Hi,
I have found a reference to a 75-year-old man, a publican and farmer, Peter Folliard, of Naas, who was arrested for Tithe arrears in 1838. He was kept at the Naas Gaol.

I have a couple of questions with which I hope other RootsChat members may be able to help me.

Were records kept about prisoners at Naas Gaol in 1838? If so, do they still exist and where can they be viewed?

Would useful records exist about publicans? and of insolvencies?

It is known that Peter Folliard's arrest was mentioned in the Freeman's Journal and before that the Register. Were there any local newspapers that may have dealt with issues in Naas in 1838?

Also, I'd love to contact anyone researching Folliard/Follard/Fullard etc. in Kildare, Dublin or Meath.

Thanks,
Aillin

Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone is researching the GASCOIGNE/GASKIN family in Oxfordshire in the 17th Century in places such as Taynton, Bampton, Standlake, Bloxham and Banbury.

I'm interested in the family of Stephen GASCOIGNE m. Katherine HAMPSON who were associated with Taynton, Bampton and Standlake. I believe Stephen was the son of Cornelius GASCOIGNE and Dorothy WALWYN  baptised 1612 in London, and I wonder how or if Cornelius was related to the GASCOIGNE families in Bloxham and Banbury?

Any help in sorting out the different GASCOIGNE families in Oxfordshire in the 17th century would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping SKS who has access to the Post-1858 Probate Indexes might be able to lookup a reference for me:

John HUTTON of King St, St Peter in the East, Oxford. Died Jan 1880 aged 87.

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help.
I'm interested in finding out more about a Thomas FULLERTON who was apparently in the 58th Regiment in 1828. I've found a Church of Ireland Baptism for his daughter, Mary FULLERTON, at Naas, County Kildare, Ireland in 1828. Thomas' wife was named Agnes.

I was curious because I have been looking for my G G Great Grandfather, William FULLERTON, an agricultural labourer from County Kildare who married Mary DUNNE and arrived in Port Phillip, Australia as assisted immigrants in 1840. William and Mary were Catholic. The baptism above intrigued me because I have been told a family story about a soldier in the 'Spanish War' (the Peninsular War?) who may have married a Spanish girl. Also, one of William & Mary FULLERTON's grandchildren was named Agnes (my G Grandmother).

I could be on the wrong track... but anything might help!

I don't know what area of County Kildare my FULLERTONs came from, but other Kildare passengers on the same immigrant ship were married in Clane.
I have found very few FULLERTONs in County Kildare. One other was a Mick FULLERTON m. Eliza BROWN in 1845 in the Catholic parish of Kill, Kildare.

Any further information about Thomas FULLERTON from the 58th Regt. or any FULLERTONs in County Kildare would be most appreciated. Any clues are helpful 

The names 'Marcella'  and 'Derenzie Percival' could also have something to do with this family.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am interested in finding out more about a Mr. J. HARMER who apparently lived at either 48 or 49 Castle St, Leicester, in about 1840.

In the "History, Gazetteer & Directory of Leicestershire & Rutland, 1846" there is a John HARMER living in Bedford St, Leicester. I don't know if this could be the correct J. HARMER.

Any help would be most appreciated.
