Thats exactly what I have got?????

I have no idea what is going on.

But amazing and truly grateful with what you have provided!

Reggie, this is the reason why I put the other births on here. It would appear that there is a little confusion regarding Mary Ann's maiden name and of the name on a couple of the childrens births.

Taken from an earlier post :-

"MarieCeleste, yes I am.

It's just that I have a Mary Ann Ragan that was Edward's wife and then a Mary Ann Hagerty/Haggarty who was also his wife?

Mary Hagerty/Haggarty was the mother of Ellen and Cornelius Driscoll??? "


Maybe another, say later child, may give some insight to the maiden name confusiion.

Thank you for the above......

Janene has already stated that she HAS the birth cert for Cornelius and identified the 1881 census posting as being for the correct person

these are some of the births of the children of Edward and Mary A Driscoll who eventually lived St Mary Cray Kent.

Thank you everyone for all your help, every part of your information and advice is greatly heard.

I do think Edward was born in Ireland aswell.

Where do I get the marriage info in Ireland from?

Sorry for the questions!!!

Thank you so much Reggie.

What would you suggest I need to do next?

You have been guessing rather a lot, I think

Suggest you might think about looking for a marriage in IRELAND, where Mary was born

Reggie this is the correct one. :-D

Thank you

The information that is totally correct is that of Cornelius Driscoll who was my grtgrt grandad.

On his birth cert states that Mary Ann Haggarty was his mother and Edward Driscoll....

Is THIS Cornelius in 1881?
