Find Ancestors

I have updated my genes tree a bit more now.

And been contacted by another family enthusiast who thinks her ancestor John Maher, born in Ireland in 1845 who is the son of a Charles Maher might be my Charles Maher's son by an earlier marriage.
it is entirely feasible and both were tailors and they lived in the same small street, Swan St. Old Swan, Liverpool in 1873 to 1874 at least. Charlie Maher was born there and so was Mary Ellen Maher who may also have been the witness at my grandmother's wedding in 1893.

Can anyone verify this for me please?

and hope I haven't got things wrong again.

Sorry I didn't check sooner. I have the birth certificate of their son Charlie born in Liverpool 2 years later and have Mearns as Anne's name already from that.
I have all their census returns in Liverpool to the parents' deaths. And Annie's death in 1914.
Her brother disappears from the records after their mother's death in 1906.

I have got nowhere with any of the Irish addresses sadly.
I tried phoning several. The naas email bounced every time.
It would be good to find a marriage for Charles Maher and Anne Mearns. I also wonder was Annie their first child or not. They were older than average parents for those times. It could be a second marriage for one or both of them.
Another point is that I have most up to date trees on ancestry, (Power, Ward and Charlton Trees) cos I find the Genes system less easy.

Thanks again.
Anne.

Have eventually found Anne Marie's birth Oct.'71 (IGI) mothers name Mearns....cannot find a corresponding Marriage.

Anne...Was it Anne Gannon that Charles married (1868 Reg.Naas) ?

Anne ..Which Charles and Ann Maher belongs to you the ones in Toxteth Park (1881) or the one in West Derby.?..There is a 20 year difference in age. Do you have Annes maiden name from the L'Birth Cert.

The GRO(I) index thru 1958 (excl N. Ireland post-partition) is available at:

hi Katie,

the email address failed.

I'll try again in office hours. have you any other suggestions?

thanks.

Anne.

PS

all my Irish ancestors were RC as far as I can see from their marriage places etc.

thanks.

Anne.

thank you very much.
will email now and see where I get.
Anne.

I have emailed Irish churches for details of baptisms etc in the past and they have been most helpful. This is the email address for Naas [email protected]

my gt. grandparents Thomas Power, Dublin and Letitia Coleman, Meath, married in Birkenhead in May 1861, and Thomas was born in 1862, Charles Maher and Anne Mearns were in Naas in Kildare in October 1871 for the birth of my grandmother Anna Maria Maher.
They came on to Liverpool for the next child's birth and the rest of their lives. All 4 Irish gt. grandparents lived and died in Liverpool my own home town.

I only have William Power book keeper, and Richard Coleman farm steward to take me further back. although it is possible that Charles had a son John 1845 by another wife.
Would love to get further back.
thanks for all the help I'm getting. Anne Power
