This is Thomas in 1901 living with his married sister Maria Hansbury (married 1891) and her family, the 10 month old Thomas McDonagh seems to be the son of his brother Patrick who marries as John Patrick McDonagh to Caroline Coggin in 1900.

WOW! Thank so very much for all of your wonderful research. That is amazing. 14 children, that's blown me away. I thought there were only 6!

Do you know how I would find out what happened to them all? Would I have to buy death certificates?

Kayak

Kayak Report 12 Jul 2017 13:22


Do you mean the four children that died, if so, yes you would need the death certificates.


I have just noticed this burial posted earlier by Chris Ho:)

Burials...

McDONAGH, Thomas (Retired soldier, age 43).
Died at 125 Park Rd; Buried on June 28, 1962 in Roman Catholic ground;
Grave Number 3613, Section GG of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: ~. Remarks: Removed from Didcot.


Says: Remarks: removed from Didcot

there is this probate record in 1962 that looks to relate:

That's correct, Thomas McDonagh and Jessie Jackson were my great grandparents. I live in Didcot where Thomas was the Regiment sergeant major of the barracks. I remember my nanny Jessie, I was 12 when she passed away.

I've just found the following:
Could this be an addition to the 14 children of Mary Ellen and Thomas McDonagh?

McDonagh, Ilena Anna (of Parkin Lane Park, born 1906-06-21).
Baptised August 29, 1906, by Oswaldo Dolan at St Maries, Sheffield Centre.
Parents name(s) are Mariae Swallow & Thomae ().
Note: Sub conditione.

Kayak Report 13 Jul 2017 09:41

No, not another child that's Elaine one of the twins, If you look at the baptisms posted by Chris Ho:) on 21/6/2017 at 05:07 you will see the birth dates of both Ilena Anna and Maria are the same.
As Martin & Mary McDonagh were Irish they were most likely catholic and so the baptisms were probably recorded in latin.

These are the actual birth registrations (Surname mastakenly recorded as McDonough)


MCDONOUGH, ELAINE mother's maiden name SWALLOW
GRO Reference: 1906 S Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 555

MCDONOUGH, MARIA mother's maiden name SWALLOW
GRO Reference: 1906 S Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 555

These are the death registrations for them:

MCDONOUGH, ELAINE 2
GRO Reference: 1906 S Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 333

MCDONOUGH, MARIA 2
GRO Reference: 1906 S Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 334

The number 2 after their names relates to their age at death but does not mean 2 yrs old. If you look at the year and quarter (Sept) you will see that they match with the year and quarter of their births.
The GRO have not yet found a way of recording the ages of children under 1 year old so 2 (not in this case) could mean 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 months. In this case the girls were born on 21/6/1906 and baptised on 29/8/1906 (as recorded on their baptism records) so were just over 2 months old at the time of their baptisms.
As the page number recorded for the deaths follow on (p333 and p334) the timing of their deaths must have been close together.

Burial for Elaine:

McDONOUGH, Elaine (Child, age 2 mo).
Died at 2ct 2 St Johns Walk; Buried on September 22, 1906 in Roman Catholic ground;
Grave Number 2984, Section GG of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
