponsor 1 TIMOTHY LOONY
Sponsor 2 MARGARET REARDON
Recorded Parochial Area BALLINHASSIG


Re why the Julia in Lislehane is concerned, it's a pity we can't see the original document. Perhaps it might have more info - perhaps the "parents" weren't actually the parents, for some reason.

ADDED:
Perhaps they adopted or fostered the child, and had her baptised - there's nothing to say when that child was born. She wasn't necessarily a baby when baptised.

Or perhaps Riordan is meant to be a middle name, but the record has been transcribed wrongly.

Hiya I am looking for more information for the family tree and living relatives. I was unable to upload my family tree to Genes Reunited so only have a basic tree on here.
Julia Riordan B1855 I believe her mum is Mary Riordan. I have found the following information from a facebook site I belong to:-
Name: Julia Riordan Date of Birth:
Date of Baptism: 23-Feb-1854
Address: Lislehane Parish/District: MILLSTREET
Gender: Female County Co. Cork
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: John Sweeny Mother: Julia Cahill
Occupation: Not Recorded Not Recorded

no wonder we have been having such a hard time tracing her she was given a diferent surname by her parents. Why would they do that?

Oh yes , of course - got the dates mixed up!
Senile decay?

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 26 Jul 2021 14:05

The 'senile decay' for Mary was only 12 months................Julia jnr was born in 1889...11 years earlier

As Julia snr didn't marry, you have very little chance of finding her daughter's paternal line

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 26 Jul 2021 13:53

The only chance you have of finding living relatives is doing the research, starting on here in 'search all member trees' as previously advised

Also, make sure you keep your own tree up to date on here, but without including ANY living people whose permission you haven't obtained.

ArgyllGran Report 26 Jul 2021 13:30

Is the 1889 birth for Julia with surname Riordan which I posted above not the right one?

I don't think it's possible to register a birth without a surname.

Possible death of Mary ??

SR District/Reg Area - Fermoy
Death of MARY RIORDAN in 1900
Name MARY RIORDAN
Date of Death 1900
Group Registration ID 4462390
SR District/Reg Area Fermoy
Deceased Age at Death 75

DOD: 9 Nov 1900
Address: Shanbally
Labourer's widow.
Cause of death: "Probably senile decay 12 months. No medical attention."

Informant: Julia Riordan, daughter

EDIT:
Or maybe not, unless the "senile decay" hadn't stopped her being present at young Julia's birth and being the informant.

EDIT AGAIN:
No, that last sentence is rubbish! Julia was born 11 years before Mary's death (thanks to ErikaH for pointing that out below) - I got the dates mixed up.
