Where did you get Martha's surname please? Are you sure it isn't Kavanagh?

On the 1911 census they say they have been married for 5 years but I'm not seeing a marriage for them.

Re 1911 census in Dublin posted above.
This appears to be the family of James Byrne and Martha Murphy who married in Wicklow 1906
Daughter Kathleen was also born in Wicklow in Jul 1910.
www.irishgenealogy.ie

Although the 1911 return states the child's birth as Co Dublin, the reason I think this is the same family, is the occupation of James Byrne:
VAN DRIVER on both daughter's birth and 1911 census

Also on same site
1904 Dublin North marriage posted by AustinQ relates to James Byrne and Mary Smith

Another potential?
Birth of William Byrne Aug 1913 at 14 Townsend St, Dublin
Parents James Byrne ( Labourer) and MARGARET KAVANAGH

Pauline, how did you identify this couple and son William J Byrne born in 1913?

Well that death I posted looks to be her especially a the memorial headstone states her husband as James Byrne

So she was reg and buried as Martha Byrne

Husband buried with his family

I'm not sure about the death and burial for Martha Byrne of 1981.
She was certainly the wife of a man named James Byrne who predeceased her.

If this is the same woman from the 1911 census, it suggests she was about 100yrs old when she died.

We need Pauline to return to the thread.

Sorry GlasgowLass- I'd already deleted that marriage when I realised the mistake

Hello Again I have William J BYRNE birth cert he was born at14 Townson ST 1913

M Byrne, mother. signed the register


http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/keepsafe/asset/details/48378357

possible marriage? Although James listed as widowed, a labourer - father: William Byrne, Cabinet maker.

Party 1 Name JAMES BYRNE
Party 2 Name MARGARET KAVANAGH
Date of Event 03 September 1911
SR District/Reg Area Dublin South

Margaret was living Tara Street on marriage:

Possible in 1911?:
Residents of a house 5 in Tara Street (Trinity Ward, Dublin)
Waldren James 50 Male Husband Roman Catholic Dublin City General Labourer Married
Waldren Jane 50 Female Wife R Catholic Dublin City Married - 2 - -
Kavanagh Margaret 20 Female Cousin R Catholic Dublin City Domestic Servant Single

Jane and James married 2 years
--------------------------------------

Jane Carroll (widow) married James Waldron in 1909. Her her father was Matthew Hendrick. This is Jane and Margaret in 1901:

Residents of a house 46.5 in Poolbeg Street (Trinity, Dublin)
Harrington Joseph 32 Male Boarder Roman Catholic Co Dublin Coal Labourer Not Married -
Carroll James 42 Male Head of Family Roman Catholic Co Wicklow Coal Labourer Married
Kavanagh Margret 10 Female Visitor Roman Catholic Co Dublin Scholar Not Married -
Carroll Jane 40 Female Wife Roman Catholic Co Wexford Married

I think Williams mother must have been Margaret its for sure 14 Townson St but was quite hard to read mothers first name on cert

Edits (not seeing a Townson Street on above, surely Townsend on below?)

Not the Wexford birth.

On the 1913 marriage her father was James Kavanagh (labourer).
Witnesses were William Byrne and Ellen Kavanagh

I imagine there are quite a few possible births- heres just two of them:

Maggie Kavanagh
Born 4th June 1891
Father: James Kavanagh (labourer)
Mother: Kate Kavanagh (nee Bewley)
Abode: 5 Murphy's Cottages
SR District/Reg Area Dublin North

Margaret Kavanagh
Born 17 Aug 1891
Father: James Kavanagh (Carpenter)
Mother: Annie Kavanagh (nee Styles)
Abode 22 Marlboro' Place
SR District/Reg Area Dublin North

Thank you so much

Apologies AustinQ. Just realised I was still looking in Wexford and you had shown she was born Dublin. Senior moment or half hour :-)

No worries Rootgatherer- not as senior as my moment this morning. Thought I'd lost my glasses until I found them in the fridge on top of the marg. It's been niggling me all day- just hope it's not a sign of worse to come!!

(AQ, believe me, stick around GR long enough, and definitely worse to come, lol)
