Hmmm - the 1930 census says the 2 daughters were born in Illinois but Axa born New York. BUT can't find any Axa anywhere with birthplace NY.

This may be him as his father was called Patrick Falconer and the date of birth is the same. It would appear its not just the women who switch names in this family! I have no other record gidving him the middle name Patrick though.

Thank you Ann and Marie Celeste for your help.

I have to call it a night as I have to get up for work in 6 hours. Its not a good look on a Monday!

Thank you again - you are all amazing.

I have also got stuck with Johns mother and father should I put them on a new post or add them here?

Karen

Add them here Karen - will take a look tomorrow night.

Here are the details I have so far on John Falconer's parents and sister.
It would be great to have Mary Collins parents and siblings. Violet remembers her Grandma Mary talking about Michael Collins but not sure where he fits in or even if he does.

John Falconer's mother was Mary Collins
born approx 1873 Cork
She died 1940.


Violet (Mary's grandaughter ) thought Mary was married to a John Falconer but I think she was married to a Patrick Falconer as shown in the 1901 and 1911 census for Cork.

1901 census
Residents of a house 5 in Needham Place (Cork Urban No. 5, Cork)

Falconer John 7 Male Son Roman Catholic

In the 1911 census it show Mary and Patrick had had 3 children but only 2 survived.

John Falconer had a sister Margaret (Madge/Madgie) Falconer.

She married a Frederick J Perry:

Thank you for the time and trouble you have taken to help me

Kind regards

Karen

groan - there's a stack of Mary Collins' born 1873 Cork :-(

Sorry Ann!
I have Smiths on 3/4 of my lines so it could be worse!

I ve found four that have a baptism that may tie in with with the dob as census suggests but not sure how to fine tune it.
I am hoping if I can find a marriage for Mary and Patrick it might have some more clues.
