Hi,

 I am looking for details of a marriage between William Kent and Harriett Woolley which took place in All Saints Grindon, Staffs. In 1876. Hopefully someone can find a record for me that would give there fathers names.

Thank you Anjo

Hi to all,
I am initially trying to find the birth and parents of Patrick Fanning b abt 1876 in Co Wexford. I have him on census, his death record and his 2 marriages which both state his father as being William Fanning. Family stories have him coming from around the Ballymitty/Fethard area of Wexford but I can't find a likely birth record for him. In my research I came across a William Fanning b. abt 1871 living in Fethard as a postman and seemed a likely candidate for a brother of Patrick. His marriage also stated that his father was William Fanning. I can find no birth record for this William either. To make matters worse I find another Fanning called Aiden Fanning (which is a name that is in the family) b. abt 1881 living in Hilltown, Ballymitty with wife and children and his mother Bridget. His marriage also states that his father is William. Could these 3 be brothers and now the parents are William and Bridget. (Bridget is a strong family name). Could anyone point me in the right direction to find birth records for Patrick 1876, William 1871 and Aiden 1881.
Could anyone tell me if I can access local paper online (preferably without subscription) to check obits for the 3 boys where I might gain some insight into their heritage.
Thanks for reading and fingers crossed that someone can help find the lads a birth record.

Hi all,
 I have just found some sketchy info on a Johanna/Hannah/Anna O'Leary who I think could quite possibly be my great Aunt.  I have her born 19 Aug 1881 in Kerry Ireland and I have found a petition for naturalization in Massachussettes in 1941 (age 60) and on this she states her husband as being Daniel O'Leary but it states her name as Hannah O'Leary as being her full, true and correct name and no other names given. It also states she was married 2 Jul 1911 in Boston. And names her 3 children, Anna 1912, Margaret 1916 and Jeremiah 1919. It also states that she arrived in the US on 14 May 1908 on the SS Ivernia.  After a lot of searching I finally found a census record for her and hubby and her 3 children in Quincy Ward 3, Norfolk County in 1920 but have found no other census. (or anything else remotely useful)
I found an entry on the US social security stating Anna O'Leary b. 19 Aug 1882 in Kerry and parents named as Michael O'Leary and Anna Walsh. Notes Oct 1942 name listed as Anna O'Leary. I can't find a proper death record for Johanna/Hannah/Anna or her husband Daniel and would dearly love any info the marriage cert could give me as Daniel could be a cousin I don't know about. Or they may not be connected or related. Either way I'd just like to know and I am hoping someone with better resources than me can help me sort them out.
Thanks to all that reads this and fingers crossed some bright spark finds something.

All the best
Anjo

Ooooooh just wanted to add that her address on 15 Dec 1941 is 11 Richmond Street, Weymouth, Norfolk County, Massachusettes.
 

I am hoping someone can find me an obit on Fr Tobias Patrick English. He was born 16 Mar  1929 in Dungarvan Waterford and died 21 Apr 2016 in Pasadena he was still working for St Andrews church in Pasadena.
 Also, whilst I was googling for info, I found a burial to a wife of Tobias's cousin. Her name was Evelyn Semenza. She married Laurence Samuel English. This was a 2nd marriage for both of them. I have been unable to find anything on Laurence other  than he he married Evelyn in 1958 and died in 1998.

So if some kind soul has some time to spare and access to newspaper and would help me out, I would be ever so grateful.

Thanks Anjo

Meant to add that Evelyn's death was also in Pasadena so I am presuming that her husband Laurence "Larry" was also in Pasadena.

could someone please check this entry out for me and try and find Sarah Mack and ??Mack on the 1851 pretty please.

Thanks heaps Angela
