Lancashire / Re: Carrolls in Manchester
« on: Tuesday 07 November 23 06:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

It’s nice to meet someone else having fun with these lovely Landscapes Irish families!

My grandmother and her Irish family ended up in Salford and Manchester.

However it became clear that they did not come to Salford first,
The Roman Catholic Church they used first only had records from a couple of years after they came

For possibly this reason and others especially family they were still having  baptisms and marriages in Ireland
I found a group of families who appeared as witnesses on those RC baptisms and marriages and many of them turned out to be related

The same group including some Carroll’s repeatedly turned up together having baptisms in Ireland

You may be able to pursue similar avenues

In my case my first discovery was that my ggrandmother Anastasia Hoey was born in Heywood. Her parents were married in Bury C ofE. I found some children but not all baptised in Heywood RC. Also many godparents including Carroll’s.

They then went to Salford but the missing baptisms remained a mystery.

Eventually knowing her father John Hoey was born in Dublin  with the help of the net I found two missing baptisms at St Michael Dublin. complete with referrals to the mother of HeywoodUK.

To my surprise there were also other events to other Hoeys and people related to them   

I’ve also found links before that. Including cousins/ aunts from Dundalk and possible links to a group of Hoeys around Castlebellingham. I’m still chipping away. Like you many went to America.

The best Irish links were Irish genealogy, the big sites such as Ancestry and good old Rootschat

Just a few ideas. Is it worth trying Heywood?  Latest Irish records? Back to Ireland?  Some of my best clues were from looking at the whole group of Hoey saddlers and the godparents

Also a kind person checked the slow led 1851 census for Salford and that’s where I got my Dundalk and Cassidy link from

I hope you see an Avenue here you haven’t tried

Sorry it’s a bit rambled but you so want to give any one bogged down with these lovely people!

Good luck

Emms ??? ;)

Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Carlisle Baptism
« on: Monday 06 November 23 23:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I used to live not far from Brook Street near Our Lady and St Joseph. In fact my original piano came from very close to your family’s house.

Before I moved ai researched many families from those few streets including a friends.

A couple ofthungs. Many families with the name Dunn I’ve come across were descended from Irish and many were RC.

Has anyone looked at the RC register for you?  If not, if you’ve got good dates Carlislle library might do a lookup for you.

Also you say a child was later baptised in Ven Beds. Do you know that denomination?  Is it Venerable Bede?  It sounds like an RC parish name.

Just a few thoughts. Good luck with the hunt

Emms  :)

Lancashire / Re: WW1 Memorial - Where?
« on: Sunday 14 November 21 13:34 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all

Thank you everyone who helped find this memorial and sent lovely photos

William Diggle wad my Grandads cousin and that’s why I had the original photo.

I hope this finds you all safe and well

I’m a bit out of practice

I’m not looking like travelling much yet.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there was a ceremony there today and if poppies were laid or took photos

Ive bought crosses a couple of times but never got

Take care

Best wishes

Hi again

Hopefully this is a link to Lancashire Record office search and you can request further information

There's just one Fitton, John Fitton

I hope it helps as much as mine did


If it doesn't work google Lancashire Record Office and search their collections

https://policesearch.lancashire.gov.uk/police_detail.asp?id=59230

By the
 way, you've given me an idea. I may get another copy of mine, lost in storage in flooding

Best wishes

Hi Luke

I have a gg grandfather a police officer in the area and I got my best information including various family information and military reference which then lead to a service and Chelsea pensioner record from a brilliant resource in Lancashire record office

This was a police record for Lancashire. There was nana index and they sent me a copy of the full entry a few days later.  I was visiting the office


This was na few years ago and I think it may be at least indexed online, even if you have to ask for a copy.  Also check it hasn't been moved to Manchester.

My relative was in Rochdale and other local towns

Best wishes

Emms :) :) :)

Hi
Just a thought. Have you looked for local cemetery records online?  Then you could see if there’s a stone and if there’s any info

Also any crop to comments in the parish burial records. It’s not unknown!

Best wishes

Hi

I’ve not heard of that custom. A friends family and possibly my own further back were gypsiesand I’m learning.

However I do know that many where I used to live were RC and would appear inburial registers. Also in cemeteries up north where I used to live there were quite a few gypsy grave stones with beautiful paintings in colour especially of the vans and countryside. The local fishermen also had them for their boats There were quite a few of both, really besutiful and sometimeswith a little portrait of the person

I guess local gypsies to your family might know. Maybe you’ll strike lucky here

Take care

Emms :)
