My Amazing Mother 1912-1982
|
Hi Kelly,
I hope you mean my posting on Miskellys 
Mine goes back to Margaret Miskelly born 1837, daughter of Owen Miskelly and Agnes Murray. Married John Cummins and had 2 children then emigrated to New Zealand 1864. My grandfather Owen Cummins was born on the ship on the way out. Apparently it was a shocking trip and lots of people died on the way out. Margaret must have been from tough stock as she arrived with her children still alive and a new baby. She then raced straight up the hill to the nearest Church and baptised Owen the day they arrived
Hope there is a connection.
Lovely to find a real live Miskelly 
You have to make a few postings before you can personal message me- just post a few smiles even- then maybe I can contact you with my email address and we can correspond off this forum.
I live in Australia, but grew up in N.Z. I am going to a re-union in Nov. in the area that the Cummins/Miskelly clan settled. They are all buried in a small private graveyard there.
Trish

Hello all, my Irish ancester was my grt grt grandfather John Donegan born c1810 in Ireland. The first real evidence I have is his marriage in Bethnal Green on 6th April 1837. Why didn't they wait a couple of months til civil registration came in, at least I would have known his fathers name. On all the census info I have he just lists his birthplace as Ireland. My father always said they came from Limerick but that may not have been so. I would really love to know more about him. Jabawak

Just wanted to say NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP 
Another of my Irish brickwalls, has just come crashing down.
All I had was Anne Dean, born 1837, County Down Ireland, from her Marriage cert. and Death cert. in N.Z. She was previously married to a Patrick Nolan. Parents Patrick Dean and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick.
Could not find her anywhere with this info.
Posted on every site I could about her and parents.
CRASH
Contacted by another DEANE descendant, now know she was born Dundalk, Louth, IRE and her parents parents as well.
Am meeting up with people in N.Z. when I am there next month, perfect timing ( trip already planned) and getting photos as well.
Also my family line can now be added to their tree.
Apparently ALL the Deanes went to Liverpool 1840's ( I found them under Diene 1851 census) then to South Africa and on to N.Z. on 2 different ships 1864 and 1866.
So keep up the chase
Hope you all have the same luck as me
Trish

I was once told that a high percentage of the Irish who made their way to the UK in the 1800's ( as a result of the Irish Famine) landed in the following ports-- Liverpool and Glasgow, and many many of them made their way to the East End of London.
Also during the years of the Irish Famine a high percentage of the Irish population emigrated to America, I suggest anyone researching their Irish heritage do look at the Ellis Island Immigration Website, this website list's immigrant's who landed at the Port of New York until 1950, and the names are in Alpha Order and at times provide additional data on the Immigrant and any relatives who may have accompanied them.

I have hit a brick wall with my GGG Grandfather Micheal Lane all it says in the 1841 and following census returns is born Ireland. He married Ann David/Davies from kidwelly in carmarthen, or at least we think he did as we can't find Marriage or death for him, but they did have a lot of children together!!
Any info would be great
thanks Sharon

I was always of the opinion that both my parents were from purely Scottish extraction (with one side deviation to Heligoland...!  ), and was surprised to find that my Father's family had originated in Ireland, moving to Scotland c.1860.
All I can find of this Irish connection is a marriage between William CARSON (b.c.1838) to Ellen/Helen McHUTCHESON/McCUTCHEON (b.c.1840) - marriage took place 20/06/1855, Regent Street Presbyterian church, Newtownards, Co.Down.
William's parents were Henry CARSON and Agnes MORRISON (b.c.1807).
Ellen/Helen's father was William McHUTCHESON, mother unknown.
The widdowed Agnes (Morrison) Carson moved to Dalry, Scotland at the same time as her son William and his family, and took William's siblings too - Mary John and Agnes.
That is the sum total of my Irish explorations - but if this rings bells for anyone I'd be delighted to hear from them!
Regards, Stoney

Hi.
Just been reading all these postings.
My grandfather James Lynch Ferrigan b.1863, Edinburgh, illigitmate son of Mary Ferrigan. We suspect his father was James Lynch. My brother had his DNA tested on A******y and we have an ancestor match within 9 generations, approx 225 years. The 2 closest, were men with the surname Lynch.
This James Lynch was a shoemaker in Edinburgh with family. He had a son William who died unmarried in 1879, so nothing to search there. James Lynch died 1871. James also had a brother called William, who possibly went to the States. He was with James family on the 1851 census in Edinburgh, but drops out of the picture from then on.
James Lynch was married to Ann Rooney. On the census it states that both Lynch, b. approx 1816 and Rooney were born Ireland. Where or when I havn,t a clue.
If the name Lynch rings a bell it would be great, otherwise I havn,t a clue to how to begin searching for the Lynch family in Ireland.
Mary

Dennis Carey born around 1938, we believe he had a brother and sister, but have been unable to find a connection so far, he was working as a road man up in Middlesbrough and bore a daughter and a son, but never married due to my mother in laws parents.
Any carey's out there?

Hello everyone,
I have an Irish connectiion: Elinor McDONALD, Born around 1770, Dublin Ireland. Died 1 March 1831 Richomd Australia.
Eleanor is recorded as being sentenced on the 27th October 1790, at the quarter sessions at Tholsel, Dublin - The record states- "Found guilty of stealing a metal watch, chain and locket - value 6 guineas- The property of Thomas Dalton. Sentenced to be transported. Eleanor left Ireland form the Cove of Cork as a convict aboard the "Queen" arriving at Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour), Australia, 26 September 1791.
That's all I know of her past in Ireland, would be so grateful if anyone could enlighten me of anything else about her time in Ireland,#.
Thank you anything would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards
Raina Jackson
