Hi Helena, There is a Peter O'Reilly birth registered in the March Quarter of 1885 in Barrow in Furness. Volume 8e, page 853. Could this be your man? Regards Claire

Georgina No can't find them at all on 1901 census, how do I find how they got here from Ireland, although just spoke to my sister who thinks Peter O'Reilly lived in Barrow in Furnace?? or possibly Wiggan she's not at all sure but thought it was in England somewhere. Helena

Georina How/Where did you find this info? You are a star. I'm amazed by the help people offer on this site, many of us would grind to a halt if it wasn't for the help. How do I get copies of this? Helena

Julie Thanks for trying, I might have to speak to relatives again but very big family spread all over the world but someone must have his birth certificate. Helena

Hi Helena Sorry I dont seem to able to find anything on IGI which gives exact matches to your dates nd names. I also have a few Irish ancestors, that I cant seem to find anythng on. Ireland is very difficult to research. Julie

Hi Julie He was my grandfather (my mother's father) and a cousin has put together a family tree from speaking to relatives, old family documents etc. I started tracing my Dad's tree and now want to back up my cousin's tree with documented evidence but didn't expect to hit a blank so soon. I managed my Dad's side no bother until much later back. I have asked my cousin to let me have what he found but he hasn't been able to give me details of where my grandfather was born and he hasn't done anything about spouses other than names. So essentially I'm trying to fill in the gaps in his work. Helena

Hi Where did you find date of his birth? Julie

Helena

Helena Report 2 Dec 2006 13:42

Yes but there is nothing that fits, I'm not particularly good on other sites but have tried to no avail.

I'm trying to find a birth for Peter O'Reilly born 25 Dec 1884, he married a Helena Talty in Scotland 18/07/1911 but I can't find a birth for either of them in Scotland, and they don't appear on any census. I'm not sure but think they may have come from Ireland although both have Scottish addresses on the marriage Extract. Their parents were Peter O'Reilly & Mary Jane Dorothy and Patrick Talty & Margaret Faran (it looks like). I'd be grateful for any help Helena
