Anne was actually Nancy she hated her name so everyone called her Anne on her request

  • Hi Jacquie . . . 

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out . . . 

    When first I search the 1911 Census . . (see below) . . I find a John Judge  . . residing in Cloghan (Offaly/Kings Co.)

    aged 32. . . which would see him born in 1879.

    He appears in the 1901 Census . . at a different address  . . . 

    this may or may not be YOUR relations . . . but indications would suggest that they are . . .both Judge and Dunican are not really common Irish names.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    Finding ..MARY... in 1901 . . in her Maiden Name  . . . would appear to indicate . . that she was married between 1901 - 1911.

    However . . records of marriages in this time zone  .. . are diffacult.

    __________________________________________________________________

    Next I attach . . a Birth Cert . . for a Mary Donigan of Clonmacnoise in 1879 . . . (below)

    Father "Peter " . . . Mother . . Catherine Kelly . . . 

    Marriage Cert. 1874 . . .Peter Dunican (45) Widower - Catherine Kelly (21) . . . . Carrowkeel Kings . . . (below)

    I searched for a Marriage Cert. of his Father . . . Thomas . . . married circa 1829 . . . NO record . . . 

    I searched for a Birth Cert. for a Thomas . . .born . . approx 1800 +/- 10 yrs .  . . nothing

    _______________________________________________________________

    Birth . . . John Judge  b. 1876 in Edenderry, Kings Co.  . . .Father " John " . . . Mother --- Anne Heffernan

    I searched for the Marriage of  . . . John - Anne  . . circa 1876 . . . nothing.

    (below) Anne Heffernan . . . born 1858 . . . in Daingane Kings.

    _________________________________________________________________________________

     

    As regards your Mum . .  . Josephine b.1932 . . . and all her siblings  . . . NO records are YET available . . . as the subjects may still be living. . . . 

    ____________________________________________________________________

    Hopefully . . . some of the above will assist in your continued search for ROOTS . . . 

     

    Cheers . . . Eamonn.          ( I am not residing in that area - so  - no local knowledge )

  • Thank you Jack 

    I am in contact with John Sean's son john in Cambridge and Mary's daughter collette. Sorry to hear about your grandad. In last few years I have lost my two youngest brothers Joseph and Jeffrey. I remember going to owens in Dalston and they used to come to Guildford to us. I am trying to find out what children's home mum was in after their mother died.
