Find Ancestors

Hi I am trying to find any information about my descendants who lived in Dublin circa 1790 John Francis Devine was born to a family of clerical headwear makers who lived in the city.Details of this are confirmed by my grandparents, but then the trail goes cold until John Devine was born in Leeds in 1870.
I would love to know any information about the Dublin heritage of my family
Thanks
Paul

Thanks for your help Ladies

Paul....Its a fair leap from the 1790s to 1870 ....

I cannot find any Devine..(Clerical Headress Makers/similar) around Dublin City at the beginning of 1800s...plenty Bakers/Butchers...

How have you determined the approx. date and area....

What other details have you which may help....?

The information I have which has been passed down over the years is that John Frances Devine was a Roman Catholic born to that family around 1790,believe he was baptised at St Michaels and St John's, but don't have any other details about parents or siblings.
I believe at some stage they migrated to Leeds which is where the 1870 birth ties in (that is confirmed by the way)as I have all descendants confirmed after that point.
Believe John Frances mother may have been a Mary Doyle (possibly)

Paul...There were a number of Devine Families (Ire) in Leeds early as 1841...Which family are we looking at...?

The Devine family in Leeds i can confirm are John born 1870 married Eliza Wrigglesworth children were Francis(1890) Arthur (1892) Owen(1895).

That is my brick wall I cant work back pre 1870 and close the loop to John F in 1790c

1901, just to give us something to work back from:

DEVINE, John Head Married M 31 1870 Professional Vocalest Leeds, Yorkshire
DEVINE, Eliza Wife Married F 29 1872 Tailoress Leeds, Yorkshire
DEVINE, Frank Son Single M 10 1891 Leeds, Yorkshire

Address: 2, Ireton Street, Leeds County: Yorkshire (West riding)

On the 1891 John is a vest cutter.

Paul - does this 1881 match what you have?

DEVINE, Ann Head Widow F 60 1821 Hawker Ireland
DEVINE, Ellen Daughter Single F 28 1853 Flax Spinner Leeds, Yorkshire
LYONS, Hannah Lodger Married F 19 1862 Leeds, Yorkshire

Here is his baptism from the link that I gave:

Paul....Who were John (b1870) parents..?

Marie Celeste re 2016 post -That ties in nicely re 2024 post am not sure i have no definate answer to who John (1870) parents were and in addition Eringobragh 1916 I have the marriage certificate of John and Eliza which just states his Father as (wait for it) John who was a rivetter in 1890

This 1871 might be a step in the right direction:

DIVINE, Owen Head M 44 1827 Ireland < Hatter
DIVINE, Ann Wife F 44 1827 Ireland
DIVINE, Ellen Daughter F 12 1859 Yorkshire < Spinner
DIVINE, Hannah Daughter F 10 1861 Yorkshire
DIVINE, John Nephew M 3 1868 Yorkshire
KELLEY, Hannah Lodger F 16 1855 Yorkshire

Address: Union Court, Leeds County: Yorkshire

** The Yorkshire births were all in Leeds.

Not sure if the Ann and Ellen on this 1871 are the same as on the 1881. The birth years out but that's not unusual.

This is that family in 1861:

DIVINE, Owen Head Married M 43 1818 Hat Maker Ireland
DIVINE, Ann Wife Married F 40 1821 Flax Spinner Ireland
DIVINE, Bridget Daughter F 16 1845 Flax Spinner Leeds, Yorkshire
DIVINE, Mary Ann Daughter F 14 1847 Flax Spinner Leeds, Yorkshire
