I have another brick wall, this one in Dublin. I'm looking for these children's father, John Andrews, a pawnbroker.
I have found these in censuses and on the Irishgenealogy site, and from family notes left by my uncle:
Children of John Andrews - so far as I know:
Adelaide born 1840 .....Pawnbroker
Arthur ?1841 ....Tea and Spirit Merchant
Frederick 1838-42 ....My Gran Little’s father, Master Painter
Nathaniel 1838 - 1843 ....Went to Vermont, Bookkeeper
John 1848 ....Pawnbroker
Eva 1851 or 1856 ....Professor of Music
Frederick's nephew, Arthur's son, was the piper Liam Andrews. He played to Frederick when he was on his deathbed.
They were all born before birth certificates were introduced in Ireland.
I have no birth date or place for John the father, and I don't know where to go from here!
