Notes
a. Note:   Thought to be youngest child of Patrick O'Neill and Mary Jane Ward
 Patrick O'Neill died in 1908 when his wife Mary Jane had James their 6th child just 10 months previously and unlikely to be her father.
 Kitty's age on burial is 95 which would suggest shes was born in 1911.
 She is not on 1911 census taken on the 2nd of April 1911 so she must of born after this date.
 Cannot find her birth cert despite searching in the general register office from 1910 - 1916
 Possible Mary Jane 0'Neill ( born Ward) is not her mother.
 It is possible one of her daughers Phoebe, Mary or Kathleen is the real mother and she was born to one of them out of wedlock and raised as their sister.
 They were living in Stephen street around the time she was born according the 1911 Census.
 The name of the mother on the baptism certificate may be O'Neill or O'Neill formly Ward. The father is a mystery.
 A search was done in SS Michael & John for baptisms of Christina O'Neill from 1909 - 1914 but none where found.
  Christina never married, and looked after her mother Mary Jane until she died. Always known as Kitty she also reared the first child of her sister Kathleen whom got pregnent before she got married. Kathleen married the natural father of James O'Neill whom Kitty reared. Kitty worked for the D.B.C. the Dublin Bakery company until she retired. She lived in 8 Oakfield Place of Clanbrassil street until she was broken into and robbed. She spent her final years in Crooksling nursing home near Tallaght, Dublin 24. She always kept her age secret and never told Jim (James) about his real mother until he decided to emigrate to get work.
 She could have lived very comfortable in her retired years but chose not and wouldn't even buy a newspaper. She was known to have been thrown out of Eason's in Dublin city for reading the papers without buying them. She frequented the church in Whitefriar street and once said to me they should have interesting pictures hanging up there like Marlyn Monroe or Clark Gable instead of the boring religious pictures. She also said that when the priest was giving a sermon about adultery and promiscuity she was unable to understand to whom the priest as talking to, as when she looked around at the congregation she felt they were all past it so he was talking to himself.
