You need Patrick's marriage cert to find out who he named as his father

Who, when, where did he marry?

I'm sorry, but I really don't think that the 1871 Potty posted (as per your info) is correct...........unless 1841 is NOT the right family

One sure thing - they are not the same family

Thank you all very much, Potty, that's the one I think is right, Patrick (1835) is my GGGranfather, and my Nan always said her mother Mary told her they were from Mayo, but family rarely talked about anything then! Jacqueline....I actually don't know where the Jeremiah came from, again, stories, no actual records, I cannot find birth records for any of the children and as far as I know she never returned to Ireland. I just found her on the 1881 living at 22a Warren St, as the children look right, and she was 70 so that's about right. According to some family members, it was quite common to say you or your children were born in England not Ireland given the amount of prejudice towards Irish people.
Does anyone know how I could find a marriage for her, or even a death for her father, who definitely was called Jeremiah? :-D

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription
White Rose Court, Saint Botolph Bishopsgate, East London, Middlesex, England

This tallies with 1841, where Edward's birthplace is Not in County...............as opposed to Ireland

It also makes more sense than the 1871 with regard to Catherine's birth year, in that 1841 rounded down ages of the over-15's, and the woman in 1871 was ten years younger

1841 fits the info Julie gave about the family members, and the woman's occupation, which is Fruiterer

We could do with knowing how Julie connects with these people............which of the sons she descends from, if any.

I think this is the 1871 Julie means:

Name:Catherine Kelly
Age:55
Estimated birth year:abt 1816
Relation:Head
Gender:Female
Where born:Clanimarie, Mayo, Ireland
Civil Parish:St James Clerkenwell
Ecclesiastical parish:St Silas
County/Island:London
Country:England
egistration district:Holborn

Catherine Kelly 55
Mary Kelly 27
Bridget Kelly 24
John Kelly 23
William Kelly 18

Sub-registration district:
Pentonville


All children b Ireland, except William. Don't think this is the same woman as in the 1841, unless she returned to Ireland to have the older children.

Please would you say how you know the first name of her husband

Is it from a child's marriage cert?

Can anyone help me find my ancestors please? I think Catherine ( c1811) came from Claremorris, Co Mayo,at least that's what it looks like on the 1871 census, although the summary has it as Clarimarie, very difficult to read! She left Ireland with her five sons, father and brother, no husband, Jeremiah Kelly listed anywhere, and she is counted as a widow on the 1841 census, in Spitalfields London, working as a market trader, selling fruit it looks like, I cannot find a mention of her anywhere, as for years I have been looking in the wrong county! Family memories have mentioned Mayo, so this looks likely, if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be so grateful, all her boys were born in Ireland, the eldest named Edward, I'm really stuck!! :-(
