Hi all,
Could someone find out what the correct name is for the mother of Matilda Barry born 1883 St George in the East (married Daniel O'Shea in Whitechapel 1904).
According to the 1911 census Daniel and Matilda are living with their two kids in Whitechapel, the first name on the census return is Martha Barry listed as a housekeeper aged 59 a widow born Whitechapel. I presume this is Matilda's mother.
Going back 10 years to 1901 Matilda is living with her mum and dad in Whitechapel. Father John Barry (born Ireland abt 1848) but mother is listed as Matilda not Martha.
I don't have the 1891 census to see if the mother is listed as Martha or Matilda.
I can find possible marriages, one for Martha and one for Matilda, to a John Barry around the right time.
On FreeBMD John Barry is listed in Dec Qtr 1871 St George in the East to have married Martha Singfield (or Mary Regan). The other possible marriage for John Barry is listed Dec Qtr 1877 St George in the East to a Matilda Owens.
On the information that i have i'm thinking it might be the latter in 1877 which is the correct one.
I can't prove either is correct. I have tried to find a possible birth for her mother being born in Whitechapel (or close by) around 1853...but found nothing.
Maybe i am missing something completely, i don't know.
Thanks
