Yes Ann, that is my family but the surname spelt wrong as usual - the person completing the census probably couldn't understand the Cork accents!! In the 1903 trial it was commented on and my great-grandmother was asked to speak slower!

Thanks Ann for your prompt reply, but we do know that Daniel and Bridget came from Cork. On their marriage certificate it states this as well as on all the census returns, but as neither of them could read or write at that time I presume the priest marrying them just spelt it Quade. Even the census returns spell it differently, but that is nothing unusual. The problem is that Cork genealogy sites are split into various areas (as are the Irish census returns) so I am trying to find out exactly where in Cork they came from, i.e. Co. Cork or Cork City, in order to try and trace their parents.

On the 1878 marriage certificate for my great-grandparents, Daniel Quade and Bridget O'Brien, it states that they were born in Cork but no further details. They married in England and I have all the details of the marriage. I always vaguely knew about a murder in the family but have now found out that one of their daughters, Bridget McQuaide (younger sister to my grandfather), was murdered in 1903 (in Fulham) by her boyfriend. I have found out quite a lot about this murder (quite gory) and wonder if the details might have been published in the Cork press of the time as the families of both great-grandparents would have still lived there. I really want some lead as to where exactly they came from and presume any such report would mention the murder and any connection with local families. The difference in surname occurs a lot in my research, but in the UK press cutting of the trial of Bridget's murderer it is confirmed the correct spelling is McQuaide. Any help gratefully received.
