Hi wlddlw,
Wish I could tell you I had found heaps on our Julia Quilligan, but alas I can't!  :( She has proven to be very elusive....Darn it!!

Please feel free to drop me a personal email, it would be great to see where we slot into each other's trees :)

World War One / Albert Jones brother of Mary Alice Mattingly
« on: Thursday 14 July 11 07:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi!
I am searching for information on Mary Alice Mattingly (nee Jones) brother Albert Jones.  He served in WW1 and was a prisoner of war in Germany.  I'm hoping there might be a descendant out there somewhere who could help me Please!! :).

A photo of Albert would be spectacular!! And any knowledge of his service medals would be brilliant. ;)

Albert Jones info...

Born 1882, Redfern, Sydney N.S.W. Australia
Father. William Jones born 1845 -+ Birkenhead, Cheshire, England
Mother. Eliza Jane Martin born 1850 Bolton, Lancashire. England
Siblings. Mary Alice - Edith - William - William Herbert - Eliza Ann - Ethel - Arthur - George - Herbert.


Being as Albert Jones is a common name ::) hoped his sister's married name MATTINGLY might help identify him.

Cheers, Corsharn

Hi Andy,
I feel like a parrot repeating thanks yet again...But thanks, yet again! ;D

I have William's marriage & death certificates, both have him born in Birkenhead....going on his age on both certificates he was born in 1845.

I have found a few William Jones on the census, with the correct fathers name and occupation, but his mother is still unclear....On his death certificate it has his mother as Martha Morris, but I don't know if this is correct as the informant was the medical superintendent...And I haven't been able to find a John Jones with a wife Martha in Birkenhead.

That's why I thought the birth certificates might help.

Hi Andy,
Many thanks! For the helpful information. ;D

It's a real bummer  that I have to purchase all 4 certificates. :(

Wish the UK BDM was like the BDM here in Sydney, Australia...It gives the parents names on-line, so at least you know if your looking at the correct person.

Limerick / Quilligan's from Limerick
« on: Friday 16 May 08 04:32 BST (UK)  »
Hi, :)

Any Quilligan's out there that might be able to help me find info on my 3rd great-grandmother Julia Quilligan please?

She was born around 1820 in Limerick, her father was Patrick Quilligan, mother unknown. Julia came to Australia  in 1836 and married Michael Connor.

I have been searching for years to find any info on her, but keep hitting a brickwall. Surely there are some Quilligan's out there doing the family tree ???

I'd be ever so grateful for any assistances. ;D

Hi Freeman,
William was transported on board the "England" in 1826... His crime was Highway Robbery, and his sentence was  life.

William was my 3rd great-grandfather.

If you would like to send me a personal message, I can help you with further info.
