Levy / Leavy / Levey - Ireland

Levy / Leavy / Levey - Ireland

Surnames: Levy Leny Levey Leary
Looking for some help tracing my "Levy" line. Anne Levy born approx 1835 (not sure where, but her children were all born in Dublin). Her name is spelt differently on every birth record for her children; Levy, Levey, Leary, Serry, Leny ...
She married a John Monks in the 1850s but there are no records of their marriage anywhere nor can I find any records of her birth. And needless to say the various spellings of her name don't help..
Any help appreciated, thanks

Monk marriages: 1845 too young for Anne as she would only be 10, average age of brides 20.; *1854 Dublin and 1862 Dublin, North but can;t find a matching year for any spelling of Levy. I used a
program that find varients of names Leavy being the most common.

You could try www.rootsireland.ie for parish records, after 1864 records could be both parish and a civil registration.

Does she make it to the 1901/1911 Census? www.census.nationalarchives.ie also added this year are fragments from early census 1821-1851 not destroyed in the 1922 Four Courts Fire.

Anne Monks age 68, born Dublin, living with Patrick Monks

Anne Monks, age 60, born Dublin, widow, living with John Flanagan, mother in law

No John Monks in 1901 Census for Dublin .

Dublin City parish records on line free with www.irishgenealogy.ie

North and South have separate parish records:, www.rootsireland.ie

Sorry not able to assist.
