Wow Rose, you certainly dont hang about! thank you for all that information. I have charted out the "birth years" and theres a large gap between Harry and Rose. I am going to see if I can find Jack in that Gap.
Many thanks.
As to whether my mother was in Ireland in 1911, if she had been taken there by her father to see her Grandparents they would have both been 85! the address i have for 1861 is Sion Lodge,12 Garville Street Rathmines, Dublin. Something else for me to chase!
Will let you know if i find anything. Melanie.

WEll, the whole Kent experience is back to Ireland it seems, and I am no good on Irish records, hope somebody is better than me.

But where is your mum in 1911? Surely not in Ireland?

But could be. Who with though?

Kate Atha CRYER is Reginald CRYER'S Mother. Have all her info plus parents, siblings.
Have wondered if Annie married Reginald in Ireland as thats where Kate's family came from, she is a Bapty by maiden name.

Okay, Chorlton Jan 1906. 8c/927.

But where in 1911?

At a loss. Why not with mum Annie, and why is Annie called Kent. That could just be an enumerator's mistake.

Does your mum have any siblings?

Well, Melanie, we all love a challenge!

So your mum was not down south in 1911, but in good old Manchester, and Moss Side to boot, sad to say not the best part of town

Does anyone have any idea who Kate Atha Cryer is?

My Mother as on b Cert.
Elaine Patricia Maud CRYER. December 14th 1905. Father Reginald CRYER. Corporal Army Service Corps. Mother Maud Cryer formerly KENT. Informant Kate Atha CRYER present at birth. 35 Saint Bees Street Moss Side, Sub-district of Hulme, County of Manchester.
Marriage Cert. not found.

Rose, Charlie, Ida and Sam all born Ireland.

KENT Harry Harris 20 Sept 1887 Cork, Ballinspittle. Naval Officers records. Not sure how to confirm ?
The Harry you picked up is living at 79 Exeter Street, born 1882, Annie was born at no. 67 Exeter Street in the same year. Could this be the son of George KENT snr's brother?
Could well be the right Reginald J. CRYER but I have stuck that on the back burner for the moment hoping to find where my mother was placed in1911.
You are all being amazingly helpful and I couldnt be more grateful.

Melanie,

He's going by his second name in 1911. See my previous post.

MaureeninNY,

That's the one and he goes on to marry Annie L Cross in 1913. Was he actually divorced from Annie Maud at that point?

Hi Melanie

You are not doing anything wrong, just testing things out as we all need to do.

So some of the Kent children appear to have been born in Ireland, but not the youngest ones? i.e. Annie Maud Harris Kent 1882 and George Kent 1886. We aren't sure about Jack and Harry, or the one child who died.

But I now assume your grandmother is Annie Kent, supposedly married for 6 years in 1911 to Reginald Cryer Johnson, and your mother born in 1905, but neither Reginald nor your mother are shown in 1911.

What was your mother's name?

1911 Census.
Well that left me in shock!
Annie has herself as married for 6 years but still carrying her maiden name of KENT.
My Mother was born to her in 1905 by Reginald CRYER. the Census records NO children to her. Where was my mother?
Harry KENT
Jack KENT both crossed out so assume parents gave names in order of birth... guessing Ireland again as followed by
Rose KENT Lowerstrand? Co. Cork Ireland.
Charlie KENT Kinsale, Co. Cork Ireland.
Ida KENT Ballally, Co. Cork Ireland.
Sam KENT Ballally, Co. Cork Ireland.
9 children born. 1 had died. no name given.
At least I now have all the children even if i have come across some strange goings on! Thank you for your help.

Melanie,

You really need to take a look at the 1911 census as was suggested.

Apart from George and Annie, the other children don't appear to be born in the UK.

It will also tell you how many children were born.
