I've been searching, with no success, for the birth of Jane Delaney. She was born in 1887/8 in Ebbw Vale and she appears on the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses. In 1891 she's in Ebbw Vale with these people:

James Lawlor, head, born Cork 1837
Catherine, wife, born 1845 Limerick
Patrick, son, born 1872 Sirhowy, Wales
Catherine, daughter, born 1875, Ebbw Vale
JANE DELANEY, born 1888 Ebbw Vale, granddaughter

In 1901 she's with the same family in Ebbw Vale but also in the house are:
Catherine Sullivan (married daughter now)
Eugene Sullivan, grandson.

Jane married Harry Meyrick in Bedwellty district in 1906. She died in 1959 and is buried in the cemetery in Ebbw Vale but the headstone only records her date of death.

As she is Delaney, different from the others in the household, it's possible she's the daughter of a Lawlor who married a Delaney but records in Ireland are very patchy and I can't find a likely marriage.

Can anyone suggest anything else, please?

Sorry, Austin, I meant to put that on as it gives her date of birth. I can send for her marriage cert which may or may not give me her father's name.

I believe this is the same family in 1881:

Have you followed daughters Jane and Mary Ann?

FreeBMD doesn't show a marriage of Henry Mayrick to a Jane.

It's Harry Meyrick, Margaret and it's on Ancestry. I have the 1881, Austin but there doesn't seem to be a likely candidate for Jane's mother.

If this is Timothy, the mother's surnames of children don't match. Perhaps another partner??

Sorry, I was required for babysitting duties. Thank you so much, everyone. I was getting very bogged down in this so fresh eyes have really helped. Most of this I've not seen before. I'm very grateful to you all.

I now have Jane's and Harry's marriage cert and this confirms that Jane's father was Timothy Delaney. It seems that Timothy married Jane Lawlor and she died sometime after Jane's birth because Timothy married Mary Broderick in 1895. He is a widower in 1911, Mary having died in 1910. He has step-children.
I can find two of the daughters in 1901, living with others in the extended family, but no sign of Timothy. I found his death in 1940 and some army records. I cannot find him on the 1939 register either. I wouldn't have got this far without your help.
