Hi,
You ask.........Where was Evelyn Constance schooled as only 9 years when father died
on the 1911 census, they are number 29 house, that means the 29th building in the road, not house number 29. Each "House and Buildings return form (3rd choice down highlighted in blue)has 17 lines, look for number 29 and it's on page 2, as you can see the building name is listed, look at page 5, look for numbers 76 and 77, they are Schools. Evelyn must have gone there to school.

And.........I would like to know what happened to his wife Frances and her 2 children as in the 1911 census they are living in Tipperary, and frances originally was from Waterford.
Can't find anything about her.
Did Evelyn marry and if she did who to and where?
Also Ita, did she marry and if she did who and where?
Below are the records I found, you may already have these, but this is how I search.

I am seeking information on him too. Did his brother Simon marry an O'Brien lady from Lough Gur?

Yes - I have info that he did marry Annie O'Brien at Patrickswell, on 13th February 1893 but i gather they did separate later on and am not sure if Simon Reardon went to America as he did not attend his brother's funeral in Bruff in july 1904, which seemed unusual. I was told by a local lady that Annie Reardon went to NZ with her children, do not know dates. Hope this is helpful. Tell me what you may find. Do you know about the book called "The Farm" by Mary Fogarty, or Sissy O'Brien about their lives growing up in Lough Gur, its meant to be a classic.

Best wishes

Hi Liz

I am a friend of the descendant whom I gave the email address of her to you. I am just wondering - was Daniel Reardon in an earlier marriage?

The following is taken from the Limerick Chronicle of 9 June 1885. It is an obituary.

" June 4, at Bruff, County Limerick, Janet, the beloved wife of D. C. Reardon, M.D."

Hi John

I had no idea of a previous wife called Janet - my gt Grandfather married Maria Frances Rice in June 1894 in Cork and his full name is Dr.Daniel Francis Butler Reardon and DFB are his initials signed as a witness at Simon Reardon's Marriage certificate. His life was 1858-1904 and a lot of his time 1886-1904 in between Bruff and Dublin where he died. I have no record of another marriage, was this another Dr. Reardon from another area or parish, perhaps you can find out more?

Thanks

Liz
