so, she may have adopted the middle initial C for some reason .......

....... maybe to separate herself from all the other Mary Hughes


Just as my father-i-l adopted his mother's maiden name as a second name when eh was about 40 because there were several others with the same first name and surname ................... you won't find him anywhere with the second name or initial before that!


They don't make it easy!!!

Hello Kucinta
many years ago I ordered the birth cert of Mary Christina from Dublin and then also recieved the death cert for the above child -so was able to rule this Mary out.

to Sylvia
her full name on marriage cert states Mary Hughes in the 1911 she is Mary (Walker)Hughes in the recently available 1939 list she is Mary C Walker and on her death cert Mary C Walker

She's just plain Mary Hughes on the marriage register image:

Name: Mary Hughes
Estimated birth year: abt 1884
Age: 24
Spouse: James Henry Walker
Spouse Age: 28
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 12 Apr 1908
Parish: Poole's Park St Anne
Borough: Islington
Father Name: Michael Hughes
Spouse Father: James Walker
Register Type: Parish Register

What is her full name according to the marriage certificate??

That should spell out her second name in full

Saw this infant death, is it the same child as that 1883 Dublin birth that Shirley posted? In which case the birth is not your relative.

Ireland, Civil Registration Deaths Index, 1864-1958

Name: Mary Christina Hughes<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Estimated birth year: abt 1883<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1884
Death Age: 1
Registration district: Dublin South
Volume: 2
Page: 539
FHL Film Number: 101592

Both events were registered in Dublin South.

Marriage says she was aged 24, marriage took place April 12th 1908, which also tallies with her age as given in the 1911 census, as has been stated by Shirley, assuming she gave true information.

thank you to Shirley,and Kathleen
the owner of the Upton tree contacted me but I am a little reluctant to include the birth date has it is wrong according to the 1939 voters list although the death date is the same has is on my grandmas death cert,the tree owner was unable to ascertain where they came across any of the info regarding Mary

James Henry Walker probably married one of the following people
Name Mary Hughes

This looks like her birth


Mary Christina Hughes
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1883
Registration district: Dublin South
Volume: 2
Page: 679
FHL Film Number: 101059

Someone on ancestry has her in their Upton tree with slightly different info


Mary Christina Philomena Hughes
Upton Family Tree
Birth: Apr 19 1883 (19 Apr 1883)
Death: Nov 1st 1945 (1 Nov 1945) - East Retford, Nottinghamshire
Spouse: James Henry Walker


Her birth would tie with the 1911 census info ie born c 1884

If you alter the title of your thread to include "Ireland" you might attract the attention of someone who has access to Irish records.

The birth will probably be registered in the first quarter of 1882 since the birth happened so late in the year.

Is this the 1911 census? :-
