Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Patrick Brown and Isabella Duffy
« on: Thursday 25 August 16 01:36 BST (UK) »
Thank you very much Pennines!!!
That's great information.
From looking at the addresses of the Brown brides and groom I can tell that they are definitely the children of Patrick Brown and Isabella Duffy.
Isabella Brown registered the death of Nancy McConnell (née Duffy) in 1875, and was present at the death and gave her own address as Alexandra Place. I think Isabella was Nancy's sister.
Patrick Brown is recorded as a labourer residing at 5 Alexandra Place in Giveen's Almanac and General Advertiser, a directory for Derry city, in 1879.
Thanks again!!!
All the best,
Brendan

Thank you very much Pennines and Myluck for that information.
I had a feeling the children may have been baptised in a Protestant church, as I wasn't able to find the baptisms of William and 'Annie' recorded in any of the Catholic churches around Derry city.
Isabella Duffy seems to have been a Roman Catholic, according to my research, so Patrick Brown was presumably of the Established Church. It is unusual that their marriage is not recorded, unless they were married prior to the registration of civil marriages in 1845.
I possibly have found a marriage for their son William.
William Brown married Ann Jane Smith in Derry city on August 4th 1890.
They are recorded in the 1901 census as living at Ferguson Street, Derry city. In the 1911 census they are recorded as residing at Orchard Row, Derry city. William's unmarried older sister, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Brown, is recorded as living with the couple on both censuses. Their religion was Church of Ireland.
However, I've had no luck finding marriages for any of the other children of Patrick and Isabella.
Thanks again!!!
Best wishes,
Brendan

Derry (Londonderry) / Patrick Brown and Isabella Duffy
« on: Tuesday 23 August 16 16:58 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking for information regarding the marriage of Patrick Brown and Isabella Duffy. I know from familysearch.org that two of their children were born in Glendermott parish: William Brown on April 29th 1865, and Annie Brown on February 14th 1868. I have not been able to find any baptismal records for these children. I would also like to find out the names of any other children Patrick and Isabella may have had.
Thanks in advance.
Brendan

Ireland / Re: In 4 years have found nothing about Anne Campbell of Fermanagh

Hi Gr8scot227,
There is a death record on GRONI for an "Anne Magrath", who died aged 64 years on October 14th 1887, in Belleek Sub-registration District, Irvinestown Registration District, Co. Fermanagh.
All the other possible matches (which there are few) are way too old to have had a child in 1867.
Best wishes,
Brendan

Derry (Londonderry) / Re: James Devine b.c. 1855 in Derry to William Devine & Catherine Ann Ferguson
« on: Tuesday 18 August 15 18:18 BST (UK) »
The 'talking scot' forum has a death for William Devine, who is recorded as dying on December 4th 1879 aged 66 years in Templemore. A forum user tried to find a record of the death on GRONI, but without success.
However, the death record of William Devine does seem to be on GRONI, but his surname had been incorrectly recorded or was incorrectly transcribed: "William DIVER" died in the Waterside, Derry, on December 2nd 1879 aged 66 years.
'Diven' is a common spelling of the surname 'Devine' in Derry records during the 19th century, so it is not hard to see how 'Diver' may have been incorrectly recorded or mistranscribed.
Also, the death for William Devine on December 4th 1879 was taken from Rootsireland's record of deaths in Derry City Cemetery. This date of death was probably the actual date of burial, which would have generally taken place two days after the death of a person. The code 0745 is given to all burials in the Derry City Cemetery recorded on the Derry Rootsireland website, and does not necessarily mean that William Devine (if it actually is the correct person) was sharing the same burial plot in Derry City Cemetery with his two deceased wives.
Best wishes,
Brendan

Ireland / Re: Does anyone have access to the Clonmel Herald?
« on: Wednesday 12 August 15 15:59 BST (UK) »
Hi Jan,
here's a transcription of the two Clonmel Herald newspaper articles:
"On Friday week last, an armed party went to the dwelling house of Mr. Edward Keating, on the lands of Ballycahane, broke into the interior, dragged him out of bed, presented two blunderbusses and a double barrelled gun at him, horsewhipped him and gave him a severe cut on the head which endangered his life. They then went to Mr. Jeffry Keating's and endeavoured to break in his house, which they could not effect. The ruffians killed a man of Keating's, named Thomas Cahill, and beat his wife within a few perches of the house. The party were well armed, and we understand consist of a large gang. These outrages might have been prevented if police had been stationed at Manister cross, as we before stated many outrages in that neighbourhood. _ Limerick Chronicle" (Clonmel Herald March 8th 1837; page 3)
"On the night of the 16th instant, an armed party of men about sixteen in number, forcibly entered the house of Mr. Edmond Keating, of Gurrane, parish of Manister, in the co. Limerick, whom they beat in a savage manner; and they then proceeded to the house of Thomas Cahill, whom they also beat so severely that he died next day; and the same party paid a threatening visit to the house of Mr. Jeffrey Keating, of Grangehill, in the above parish." (Clonmel Herald, March 8th 1837; page 4)
