This could be them. As I think I remember one of Ellens sisters living in Old Swan and the other in Cantrill Farm. What should I search for now?

It looks like I already had Ellen and John's marriage cert. Ellen's father wasn't William it was James McCarthy and he was a railwayman. So that changes a few things..

You can buy the cert using the GRO ref quoted from www.gro.gov.uk Cost £9.25 each

You register free and then follow the ordering pages Remember to tick the box on the first page where it asks if the GRO ref is known .then all you need is one of their names and the GRO ref filled in the appropriate boxes. .

Thats sounds very similar, where is that info from?
And where would I find a copy of Ellen and John's actual 1936 marriage cert? I had a look on BDM Image search and found

Similarly, I have been looking for the 1911 and cannot see it.

I can't see the 1911 census 'info' to which you refer....please give full details

patchem

patchem Report 2 Oct 2011 08:37

I was guessing that she was born in Ireland, then moved to England when she was fairly young. However, if you have her parents here in 1911, she should be registered over here, just no birth showing. Unless, for some reason, her Mother went back to Ireland to give birth.
Do you know whether the siblings were older or younger than her?
Have you looked on genes to see if anyone has any of her ancestors in their tree?

Flick Report 2 Oct 2011 08:35

You really must obtain Ellen's 1936 marriage cert

It will name her father, and state his occupation

As has already been stated, there is NO recorded birth for her in England or Wales

The 'info' found by your friend appears to be totally unsubstantiated.................the LDS website is not 100% accurate.

Hi Patchem

A friend of mine found her mothers maiden name out through the Church of the Latter day saints website. It had the information about Ellen Troys whole family. And a bit through the census (liverpool 1911) which had a William McCarthy born 1882 married to Ellen McCarthy born 1886.
This same document definitely has them from Ireland, Leamlara, Cork.

I don't know what her father's profession was, nor do I have dates for their deaths. I do have Ellen Troys parents as Hannah Connoll born abt 1854 in Cork, and James Troy born abt 1852 in Cork, Died 6 Jan 1923.

I am ultimately am truing to find any living relatives, and especially any photos as I don't know what my mum looked like.

Thanks

Jackie
