Cork / Re: Cork Examiner Archives
« on: Wednesday 06 September 23 19:28 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for helping! So, that can't be my ancestor.  Perhaps, the John Hall mentioned in the notice was a son of my ancestor. She had a son named John. I'll have to see if the street mentioned in the notice has any connection to my Halls or comb-making. I'm a descendant of Elizabeth (Tongue) Hall through her daughter Emma. She married John Hanly who was a math teacher at the King's Hospital School in Dublin. Emma immigrated to the U.S, in 1886 with her daughter's family, the Heaps (my ancestors). Thanks again!

Can someone find an old 1856 death notice from the Cork Examiner. At Ancestry, I found a possible match for a maternal 4th great-grandmother. She was Elizabeth (Tongue) Hall of Dublin. I tried the British Newspaper Archive, but they don't include that year.

Elizabeth's late husband, Samuel Hall, was a comb-maker at Pill Lane and later at Arran Quay in Dublin. Here's the information I found:

NAME: HALL, Elizabeth
PLACE OF DEATH: Dublin DUB IRL
PUBLICATION ABBREVIATION: Cork Examiner (COR IRL)
PUBLICATION DATE:1856-12-08

Hi Villa39,

Greetings from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My 4th great-uncle, Thomas Hall (1821-1874), was a minister in the Brampton area of Ontario. I've been told that he was the one responsible for encouraging his niece, Sarah Hanley Heap (my 2nd great-grandmother and daughter of Emma Hall Hanly of Dublin), to immigrate to Ontario. The Heaps lived in Owen Sound briefly before permanently settling in Muskegon, Michigan. Anyway, Thanks for your message and help! I'm glad you had luck too! I'll try contacting the church.

I have a maternal 4th great-aunt, Matilda (Hall) Warren of Exmouth, who was buried in Littleham in October 1903. Does anyone know which cemetery I should look-up? Online, I can only find one for Littleham called St Margaret and St Andrew Churchyard. I'm hoping to get a photo of her memorial stone if one exists. Here's a web page for Matilda (see below). Matilda's sister, Emma (Hall) Hanley, was my 3rd great-grandmother. I'm working on my Hall ancestors of Bradford, Yorkshire and Dublin, Ireland.

Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for 1903 Burial record
« on: Thursday 03 May 18 13:49 BST (UK)  »
Hi Ciderdrinker,

Many thanks for the look-up! Online, it looks as though there is only one possible burial place in the village at the St Margaret and St Andrew Churchyard. Matilda's husband was buried at the Abney Park Cemetery in London in 1858.  Their known children were Caroline Matilda, Mary Elizabeth, and Maria Sophia (Mrs. Thomas Henry Hewat).

Here's my web page for Matilda:https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/189384356/matilda-warren

Best regards,
Richard

Devon Lookup Requests / Looking for 1903 Burial record
« on: Wednesday 02 May 18 14:13 BST (UK)  »
I  noticed there is a burial record for a distant maternal aunt of mine named Matilda (Hall) Warren. She was born about 1828 in Dublin, Ireland and died on October 13, 1903 near Exmouth, Devon. Her late husband was  Alexander Frederick Warren. My 3rd great-grandmother, Emma (Hall) Hanley, was a sister of her's. All that I need is the name of the cemetery Matilda was buried in. I'm trying to work on my Hall ancestors who were originally from Bradford, Yorkshire.

Thanks,
Richard

Please do not ask for look-ups from specific commercial sources.
Most commercial sources have strict 'Terms of Use', which forbid publishing their data elsewhere, so asking for such look-ups is also asking people to ignore the 'Terms of Use'.

Hi rosie99 and BumbleB:

Many thanks for your help! I'll try contacting the church, and I'll post Sarah Griffith Heap's death notice on her "Find A Grave" page. I've done as much research as I can on my Heap ancestors, so now I'm concentrating on my Heap relatives and their spouses.

Best regards,
Richard

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure, but I've had luck finding churchyard gravestones for other relatives and ancestors in the UK. It looks as though a fair amount of gravestones still exist at St. Augustine's, so I'm hopeful.

Lancashire / Saint Augustine's Churchyard in Pendlebury
« on: Wednesday 11 October 17 17:48 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone live near Saint Augustine's Churchyard in Pendlebury, and would you mind taking a couple of gravestone photos? Unfortunately, I don't know the plot number. I learned that the 1st wife of my 3rd great-uncle was buried there. Her name was Sarah Jane Griffith (Mrs. Robert Robinson Heap). Sarah died on Feb. 5 or 6, 1903. Also, I'd love to know if her husband and children were buried there. The children's names were Amy, Carrie, Robert Percy, and Kenneth Heap:
