Looking for Mrs Nora Hayman - after 1918
Tweet
Honora Mulvihill was baptised in Listowel, Kerry on 26 Feb 1860 but grew up in Redruth area of Cornwall where her parents had married.
In April 1912, as Nora Melville, she married James Hayman in Pontypridd. She was the informant when his death was registered in the same location in 1918.
I am trying to establish what happened to her subsequently but can find no record of her death/ re-marriage on Free BMD.
Any sightings or suggestions would be much appreciated.
How sure are you about her birth in1860. Have you managed to find them on any census details. Do you think her name could be wrongly transcribed? Mulvihill and Melville could sound the same to a registrar respecially if you have a strong Irish accent. I had an Irish ancestor whose name was badly transcribed on her marriage cert.They had obviouly misunderstood her name - just a thought though.

She may either have remarried or returned to Ireland. She is Honoraugh (the name would actually be either Honora or Honorah) on the 1871 census
Cannot find them on 1861 census though they were in Redruth for birth of Margaret in 1856 and Ellen 1858.
They must have popped home to Ireland to have Honoraugh baptised and to see the old folk.
She was born in Redruth in 1860 (1871 census) and then the family moved to gwennap where the youngest ones were born. By 1881 Brigette Neville is a widow back in Redruth and Honoraugh is not with them.... but I assume you know all this and merely want to find her death.
There's a death for a Norah Hyman (born 1864) jan Fen Mar 1946 aged 82 West Glamorgan 11a. 1163
Age is wrong but sometimes informant does not know correct age. Name is wrong but Hayman spoken with any accent might be misinterpreted.?

Thanks, Pejay and Lola.
Timothy Mulvihill/Bridget O'Neil married Dec Q 1852 Penzance.
Honora Mulvihill baptised Listowell, Kerry 26 Feb 1860. Parents Timothy Mulvihill and Bridget Neil.
1861 - Honora (aged 1) living with parents at Wheal Buller Downs, Redruth. Pob - Ireland
1871 and 1891 (as Nora Melville) pob Redruth. Have yet to find her in 1881 - perhaps she might have been in Ireland - but not really essential.
Father's name on marriage certificate - Timothy Melville, deceased.
Age declared on marriage in 1912 - 49 (b c 1863).
Lola - I think the entry you have found for Norah Hyman is close enough in age and location to gamble on a certificate. Many thanks.
