    1. [IRL-DUBLIN] GEOGHEGAN
    2. Carol Billington
    3. I am trying to trace my husband's grandmother's family. Can anyone help? What I know - Joseph Billington married Elizabeth Geoghegan in 1893 at the Cathedral Marlboro' St. Joseph had his address as 129 Dorset St and Lizzie as 14 Dorset St. Joseph is down as a waiter and he has his father as Joseph Billington a box maker ( His father was really John but Joseph didn't know where he was born in earlier census so I think he had left home in Cheshire England early in life and joined his brothers living in Manchester England. He had various jobs before I found him married to Elizabeth and back in Manchester in 1901) Elizabeth has her father down as John Geoghegan but no occupation. I Know where they lived in the Manchester area and have the births of all their children and also Elizabeth's death BUT they had a Mary Geoghegan living with them in the 1940's and we thought she was Elizabeth's sister but on the death certificate of Mary it has daughter of Thomas and there was a witness of a Thomas Geoghegan at their marriage. Mary Geoghegan was born abt 1861 and Elizabeth abt 1865 but I don't know if it was in Dublin as Elizabeth used to talk about having kept cows and that some people lived with the animals but they didn't. So you see I don't have very much to go on and I would like to find out more. Carol
