Tipperary / Re: Irish accents

Shane MacGowan went to top English public school Westminster School so although he has moved back to Tipp to live his accent may be more stage than authentic.

Pat Shortt is a comedian from Tipperary, he has had some hit TV shows in Ireland - Killinaskully and the D'Unbelievables, but to get a quick blast of a Tipperary accent see him play the madman Tom in Father Ted.

From Caernarfon I would hazard a guess that the Royal Welch Fusiliers would be his reg, their museum is in Caernarfon Castle.

Midlothian / Edinburgh Census Return - Help needed with handwriting!
« on: Sunday 09 July 06 19:54 BST (UK)  »
Hi, my great grandfather, William Smillie Brown is on this census form, aged 4. It's from Edinburgh, West Calder, but I can't decipher the entry for the parish of his birth. His mum Julia Brown (nee Mullin) was born in Ratho (to John Mullin and Mary Ann (nee McKenna)), and his father David from East Calder, but I can't read William's birthplace!

Derbyshire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up 1871 & 91 please WOODWARD

Okay, cheers - I sort of realised that after I had posted but no worries good to know there are others researching Woodward in Derbyshire. I wish Egginton parish was as well documented as Church Gresley though!

Hi again Beryla,

Just a bit more information.

It appears that both Thomas and Ann Woodward may have been dead by 1851 as I cannot find them on the census for that year.  That may explain why James and George were living with their elder brother in 1851.

I cannot find Maria either, but, as she would have been 27 by 1851, she had probably married.

Valentine was married and appears on the 1851 Census living in the household of his in-laws, John and Mary Thompson at Church Gresley, with his wife Elizabeth (nee Thompson) and 1 month old baby James.  He was a Brickmaker.

Thomas Woodward had married Ann(e) Peace at Church Gresley on 23rd September 1816.

The bmd index is now searchable, for free, at www.ancestry.co.uk if you wish to check out the deaths of Thomas and Ann Woodward.

Hope this fills in few gaps.


Regards,

Richard


Hello, first ever post here on this board.

I have been researching a branch of mine - the Woodwards of Egginton, Derbyshire for a while and came across this post. Would Egginton and Church Gresley be close enough for the Thomas and Ann(e) to be the same as mine?

Thomas Woodward m. Ann (Unknown) b. 1782, d. 28 Oct 1818 Egginton, Derbys.

Children:

i. Robert Woodward b. 1815, Egginton, d. 1881, Egginton.
ii. Mary Woodward b. 1817, Egginton, d. 28 Oct 1818, Egginton.

Note: The daughter and mother tragically dying the same day (and not in childbirth)

Robert married Sarah Madeley in 1843 (d. 1852) and Martha Smith in 1871.
