Find Ancestors

Thank you MarieCeleste..... much appreciate your advice.

Not looking for numbers, looking for facts.

Appreciate your comments.

Gavin...Dont know if you have this but John Mulcahy married Rose Bonner (BONNAR) 1888 Reg Middlesbro.

The 1881 Census shows Bernard "Bouner" and family living Dobby's Blds. well it may be worthwhile checking 2 doors along from them as there is a "MULCABY" family with son John ....(another possible mistranscription...)
A Lawrence "Mulchay" Death Reg 1880. aged 43 (Middlesbro.)

As an aside.. I am not too convinced that "Mulcahy" would eventualy become "McKie" but who knows..if you have family info.relating to the change then it will eventualy show when you get the Certs....

Hi

The family information I have is just verbal from my mother who says she recalls being told as a child that her mothers family name McKie came from Ireland but the English locals couldnt spell it so they wrote it at it sounded in the Irish accent..... so it was often written as McKie by the english people they worked for.... then they just stayed with it... could be pure rubbish i guess.
The other information is also in line with my own, however I got mine from another relation who may have gone down the wrong line so I definately need to verify it all.
As Bazz provided earlier in the thread I can see John Mulcahy marrying Rose Bonner and Rose's parents as Bernard Bonner and Mary Carroll.
The death of Laurence Mulcahy would fit with the one mentioned before as being married to Margaret Herron... with John as their son.

The Laurence Mulcahy and Margaret Herron connection (as I read it) comes from a tree on Ancestry so you would after be needing to confirm that particular marriage and subsequent children...
I will have a look around Southern Munster (Where the surname originates) and see if I can find anything....

Gavin...For ref >>> 1881

If this is the family...there were twins Martin and William
also large gap between laurence and Ellen....probably some children missing...

mulcaby?

thats the line I got.... looks like the same one you mention from Ansestry?

Gavin....I dont have access to other sites so am only going from previous threads on here...
You need to get the Birth/Marriage Certs asap to confirm you are connected to the correct families..(going back)..
The variation in spelling for Mulcahy is numerous and the only definative is Ó Maolchathaigh.( you wont be finding that other than in Ireland) !!!
Am away to get sorted afore the Match comes on...Will be back later unless its Head in the Gas Oven time...

2 certs received;

Marriage;
08th December 1917 (Middlesbrough 9D 1169)
William McKie & Evelyn Glover

William McKie, aged 23, Shipyard Labourer, father is John McKie (deceased), Ironworks labourer.
Evelyn Glover, aged 22, Spinster, father is William Glover, Wharf Labourer.
Address for both is 52 Theodore Street, Middlesbrough.


Birth
19th October 1895 (Middlesbrough 9D 532)
Eveline Glover
Father is William Glover, cant read occupation.. Theredorm??
Mother is Matilda Glover (formerly McLarkin / McLain?)

Rose McKie - wedding certificate, shows her father as being William McKie (Docker)

If William Glover worked as a Wharf Labourer when Evelyn married could the occupation on the birth certificate for Eveline Glover be Stevedore? (stevedore - A person employed, or a contractor engaged, at a dock to load and unload cargo from ships).

Sometimes a capital S can look like a T.
