Find Ancestors

I am trying to find any information on John Donoghue who Married Bessie M Mercer in Tynemouth , Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1918 .

Can anyone advise if they know of any Children or any other details .

Quite easy to look yourself for children.......on freebmd. MMN is on index after 1911

For info about the man, buy the marriage cert. It will tell you his age and his father's details (if he knew him)

Anthony

I have looked on Findmypast and cannot see any births with the given fathers name and mothers maiden name

Sorry

Irene

Irene,

Thanks for trying , they may not have had any children , it was guesswork .

Tony

Is this Bessie?

Births Mar 1900
Mercer Bessie Mary Portsea 2b 528

Could be her in 1911:

MERCER BESSIE MARY 1900 11 Gateshead Durham

which would put her closer to the place of marriage.

If not, she may have been previously married and Mercer was her first married name, so births would show her birth surname rather than Mercer. But I don't see a previous marriage of a Bessie M to a Mercer.

The
Donoghue-Mercer marriage certificate would be useful for that reason and also to get the age and father's name etc for John Donoghue.

Thanks for this the John I am interested in is my G. Fathers youngerf brother he was born in Liverpool 1890 ,who moved to the North East with his younger Brothers Michael and Patrick .

And this looks like the brothers in 1901 you mention - for reference

DONOGHUE, John Head Married M 48 1853 Bricklayer Labourer
Liverpool
DONOGHUE, Mary Wife Married F 33 1868
Liverpool
DONOGHUE, John Son Single M 11 1890
Liverpool
DONOGHUE, Michael Son Single M 9 1892
Liverpool
DONOGHUE, Patrick Son Single M 6 1895
Liverpool

And it John we want Yes

I think this would be the household in 1901 -- John born 1890:

Civil parish: Toxteth Park
County/Island: Lancashire
John Donoghue 48 - born Liverpool
Mary Donoghue 33 - born Liverpool
John Donoghue 11 - born Liverpool
Michael Donoghue 9
Patrick Donoghue 6


Oops, you corrected it, Irene. Want to delete the incorrect one you'd posted before to avoid confusion?

... But I think Anthony knows all this, he was just looking to see whether they had kids.

I can't see deaths for them. Might they have emigrated?

I really think Anthony is just looking for what became of John and his wife!

I wonder whether this might be John in 1911:

DONOHUE JOHN M 1891 20 Liverpool Lancashire
(born Liverpool)

before joining his brothers.

Thanks for all replies , John was aged 12 when his Father died in 1902 , I was shown an old photo of the brothers when I was a kid and told they all moved to the Newcastle Area .
I have received information of Michael and Patrick but not John it could be he returned to Liverpool but as far as I am aware he had no direct family in the Area , maybe he never married .

Um ...

"I am trying to find any information on John Donoghue who Married Bessie M Mercer in Tynemouth , Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1918 ."

So ... you hadn't actually verified that this is *your* John Donoghue? (Like, from the age and occupation and father's name on the marriage certificate ...)

JaneyCanuck,

Thanks again for replying , no I havn't applied for Marriage Certificate as yet ,expensive business as previously experiened ordering numerous copies of family records .

Scousemouse

Well you can't get far without expenditure.......if you wish to have an accurate tree.

And asking people to find out what happened to someone whose identity you are only guessing at helps neither you nor anyone else.

You didn't even tell us the birth year of the person you were looking for, although you obviously knew it.

I guess if we'd all left it where you started, Flick -- you can find births by searching at FreeBMD -- that would have answered the question. ;)

It is just interesting that there doesn't seem to be a good match for the two people in death records, or anything likely looking in outbound passenger records ...

Flick,

Please read my reply to JaneyCanuck dated 29/09 re year of birth for John re 1890, also for information I have used my expenditure not always with the right results .

Scousemouse

You didn't mention his year of birth in your original posting.............you asked for details of a man who married, who we were led to believe was a relation of yours, when in fact, the marriage was that of a man whose name happened to be the same

The only way to determine whether that was the man you seek is to get the cert, for his age, and his father's details.
