Hello
I have come across "Transport Strickland" on a Baptism for Dominick Higgins baptised on 8 November 1857 at Kilmovee RC Church. His father is James Higgins and his mother is Bridget Higgins. Sponsors are Patrick Higgins and Sabina Cafferky. At the end of the Baptism it states "Transport, Strickland" where the Townland usually is. What is "Transport, Strickland".
It is also mentioned on other Baptisms around the same time.
I obtained this information from the Kilmovee Baptisms-East Mayo
Thanks

Hello
I am looking for more information on ISABELLA WALSH who was living at Ballycultra, Holywood, County Down in 1901 and 1911. In 1901 she is single aged 30 and living with her Aunt DOROTHEA McGIMPSEY (nee WOODSIDE) aged 78, her cousin ROBERT McGIMPSEY aged 14 and  DOROTHEA IRVINE aged 6, the Grand-daughter of Dorothea McGimpsey. In 1911 Isabella (Bella) Walsh now aged 47 is living with her Nephew ROBERT McGIMPSEY (spellled McGINSLY on Census). ISABELLA WALSH also appears as an Informant to the Death of HUGH WOODSIDE who died at Cultra in 1895 aged 77.
I am trying to find out if anyone has ISABELLA WALSH in their tree and how she is connected to DOROTHEA (WOODSIDE) McGIMPSEY & HUGH WOODSIDE.  She must have been born between 1864-1871 at Cultra.
Thanks

Hello
Can anyone find ANNIE ROCKLEY born 1834 in Liverpool England on the 1881 Census. She is a Widow.
I have tried all sorts of spellings for her surname but can't find her on Ancestry. I have tried the searches on a few other websites including Family Search but no luck. There is one ANNIE ROCKLEY in Lancashire on "The Genealogist" but I can't tell if she is in Liverpool or not and when I put in two different Birth Dates it still comes up as "one ANNIE ROCKLEY in Lancashire".
ROCKLEY was transcribed as ROCHLIF in 1871. Her son SAMUEL is living with her married daughter SARAH MOONEY in 1881 and he has been spelled SAMUEL ROCHLEY. They are at Kitchen Terrace, Clare Street, Liverpool. I have looked all up Clare Street on the Census and can't see any likely ANNIE ROCKLEY.
There should be a daughter ELLEN ROCKLEY born 1867 with ANN or ANNIE ROCKLEY in 1881.
In 1891 she is listed as ANNIE ROCKLEY at 35 Prince Edwin Street Everton and she has her grand-daughter ANNIE J MOONEY (my Grandmother) with her. ANNIE ROCKLEY's  daughter SARAH MOONEY is further down the street at no 39 Prince Edwin Street.
Can anyone help??

Hello
My GG Grandfather was ISAAC WOODSIDE born about 1814, he had a brother JAMES born about 1812 and a brother HUGH born about 1817. I believe they came from Co Down and went to Liverpool England prior to 1841. Hugh may have returned to Ireland after 1861.
I am in contact with a desendant of JOHN WOODSIDE born Co Down in 1798 and I am trying to determine if this JOHN WOODSIDE is also a brother to ISAAC, JAMES & HUGH.
I know that JOHN WOODSIDE's daughter JANE WOODSIDE married a JAMES HOUSTON in Holywood Co Down on 8 August 1846 at 1st Holywood Presbyterian Church and they went with her parents and family to Liverpool England prior to 1851. JANE & JAMES HOUSTON had two sons JOHN born in Co Down about 1847/1848 and ISAAC born 1849/1850 in Liverpool England.
I also know that JOHN WOODSIDE's wife was ELIZABETH FLEMING and ISAAC WOODSIDE's wife was MARGARET DAVISON. JAMES WOODSIDE's wife was ELIZA ANDERSON.
Does anyone have WOODSIDE's from (Cultra) HOLYWOOD Co Down in their tree?
I want to find out if the 4 boys had any other brothers and sisters and who their parents were.
