Find Ancestors

I am hoping someone can help please. I am helping a friend and am stuck myself! I have found on the 1891 census John Buckley, Gas Stoker born 1853 Ireland and Margaret wife born 1853 Ireland also. They have various children including 'Honora' born 1880 Woolwich Kent (which i have seen spelt lots of different ways). However, they seem to disappear after this and i am wondering if someone can help find them please. I am unsure when they came to England and cannot find a Marriage for them either. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Mel, any ideas on what happend to them after this please?

Do any of these names sound familiar?

Howaral is actually Honorah on the original.

Anne is listed as a widow but is born in Ireland, and the other children seem to match the 1891 census.

Thanks Ninjalady, we definitely have an Elizabeth and Margaret in 1891 (now shown as Lizzie and Maggie) so that looks promising. Not sure why head of house, shown as mother, is now called Anne instead of Margaret?!

Oh Mel, dont say that!! This is my best friend's parents who asked me to do a bit of research of their family for them to get them started!! I cant really tell them they are descended from convicts, can i?

Thanks Alan, not sure if she married, but one to write down for future use anyway. No luck on the John Buckley and Margaret marriage? I vaguely remember them mentioning Margarets surname as Collins?

Hi Linda

Looking at the ages on the 1891 census for Margaret - 38 and 1901 census for Anne - 40, could Margaret have died and John re-married?

I think the John Buckley with wife Anne is the one with father Jerimiah as he was a Tailor and here is John and Anne and John is a Tailor.

I have already put up a marriage to Margaret O'Shea on my first posting!!

Sorry Mel, too much information for my poor brain to digest at once!! But O'Shea sounds like a good old Irish name for Margaret.

Thanks Ninjalady, a second marriage is always a possibility, so will check that idea out i think.

I can see a marriage of John Frederick Buckley in 1894 to Anne Cannons, but no death between 1891 and 1894 for Margaret Buckley. Not a bigamous marriage please!

Hon birth will tell you the mothers maiden name if your friend buys the cert from the GRO index should cost £7

Mel, thanks for your all your help. I am seeing them this morning so will suggest they invest in a couple of certificates to help establish more information. Honora's birth and then maybe her parents' marriage. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

As I said yesterday I think that would be the best thing to do. If Honora's mothers maiden name is O'Shea then you will know that was the right marriage. If it is not then we have to look for another marriage.

You did mention yesterday that you thought Margaret's surname could have been Collins, that too is an Irish surname as I have a relly born in Ireland with that surname.
