Hi Julie
I wonder if I've found her baptism on familysearch ?? There's a Joanna Paden baptised 17/11/1839,parents Thomas Paden and Elizabeth Fihily,Roman Catholic. Residence Killucan and Ballinameen,Roscommon,Ireland. It could be Joanna on the 1851 census at a pinch spelled phonetically maybe by the enumerator ?
Thanks everyone - yes it is a difficult one as the surname spellings change and they were all born in Ireland but where?
I've found a marriage of Bridget Padan to Michael Mulhorn/Mulheron/Mulhern? in Oct 1862 in Sunderland but nothing after that for them.
I was hoping to trace the children of William & Betty up to 1901/1911 where they might say where in Ireland they're from.
I did follow one lady which turned out incorrect unfortunately - she said all through the census that she was born in Ireland until the last one in 1911 when as an elderly lady living alone that she was born in Sunderland lol - good job it wasn't mine in the end though!!!
It's difficult I know - I've been messing around all day - that comes with someone wanting to see my tree and it's been awhile since I worked on that one.
Thanks Julie and everyone for your help. I now think it must be Honaria - which is often Nora - but with all the variations I have no idea where the family went to.
I don't know what you think, but as the script is quite flowery, I thought I'd look over the whole page to see for any similarities in letters, eg if there are anymore capital H's. Anyway further up there is a Florence Waters and it does look similar to Hoovers.
If you look carefully there is a stroke which may just be an e at the end of the first name. The one under Florence is apparently Mary, but looks like Harry to me, except it is a daughter.

Do you know what Mandy, I think you are right and her name IS Florence... and re Mary/Harry.. if you look at the very beginning of it you see a curl that is the beginning of the 'M' so it looks kindalike Cmary
Julie They're coming to take me away haha hee hee..........
Oh goody at last I might have helped. Usually I arrive too late or don't have a scooby.
After looking at Mary again with the C...looks like the first Chavy. LOL
