Looking for info on Julia Linnane, b. 1889.

 

All I have is that she was in the Gort area.

 

Not exactly sure her parents names....I have seen James, John and maybe Dennis for her father and Honor for her mother.

 

She had one sister Delia and brothers Martin, Thomas, Michael, John.

 

She traveled with her sister and a cousin to Chicago, USA where she met her future husband who was a Canadian working there.

 

Looking for more info on this family.  Julia was my great grandmother.  My grandmother is not familiar with any of her family history in Ireland, but like myself is very interested in finding out more.

 

Hoping to find out gravesites, confirmation of names, homesteads or anything else that is available.

    You provided more information in your second posting. I think this is your family. Delia is a nickname for Bridget.

  • Thank you for your reply with this info.

     

    Can you help me understand the census information?  How does it show Linnane with only numbers? I am not familiar with this sort of paperwork.

     

    Thank you for the help already and thanks in advance for any more you may have.

  • Hi Evan,

    This is the census of 1911 for that family 10 years later.

    You can see the changes.http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002403233/

    A few things of interest ,Firstly the Irish and english statement  probably means that for the parents Irish was probably their first language.Often in Ireland at this time Irish speaking parents who could speak english  raised english only speaking children but not in this family.

    Secondly you can see Denis's mark ,an x, at the bottom right corner.

    Thirdly you can see they had 7 children born alive and six are still alive at that time.At the time of 1901 census there were only 5 children listed.

    Fourthly you can see that 5 years has been added to Bridget's age possibly to qualify for pension purposes.

    Also they have been married for 42 years

    Regards

  • Hi Evan

    I did another search and found two names that are not on the census for of 1901.

    Mary Linane born 1872.This makes sense as she is the eldest but the land would be left to the eldest boy.Also it makes it a smaller gap from marriage to first child.

    Secondly there were twins born.John had a twin Patt .Pat was commonly written like that.

    All the details are the same except date of birth was 01/July/1876 

    Sponsor Honor Mulkerrins (Honor was usually Nora)

    I also had a look for a marriage cert and found it!

    Civil marriage 

    12 / Feb /1871

    Denis Linane address Kinturla Knogera

    Farmer 

    His father was Thomas Linnane also a farmer mother not recorded

    Witnesses were Pat Linane and Catherine Linane 

    Bridget Corless 

    Kinvera 

    Farmer's daughter 

    Her father was Patt Corliss 

     

    married by Forde Francis 

    Husband and wife are recorded as of age.

     

    I have put down what the record shows the spelling was not consistent Corless and Corliss and the spelling of the areas can vary greatly.

     

    Regards

    Aine

    BTW Thomas was not on the list of births to Denis and Bridget.

    I think this is a better match .On the list beside her name is a bridget Healy four years older than her which could be her sister Bridget with her married name?
