Hi List, Many thanks to all the kind people who have helped me decipher the writing on the 1861 Census. Looks like I have to correct the birthplaces of my Grt Grandmother Mary Anne ((Fitzgerald) Hooley and Eleanor (Fitzgerald) Williams. I had been looking for their births in Ireland as shown in a lot of the Censuses, But their father Timothy Fitzgerald was shown in the 1841 Census of Mons. with the 2 girls but no mother so I am wondering if she might have died between 1836 and 1841. I have just found an entry for a Mary Elizabeth WILLIAMS b. 30 Dec 1835. Father William Williams and mother Eleanor Williams. Bit of a puzzle here as I have a record of Eleanor being b. in 1823 so could she be only 13 and married and having a child at this age? I think they put their ages down so as not to be too much older than their husbands ....happened in my own ancestors also. I have written to the Monmouthshire List for help with their birth dates and names of parents to confirm they were born there as shown in the 1861 Census. Hopefully, I can get all this info before I get too old to see? Many thanks again...this is a great list as I have said so many times before. Kind regards, Mary
