Martin J. Sinnott was an expert horseshoer and raised and raced trotters from Brooklyn to New Jersey. He is about 77 in this picture and lived to be 80.

Is it possible to erase the writing on the photo? It seems that it was so common back then to just write right on the actual picture!

Thanks,
Bernadette

Very special picture of my mom (Virginia) with her most favorite grandfather Martin and her sister and brother.  You all do such wonderful work and I would love to see it restored.

Thanks so much,

Thank you Glensman... I thought it was Togher ..it will be harder to find the records but I appreciate the confirmation of the parish/ church

Louth / Would there be RC records for Dunany , Louth in early 1800s?

what church/ chapel would someone born in Dunany have been baptized or married? Could it have been Togher?

I know when it gets down to these smaller communities it gets harder to find records.

Thank you,

Louth / Re: Looking for information on Segraves of Togher, Dunany, Louth

Dathai....I was able to find the actual wills if Bridget Segrave the mother and Fr. John Segrave one of the sons.. It is very exciting because the Stephen you found in the census is named as a son/ brother confirming the family members!   I know we are related my best educated guess is their father Peter Segrave was my gg grandfathers uncle... And Patrick , John, Stephen Frances and others unnamed were his 1st cousins.

It was a good day! Still looking for my ggg grandfather James who I believe is Peters brother

Aghadowey...our family is Catholic...but I have been looking both because of the constant back and forth with the Church of England/Ireland .  I have learned to always stay open to the records that are there and not dismiss anything...

Thank you both so much... Aghadowey...the priests were Catholic priest..and I have been trying to look through any histories of the churches in the area to see other Segrave connections...
And dathai... I had seen some of the Wills but not all..  I was looking at the will of James .. Do you understand the relationship between Fr. John and minor child Peter?  I think James could have been a brother to the priests?? 8)
