Angelina Report 4 Dec 2012 15:51

I'm looking for any information about Kate and Annie McCarthy who were sisters. I know that Kate lived in Jamaica Road Dockhead Bermondsey in 1907 but can't find her on the 1911 census so she could have been married in between or may even have died. I've tried searching previous census but because I have very little information I'm finding it difficult. I know that Annie moved to Australia and was living there in 1907 in Port Adelaide and that she married someone with the surname Pereira. I'm not sure if Kate and Annie were actually nick names. I know they were related to my family but I'm just not sure how.

Thank you also for this information! I think I need to track back on this Kate McCarthy. I guess she must have been born around 1892, I If I go back further in the census records I might find her with an Annie McCarthy and maybe even their parents! Thank you all very much for your help!

There is a marriage in 1910 between William Robert Walters and a Kate mcCarthy.
In the 1911 census he is with his widowed mother. He is noted as married under one year but there is no sign of Kate.

Her father is noted as Timothy Augustin McCarthy deceased book binder

This is the death that Astra found.

1927 495/91 PEREIRA Annie Manuel PEREIRA [DH] Norwood

EDIT No this lady was Anne Quinlan. At least you can rule her out. They married in Port Adelaide in 1885 which is way too early.

Could have done with some idea of dates.

Are we saying that the Annie you are looking for was born 1845 and Kate was her sister ?

How do you know Kate was living at Jamaica Road in 1907 ?
How old was she then ?

Oh my goodness, thank you all so much for your help! "Alviegal" I think you've cracked it!!! I knew we had a "Catherine" but I didn't think that she was Kate as I could find no record of Annie being a sister. Bryan McCarthy born in 1818 and Ellen Burk nee McCarthy are my Great Great Great Grandparents and Catherine was their daughter. In 1845 I have Hanora their daughter being born but don't have a record of Annie. Bryan always worked at Hays and Cottons Wharf and I don't think he was ever a Horseman, however I know records are sometimes not quite right so maybe they've thought it said horseman rather than Wharf Labourer. However looking at Catherine going through the years Annie must be the daughter of Bryan and Ellen as well. Could Annie be a nick name for Hanora? This would be why I have never been able to find out what happened to her!
The reason I have been searching for so long is because my Auntie has a little book which says to my sister Kate McCarthy from your loving sister Annie PEREIRA and the address was to 17 Jamaica Road from Port Adelaide :-) I had not dates at all just that the date written on the book to Kate was in 1907. I can't believe that you all managed to find so much information based on what I gave you! Thank you so so so so so much! My Auntie will be so thrilled. It's so nice that there are people out there so willing to help.

Hi Angelina,

Well, I didn't expect to find the ladies you were looking for but, thank goodness Annie married men with unusual surnames!!
I have no idea if Honora is Annie or not but the year of birth does match. Perhaps Annie is a middle name?

But then there is this. Perhaps this is thinking rather too deep, though.

Annora \a-nno-ra\ as a girl's name is pronounced an-NOR-ah. It is of Latin origin, and the meaning of Annora is "honor". English variant and phonetic version of Honora.

Annora has 7 variant forms: Anora, Anorah, Honor, Honora, Onora, Nora and Norah.

For more information, see also the related name Ann.
Read more at http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Annora#6JIXOuDDkq4eRhil.99


As for Bryan being a horseman, looking at the image again, it might read storeman. Perhaps someone else could give their view?

So glad we managed to crack this one, it has been fun.

Best wishes, Liz

PS I also have Pereiras in my family, originally of Portuguese descent living in Goa.

Hi Liz

That's very interesting about the names. I've never been sure if it say Hanora or Honora but I'm thinking it's Hanora and they've called her Anne or Annie as a nick name. However Anne or Annie being the middle name does also sound a possibility. I'm going to have to hunt down a birth certificate for her. I have the page and volume number so I must do that now! I could never find any details about her but if she was called by a different name that makes much more sense!

Ahh maybe Bryan was a Storeman, that makes sense as he was working on the Docks. I did a lot of research on Bryan as I wanted to know more about where he's from. The unfortunate thing is, he was born in 1818 Ireland and all I know is that it was a parish near Killarney and it was within East Muskerry. I did try the Irish website as they were meant to have put on most of Cork's parish records however he isn't on there. I did try a few researchers that are in Ireland but as I can't provide an actual Parish they can't really help as there are about 26 Parishes of them and it could be any!

You know they say it's a small world, maybe your Pereiras are related to mine! :-)

Thanks so much again Liz it really is appreciated and my Auntie is going to be thrilled!
