Hi all I have another possible Dublin connection I have long searched for my sister in laws family Lilian Ursula COOK nee SMITH passed away in April 1972 and is buried with her husband Henry Spencer COOK who died 1964 At her death registration the informant gave her birth date as 3rd Oct 1899 but on her marriage at Our Lady of the Holy Souls Bosworth Road in Kensington on the 30th September 1934 she gave her age as 35 which points towards a birth in 1898 I found in the Irish Civil Registration births the following Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958 name: Lillian Ursula Smith registration district: Dublin North event type: BIRTHS registration quarter and year: Oct - Dec 1898 volume number: 2 page number: 435 digital folder number: 4193981 Lilian gave her father as William SMITH, an Accountant, at her marriage in 1934 In 1901 I found a Lilian aged 2 with father William SMITH a Commission Agent and mother Marion, three sibling girls and an Aunt Mary SMITH all RC and born Dublin City , they are at 31 Upper Rutland Street In 1911 most of the family (except Lilian) are listed in Dublin they state they have been married 23 years and had 6 children, four surviving, three are with William (now a Bakers Clerk) and Marion again all born Dublin City at number 3 Leo Avenue The nearest Lilian I can find is an 11 year old Lillie with Aunt & Uncle CLARKE all enumerated as born Co Armagh But she is with them in 1901 so not her Has Upper Rutland Street been redeveloped? there is a Lower Rutland Street but no Upper I have tried to match the William SMITHs marrying in Dublin in 1887 to 1889 to any Marions but no matches found Does anyone have any bright ideas as to how to further this I have not as yet obtained the birth cert , would that be a transcript or a copy for 6 euro's ?

Might Marion be spelt differently/mispelt? Maryann etc. I accidently found a reli in a mispelt census record.   I also wonder about how registrar's etc might interpret an accent, and the varied results that could produce.     Good luck   Julie --- On Wed, 20/4/11, Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> wrote: From: Nivard Ovington <[email protected]> Subject: [IRL-DUBLIN] SMITH Upper Rutland Street Dublin circa 1901 To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 20, April, 2011, 10:52 AM Hi all I have another possible Dublin connection I have long searched for my sister in laws family Lilian Ursula COOK nee SMITH passed away in April 1972 and is buried with her husband Henry Spencer COOK who died 1964 At her death registration the informant gave her birth date as 3rd Oct 1899 but on her marriage at Our Lady of the Holy Souls Bosworth Road in Kensington on the 30th September 1934 she gave her age as 35 which points towards a birth in 1898 I found in the Irish Civil Registration births the following Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes, 1845-1958 name: Lillian Ursula Smith registration district: Dublin North event type: BIRTHS registration quarter and year: Oct - Dec 1898 volume number: 2 page number: 435 digital folder number: 4193981 Lilian gave her father as William SMITH, an Accountant, at her marriage in 1934 In 1901 I found a Lilian aged 2 with father William SMITH a Commission Agent and mother Marion, three sibling girls and an Aunt Mary SMITH all RC and born Dublin City , they are at 31 Upper Rutland Street In 1911 most of the family (except Lilian) are listed in Dublin they state they have been married 23 years and had 6 children, four surviving, three are with William (now a Bakers Clerk) and Marion again all born Dublin City at number 3 Leo Avenue The nearest Lilian I can find is an 11 year old Lillie with Aunt & Uncle CLARKE all enumerated as born Co Armagh But she is with them in 1901 so not her Has Upper Rutland Street been redeveloped? there is a Lower Rutland Street but no Upper I have tried to match the William SMITHs marrying in Dublin in 1887 to 1889 to any Marions but no matches found Does anyone have any bright ideas as to how to further this I have not as yet obtained the birth cert , would that be a transcript or a copy for 6 euro's ?
