Does anyone have access to Irish BMD's before 1837? I'm looking for the birth of Ann Long, around 1836/37, daughter of Daniel and Mary. It is possible their surname could have been something like O'Lang, or similar, before they came to England, and that it was changed to Long. This is not definite though.
The 1911 census tells me Ann was born in Macroom County Cork
Can anyone help? I would be sooooo grateful.

where in the mainland UK did she move please?

message from poster

She moved to Southwark, Surrey (now London). Was married at St George the Martyr, Surrey, in 1858.

you can reply directly on here Denise rather than send messages

who did she marry?

She moved to Southwark, Surrey (now London). Was married at St George the Martyr, Surrey, in 1858.

Sorry, I've never used these boards before. She married John Sullivan.

Ann had two brothers and a sister, all born before her in Ireland. They were Timothy, William and Ellen.

There is an Ann Long 1842 in Co. Cork, father Daniel. Listings much later for the names you gave, possible but seemingly unlikely that they are of the same family as Ann.

Hi Denise,

there is a possible baptism on this site;

rootsireland.ie

Action Source Surname First Name Year County
Church Baptism Long Ann 1836 Co. Cork


It's a paying site though.

There are also 2 possible marriages for Daniel Long to Mary in Cork from the time period 1817-1843.

Thank you for your help, but I have checked and none of these are correct.
I am hoping my family will be found in the Macroom register.

Denise...For the time you are searching you need to know if Ann was RC/Prot.?
When it states she was b. Macroom then you need to know if that is Macroom Town per se or one of the 23 Townlands within Macroom Civil Parish.
Identifying the Church Reg.where her Baptism would be dependant on the above....
What about other family members..have you checked them out to see if they state "where" they were born.

Ann was RC.
Until the 1911 census, when Ann had written that her birthplace was Macroom County Cork Ireland, it had only ever stated Cork as birthplace for her siblings Timothy, William and Ellen, and also their mother Mary. So I am guessing it would be in Macroom itself, or possibly she would have stated somewhere different.
Sadly that is the only information I have.

Denise....St George the Martyr Southwick is Church of England...???

Hello again.

According to the marriage certificates of Ann, Timothy, William and Ellen... they were married in St Georges Catholic Church in the district of St George the Martyr, Southwark
When Timothy married in 1845 (the earliest of the four marriages), it was the Belgian Chapel in the district of St George the Martyr, Southwark, and underneath their names it states married in the Belgian Chapel according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Roman Catholics.
Not sure why you would think it is Church of England? Be interested to know.
