Don´t really want to go to the expense of buying the marriage cert as they are the in laws of my g aunt, whose children I am trying to trace in Canada. Thought I might pick up some clues from Honora
Thanks for looking though.

Wonder if it was a double wedding or just co-incidence and Matthew is unrelated?

Thanks Margee.
Yes, I have all the info on George, Annie & Charlie. Annie (Ann Maris Sewell) was my gran´s sister.
I know that she & george had a stillborn son not long after they arrived in Canada, then a son called Kenneth whose DOB I don´t have, but he was a similar age to my father who was born in 1918.
Kenneth was married twice & had 2 sons,Barry & a much younger one who was born to his 2nd wife.One of his wives was called Margaret & I think the other wasBeryl. Judging by the census, Kenneth was born 1919/20.
I am intrigued to work out who Honora Murphy was. She can´t have been born in Ireland if her birth was registered in Birmingham, although I have no doubt her family was irish & they were obviously Cayholics.

Ann Cardiff
Thanks for looking.
Anna Susannah died in 1886 when she was a year old.

Could she have been born and baptised in Ireland (there are possible baptisms for her in Ireland) and moved to England very soon after

The birth then registered in England?

The death record that Margee mentions, definitely says she was born Ireland

I don't suppose you know if she had any siblings?

Know nothing about her at all.
Did find one possibility on the 71 census a few months back, enumerated as Another Murphy, daughter, with parents Patrick & Susan.
Wonder if the enumerator mis heard Honora for Another
In this game, anything is possible.
It´s not a mistranscription because I´ve checked the image.

You might right about the name?

Here she is listed as Ann S but there is no birth registered for a girl with this name

I wondered about Ann S too.
Pretty sure no one would name their daughter Another.
Also, Honora & George named their 1st 2 children George Patrick & Anna Susannah,so maybe we´re on the right track.
Thanks for the help .

Patrick was a boot maker,the same as George Eaton.
George is lodging with a family in 1881 and down as married.
where was Honorah?
She wasn't with dad and mum Patrick and Susan!
