Tipperary / Marriage Look-up please - Shanahan and Ryan
« on: Sunday 26 May 13 12:37 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Wondering if anyone could help with some details for the marriage of
Thomas Shanahan and Ellen Ryan in Kilcommon, Tipperary?

I have been told they were married on 25.11.1879. I am trying to find out the names of Ellen's parents - a stretch I know. If anyone has any information or could assist in anyway, I would be forever grateful. I have been hitting my head against this brick wall for some time now and really don't know which way to turn.

Thanks in advance.

Ireland / Help Please - FOWLER Family
« on: Sunday 28 August 11 12:00 BST (UK)  »
I have hit a brick wall with this family and any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
My Great Grandfather was William Henry Fowler. He married in Australia in 1912 and according to his marriage certificate he was born in Queenstown, Cork and his age was 27 (b. approx 1885).

His parents are listed as Thomas Fowler (occupation: Printer) and Margaret Scott.
There is a discrepency between the marriage and death certificates for his birthdate of 2 years. So I believe he was born between 1883-1885 - approx. His death certificate also states he had been in Australia for 10 years.

1. Would anyone be able to shed some light on when/how he came to be in Australia - I have not been able to find any shipping records for him.
2. Can anyone confirm exactly where in Ireland he was born, siblings if they exist and parents marriage details.

I know this is alot to ask, but I am hoping there is someone out there who is a genius at searching for Irish records as I have failed miserably.

I did apply for a search for his birth certificate at Roscommon in 2008 using the following information:
William Henry Fowler
Born, Queenstown, Co Cork
DOB 1883-1887
and the search came back with nothing found.

Thanks in advance,

Daria

Australia / Albury Pioneer Cemetery lookup please - Thirza Clementine SMITH
« on: Friday 18 March 11 08:12 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for Thirza Clementine Smith -
Born 1888
Died 1926 in West Wyalong

I have had someone look at West Wyalong and there were no records of her being buried there. Her parents are buried at Albury - Robert Smith Died 1 Dec 1887, Sarah Smith Died 2 July 1917. So I was thinking she might be buried in the same place as her parents as she never married.

Thanks in advance.

There is also a sibling who remained behind - Patrick Shaw born c1876 and apparently he was in Jersey....

Basically I am trying to find out as much information as I can and I really need assistance as Im not sure how to go about it - irish records are alot harder to come by...

Im not sure where abouts in ireland they came from - I am waiting for Mary shaw's marriage certificate.
But I have been told by family that she was born in Co Meath. My Great Grandmother was also obsessed with Co. Mayo (Maybe something in this - she even have a plaque "Mayo" on the front of her house.)

Any ideas?????

Cheers,

I am trying to locate the emigration/ship details of my Great Grandmother from Scotland to Australia

Details are as follows:

Mary Ann Reynolds
DOB: 09 May 1890 in East End, Broxburn - Uphall, West Lothian, Scotland
Parents: Edward Reynolds and Catherine Martin

She was on the 1901 Census as being Mary Ann O'hara (her mother remarried  James O'Hara in 1899) and I know she was in Brisbane, QLD by 05 Dec 1912 as this was when she married.

I have searched a few places and have come up with nothing and was hoping someone else might have some more luck.

Cheers,

Daria
