Glad to see the name Suitters has appeared - I found these two births but couldn't find a corresponding marriage, but if Ellen and Henry never appear to have married these could still be their children

They are Henry and Ellens children K.
Brenda sent me a PM saying that the boys of the union were reg as Duffin(Henry and Bertram) but not the girls,I guess Henry thought that girls werent worth givinghis name for some reason !

I have been unable to find any trace of Henry Duffin c1870/73 for sure anywhere on census!

And judjing by the births and baptisms for children Henry was flitting between the 2 women,Catherine and Ellen may or may not have known I guess.

Margaret on here is said to be Henrys child also,she is Brenda,s mother so I would think all the others are his too as Ellen,s husband absconded to Ireland.
Theodore Obrien not on here I note,nor to be found in 1911 or a death for him,did he go to Ireland as well?

1911

Thanks Viv

I have been watching this thread and going up blind alleys for a while. I also can't see Henry!
