I know its late, but this has bugged me

Could my Nora have been Honora found this

Honora Prendergast born 2 October 1878 in Liverpool
Cant find anything other than a baptism

Liverpool, Lancashire, England, Catholic Baptisms, 1802-1906 Record for Honora Prendergast

Holy Cross 1878

Parents (Joannis )is that John and Honora Prendergast
mothers maiden name Joyce.........olim means mothers maiden name (latin translated from internet

Could this be her

Hey that's a great find Sue I'm sure it coud be her . Just got to prove it now

Did you find any other children to this couple?

Simone x

can't see any others on Anc, can't see this family in 1881

can see possibles for Honora Joyce

Simone x

Closest marriage I can see is
Dec q 1866
Liverpool
John Prendergast to Ann Joyce

could be them, I know of the name Anora being shortened to Nora and Ann, so reckon the same could be said of Honora

possible

so your Norah named one of her daughter's, Jane Helen, after her grandmother maybe?

That marriage sounds good logic Simone, especially considering "Annie's" mother's name
2nd December, 1866 Holy Cross
Joannem Pendergast of Henry Edward Street, Liverpool
son of Patricii and Joanna Pendergast
Anna Joyce of Henry Edward Street,
daughter of Michuelis and Honoris Joyce
Witnesses Joanne Smith of Henry Edward Street and Maria Walsh of Lace Street

nice one Mary

can't believe non of us noticed that baptism before... or did we

we were all looking to hard I think, and missed what was in front of us

well done Sue

Morning Folks

you have been busy. Couldnt sleep last night thinking about this

Then this morning moment!!

Back to the baby book that started all this............Nan told fibs about her mum and dad.......called them John William and Sara Davies.......should be John William Davies and Nora Prendgergast. And there below were my great great grandparents names ........she had put John Fredrich and Honora DAVIES. I suppose to keep the "Fib" going she couldnt put Prendergast.......could she....am I getting carried away with this.........desperate for a solution

I so wish she was here to give her a big huge and tell her what I have found

Will put the names you give on a new tree and see what happens

Youre all bloomin brilliant xxx
