Absolutely no offence taken! My Hanora was born in Tipperary but apart for her birth certificate she is listed as Norah - census records, her marriage and the marriages of all her children she is Norah. Also the duaghter and granddaughter named for her are Norah.

hi rootgatherer
hanora must also be in the irish genes as my gt gt grandmother had a sister named that who is very elusive & gave up finding anything on her months ago she was last know to be alive when she registered her father,s death in feb 1902 in ireland & then she totally dissapears but thats ireland for ya all very seacrative some of them
hope i did,t offend you with my expression if i did so i ,m sorry was not ment to be

It is a mouthful! But better than your choice of expression - I give thanks every day that my parents didn't follow the Scottish naming pattern or as the second daughter I would have been named for my maternal grandmother - Norah. After starting this family history lark 30 years ago, I found her name was actually Hanora! My grandmother was rather a cold person so the name doesn't conjure up a picture of happiness whereas the Marys, Margarets and Josephs in the family have all been lovely people!

That Mary seems to be a possible as her age in 1901 matches the 1911 entry with Thomas.

Maybe this one?? But you would need either Thomas's marriage certificate or a birth certificate for one of the children to confirm.

That marriage seems likely as this looks like the daughter's birth in the same area.

That marriage looks hopeful as this looks like Annie with her parents in 1901 and the age is correct.

i m looking for a marriage for a marrige of DAVID FARRELLY to annie ????
i have found them on the irish 1911 census with there children whom i know to be right so know i have right family & on that it says they had been married for 6 years so that is c 1905 so went onto the family search site & found a marrige for david farrelly in 1905 but it doesn,t show me who his bride was but said it took place in 1905 1st qtr in mohill leitrim ireland i,m sure this is right one as in the 1911 census they are living in the same area
