Hi Pat

And welcome to our friendly forum ;D

Any dates with your KEARNS lot? That would help peeps who may have a connection.

Thanks Barb, would be a good idea.

Thomas Kearns married Mary Ann Burns in 1883 at Our Lady of Good Help.

Mary known as Lizzie, was born 1885
Thomas 1886
Patrick 1889
John 1890
James 1892

I have found Thomas on the 1881 census, the family on 1891 census & Thomas as a widdower on 1901 census.

I think Mary Ann died around 1898 & Thomas remarried.

Thomas originally came from Bray in Southern Ireland born 1855.

I know that the other brothers had children as my mum remembers some of them.

Lizzie went on to be a midwife & delivered many babies in the Liverpool area. She married a John Fox & they had a daughter Sheila who was also in the nursing profession.

I would love to contact anyone who has a link with the Kearns family.

Thanks

Pat
