Wonder if any connection to Mary Ann....

St Andrews Baptismal Records

Name ROBERT MCALISTER
Date of Birth N/R N/R 1874
Address 27 TEMPLE BAR
Father JAMES MCALISTER
Mother MARY HUGHES

Further details in the record
Child Denomination ROMAN CATHOLIC
Sponsor 1 JOHN HOOD
Sponsor 2 MARY HYLAND


Cant locate on 1901/1911 Ireland

The 1911 census shows that my grandmother, Mary Anne McKenna nee McAlister was aged 31 which gives a birth year of 1880 and so I wonder if the Mary Anne McAlister baptised in Dublin in 1875 is the same person.

Thanks a million for your help which is greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Donal

My father was John P McKenna and he was born at 148 Albert Street Belfast Co Antrim. He married my mother, Catherine Maguire in Dublin in 1929 and died there in 1949 from MS. Forthy years later my wife was diagnosed with MS and although she has lived the last 35 years of her life from her wheelchair she is still here to see the sun rise or hear the rain and thanks the good Lord daily.

Kindest regards to one and all.

Which 1911 census?

Ireland, England, Wales or other?

Mary McAlister is listed in the 1911 Census as being Mary Anne McKenna, nee McAlister's mother and she was born c 1840.

Thanks

Donal

Irish records are very patchy and hard to research, and Mary Anne McAlister is a very common name, which doesn't help.

What was her mother's name, please?
Where was she living in 1911?
Was her mother living with her?

Post 1911 on here please.

Have you tried looking for her birth?

https://familysearch.org/

Or google IrishBMD

Is McAlister her maiden name?

Mary Anne was my grandmother and from what I can establish, 1911 Census, she was born in Dublin City c 1880. Her mother was born in Co Down.

Best regards to one and all.
