I'm looking for Henry Lane and Honorah Fitzgerald who were Bridget Lane, my Gt Grandmothers parents. All I know is from her birth cert. born 21/3/1851 at 14 Romney Place,Holland St. St.John's, Westminster. Father was Henry Lane, occupation listed as Police Constable. Mother listed as Honora Lane nee Fitzgerald. Bridget was baptised a Catholic at St.Mary's Chapel,Westminster. And when Bridget married Henry Mooney at St.Mary's on 24/Aug/1882 it sayes Henry Lane decd. Could anyone help with any info on these 2 ?
Thanking you all in advance.

This is 14 Romney Place,Holland St. 1851 .Only 10 days after Bridget was born .Not the Lanes you would expect but is there a connection ?

Henry Mooney 65
Bridget Mooney 60 b.ca 1851, Minster
Annie Mooney 23
Norah Mooney 17


Married 40 years

Had 9 children, 1 died




so it looks as though they got married a number of years after they first started living together.



Unfortunately, the family seems to be Catholic, and there are few records from Catholic churches on the internet.

The Family were Catholic and I have checked at St.Mary's Chapel,St.Peter+St.Edwards Church and Westminster Cathedral, and found nothing about Bridgets family.
Many Thanks
Bill

Hello Bill, did you get Bridget's maiden name from one of the children's birth certificates or another source?

pm from Bill:

"Hi
I got Bridget Lane's name from both her BirthCert. and her Marriage Cert and her name also is the same on her childrens Birth Certs.
Regards "

I wonder???

I think I would possibly buy the John Burgess and Honora Lane marriage certificate...... It should give Honora's maiden name.

Probably Hannah's ( Honora's) death;

Well People, again Thank You so much for your help. Looking at the Baptism entries for 2 of Bridget's children Peter+Ellen, Godparents are listed a John Burgess and Margaret Burgess !
