Find Ancestors

I've completely come to a standstill, am trying to find either the births, deaths or the marriage of the above.
He was born around 1869 in Dublin,she was born around the same time, maybe a year or two earlier. They were living in Tralee, Kerry in 1901 and 1911, where my grandfather Kevin Patrick was born, but they had four children before him, who according to the census returns were born in England.
I don't know where or when they married,or where they lived whilst in the UK...???
There are so many Dunne's and Foley's, it's a bit like the proverbial needle in the haystack.....

Welcome to the boards, Wendy.

Could you post the 1901 census, please, so we can try and find them in England?

Thank-you

Don't know if this is son George or not - per FreeBMD it's the only George Dunne birth in England 1897-9 with that spelling of the surname:

Births Sep 1897 (>99%)
Dunne George Edward Wigan 8c 70

These are the ones born in England:

Dunne Annie 6 (1894/1895)
Dunne James 8 (1892/1893)
Dunne George 3 (1897/1898)
Dunne John 4 (1896/1897)

There are births in Haslingden and West Derby for some of the siblings, but no obvious marriage showing.

If the birth surname is Dunn, then many more available.

They could have had more children born before James, as about 24 at his birth.

Or could have been married to others, previously

Looks like the birth ArgyllGran posted could be correct - from Lancashirebmd:


Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1897

SurnameForename(s)Sub-DistrictRegisters AtMother's Maiden NameReference

No other births on Lancsbmd with MMN Foley, but it isn't listed for most districts.

I'll let Wendy know how to find her replies......

Thanks for your input guys.......much appreciated..........!!
Those were the census returns I have, information on the births in England is really useful, funnily enough I'd jotted those down whilst researching some time ago, and had forgotten about them,probably because I'd been told the family were always based in Hampshire....
This just reminds me, you should'nt trust family whispers until you've seen it in black and white. :)

Do you think that I'd a possibility for their marriage please? Not see a possible birth for an Aaron John Flanagan though. Perhaps a birth for one of the children would give his full name?

Did you notice that George is "Boarding" with John Gearey 9.5Russell st. on 1911 Census...James doesn't appear to be in Ireland..
The 1911 census shows John and Mary married 21 years 8 children and 8 still living...

Well found Eringobragh! I had a wee look but wasn't spotting George in 1911.

Definately well spotted about George....
Rootgatherer, I think it is the marriage, cant find any more with those names..... Thanks for that.

just an update...... I'm not sure now that Aaron John Dunne is the one,
I obtained the marriage certificate of him and Mary Foley and his father is Gideon, then went back through the census returns, only to find that Aaron John was born in Staffordshire.....
Back to the drawing board,but thanks for your help guys.
