Hi Shortie, I streamlined how I arrived at Kate Parkes birth certificate. There's not that many Catherine or Katherine Sheridan's so I searched for Catherine or Katherine Parkes and managed to find Kate Parkes. The age matches and her mother Mary Brannon matches the mother of Mary Sheridan 1895...

Hello, I have a situation regarding the children of my G Grandparents. From what I've learned, in total they had 14 children, with children 1, 7, 8 and 9 having a differnt Mothers maiden surname to the the other 9 children. Child 3 was born in 1909 so I'm not sure of his Mothers maiden name...

Hi Maggie, Thanks for the help. I had a look on mapseeker and Gooch and Kent st. intersect so I'm a lot clearer about things. Now if only I had a time machine!! Steve

Hi, My G Grandfather James Weston was a General Dealer in Essex Street on the 1911 census.. He lived in Gooch Street from 1920 to 1939 (Except 1935) listed at #36 on the Electoral roll. The childrens birth certificates born between 1917 and 1928 state they were born at 72 Kent Street. Does...

Hi Mike, Thanks! That's some more questions answered. I know Thomas died in 1904 so he may have gave up the business if he were ill. Steve

Hi, I have found Thomas Sheridan in Kellys for 1897. He was listed as a Clothes Dealer (Secondhand) at 28 Moseley Street. I was wondering if he was listed in 1892. Thanks Steve

I am trying to unravel the mystery of my G-Grand Parents life in the 1890's and 1900's. I have their marriage certificate for 1907 at St. Catherines. I hoping someone can tell me the regulations for getting married at a Catholic Church at that time. They state they are over 21 and bachelor and...

I think I will send for the marriage certificate one day.

The marriage was in the 3rd quarter of 1899 Sheridan Thomas Aston 6d743 Thomas occupation would probably be a porter, age about 37-38 birthplace Coventry. Father's name John Mother Bridget. The bride would be Mary Brannon age 39 - 40 an Hawker. Thanks Steve

That's Kate on the 1891 census and as Kate Sheridan on the 1901 census. I found a James Parkes on the 1901 census registered as a widower. Thomas Sheridan married Mary Brannon in 1899 at Aston juxta. I can find no record of a Mary brannon marrying a James Parkes.
