Find Ancestors

I have drawn a blank finding information about my great grandmother Lizzie O'Hara who was born in Belfast c1873 to Robert O'Hara and Annabelle (?) . At some point they moved to Glasgow where Lizzie married my great grandfather, John Cruickshank, on 25/8/1891

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Elaine

If you check out the MC of Lizzie on Scotlands People it will give details of parents.

Is this your Lizzie in 1901 please?

I don't see her parents yet in 1901.

This looks like her brother Robert living with her married sister Agnes in 1901. Could the parents have died or returned to Ireland? Have you looked on Scotlandspeople for possible deaths for them? Agnes's marriage certificate should say if they are deceased. On here it doesn't say if Robert (Junior) is a widower but that looks like his child Annabelle?

I think we have two different O'Hara families. Here are the ones that Eringobragh has found on the IGI. They are living in Belfast in 1901.

Residents of a house 15 in Hillview Place (Shankhill, Antrim)

Agnes O'Hara Pedigree
Female


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event(s):
Birth: 13 JUL 1878 Antrim, Antrim, Ireland





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parents:
Father: Robert O'Hara Family
Mother: Anabella McKibben OHara

Now that does look good Eringobragh! I do think that the mother was probably Anaabelle give that the son Robert seems to have named his daughter Annabelle.

Have found an Annabelle McKibben b Belfast to Thomas McKibben and Anne Wallace but that is abt.1860...possible for Agnes but not for dob of Lizzie..!!
"Maura" needs to get in on this one...she can find a needle in a haystack..!!

births & marriage on www.ancestryireland.com

There's a death on Scotlandpeople for a Annabella O'Hara nee McKibben 1897 Bridgeton estimated year of birth 1845

For anyone of Belfast ancestry, it is well worth looking / posting here -
http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/

I believe that her birth registration can be found here:
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c=fs%3A1408347
An index of Ireland civil registration including births, 1864-1958, marriages, 1845-1958, and deaths, 1864-1958.

There's a tree on ancestry that has these people in it, they have Robert O'Hara sr. dying 1907, plus the have the name of the Annabella parents.

Thank you all for your replies and input...Lizzie Ohara's mother is definately Annabelle McKibben as I could see that on Lizzie's marriage certificate ..Thank you Maura, I can now add siblings to my great grandmother's side.

I have just discovered that I am actually the 2nd cousin (through Lizzie Ohara) of a family friend who's son was the best man at my daughter's wedding 3 years ago. A very small world indeed.

I am new to this and must say I am rather impressed at how helpful your replies have been...thanks again all.

Elaine, I don't know where you live but if you can manage to visit the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, they hold the Poor Relief Records. These can be very usueful when tracing Irish ancestors who cam to Glasgow. They often give more information than can be found elsewhere. Do remember that often people claimed because they needed hospital treatment and were no longer able to work. For example the family maybe have had to make a claim in 1907 when Robert died. Hope this helps and good luck with your research.

You may get the result in census, birth, deaths. Among Scotlandspeople records
