Well Christopher dont know about Chrislines Dolly, but as I am in right royal, and world famous Horse Country here in Kildare, I myself am definitly a thoroughbred, and I would have to say that I have met more thoroughbreds than Nags herabouts ! giggles
Hi Damsel
I have been speaking with my Mother in law. She says that Bridget died in Blackrock so you won't find her death in Athy. But Michael did die in Athy and the brother. She also told me that Michael had a shop in Athy. She thinks Gerry was born in Athy. One thing she knows which may not help is that they had a horse called dolly!
Thanks
for your help
Chris
Hiya Chris, Was Dolly a thoroughbred  The family trees of horses tend to be much better than those of people  Christopher |

Hi Chris, just to let you know I am not forgetting about you I have just been so up to my eyes with study and assignments being handed in that I really hav'nt had time to bless myself !! I will put together the little you do have and head down to look at the records round about Thursday next week when I take an hour or so off study and let you know if I come up with anything, I'm not sure the Dolly connection will yield much information however but I would take offence to Christopher alluding to the fact that you might have had a Nag in the family tree !! giggles

Thank you Damsel, the year was in 50's I think could you let me have the address of St Vincents and a transport service there, ie from Dublin. I will probably make a trip there soon to see if I can find out any information. Has the place changed of is it still the same.
Many thanks

I need help finding Wynne's buried in Athy and around the 1865 to 1869 period. The family was COI and were wife and children of Robert Wynne, Esq. An address on a letter of this time period was Grangemellon, Athy. You mentioned having a list of burials for St. John's cemetery. Perhaps they are there. Thanks for looking. Marilyn

Hi again EmilyRose .
St. Vincents, Athy 0507-31614 if you need it, as for if it looks the same , I have only lived in Athy for about 14 months so I'm not sure how long the hospital has been there so I have added their number for you and I'm sure someone there would be able to tell you, but I would think it's been there a long time, its in an area called Woodstock here in Athy, not too far a walk form the trian if your reasonably fit about 15 minutes, you can get trains from Heuston Station in Dublin, time tables at http://www.irishrail.ie/home/, if you need detailed directions from the train or anything else do let meknow, regards Damsel

Hi There, I have looked at the burials in St Johns cemetry but no Wynnes I'm afraid, Grangemellon is an area about three miles outside Athy Town on the Carlow Road, the Church of Ireland is also on the same road their number is 059-8631446, you could check them for records for the period ?, otherwise the central library for COI is online for contact deatils at http://www.ireland.anglican.org/ ,they do searches if you have approx dates for about €10, if I can be of any further help let me know, regards Damsel

http://www.carlton.ie/abbeyhotel.html and http://www.clanardcourt.ie/
Those are the two hotels in the town both very nice, there are dozens of good B&B's if you need numbers for them let me know, I have a couple of photos I took this evening while out walking of St Vincents Hospital for you if you give me an email address, it was built in 1843 its a lovely old building though it used to be the old Workhouse/Poor house originally so I would'nt think it was a very nice place to be in those days, regards Damsel
