John DONOGHUE
Set As Default Person -
Name John DONOGHUE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1836 Middlesex, England
- From the 1841 census where shown as aged 4, though shown as 16 in the 1851 census. Surprisingly, the 1851 census gives no birthplace more detailed than Middlesex.
Possible GRO ref: Donoghue, John q3 1838 Poplar RD 2 276 - age doesn't agree with the above but the 1841 and 1851 censuses don't agree with each other. There were, however, other Donoghue families having children in Poplar RD at this time.
Gender Male Died Sep Q 1913 Poplar Reg Dist, Middlesex, England
- Probably
GRO ref: Donoghue, John q3 1913 aged 77 Poplar RD 1c 523
This is the best match on date; although there is also another died q1 1918 aged 85 in Poplar RD the censuses etc. show another slightly older John that this other death fits better.

- * Marriage assumed from banns, and because they subsequently lived as man and wife *
Date an estimate based on date of banns; place based on banns which showed both were of this parish.
However, there seems to be no entry for this marriage in the marriage register (not just from index, but browsed the register, checked from 15th Dec 1833, the date of the last reading to end of the following March). Maybe there was an obstacle and they couldn't, or they just didn't bother (for some reason Martha's brother John did not marry his 'wife') or (I think most likely) perhaps a marriage did follow the banns but the priest forgot to enter it in the register. There was often more than one on a given day at this church, so forgetting one would probably not have been difficult.
Whoever in the family provided the census data seems to have been very approximate - ages of children seem quite variable. I have found some birth registration refs that could be theirs, haven't checked censuses for other children with the same name / born Poplar RD.
