John Lindsay died 1802

[juneinsearch]

John Lindsay lived at Lindville (now a listed building in the Ballintemple area), Cork and died in 1802. I think I now have all the IGI info and ANF numbers for relevant Lindsays, Ormsbys and Wileys (who may be my family)
but wonder if anyone could provide further info re John Lindsay eg. birth, marriage, spouse - IGI shows the spouse as a Frances Johnston.

My interest is the possible line from Mellon, Wiley, Ormsby, Lindsay. My ancestor Matilda Wylie is possibly in this line. I think her grandmother may be Margaret Matilda Lindsay, a daughter of John and who married Charles Ormsby in 1799 at Christchurch, Cork.

Any help in this would be appreciate. Thank you.

I am descended from  HENRY LINDSEY (SAY)?) of PEAKE. My 2xgt gm was Alicia Lindsey married to Thomas Radley Esq, of Rockville, Cork.  I have a chart listing all the Lindsey siblings  descended from William Crooke of Dereen. Will look up same.

It is likely John Lindsey of Lindville, Maryville. and Janeville was brother of Henry Lindsey of Peake. In Cork Encumbered Estate Vol 7 and 8 JOHN LINDSEY is owner of Lindville etc exparte Joseph Woodley.  The daughter of Henry...Mary Lindsey, married  Joseph.Woodley.  Lindseys are my cousins. My gt gt gm was Alicia Lindsey, sister to Mary Lindsey. The Lindville people would be my cousins.

Thanks again Lorraine. That's very useful. I'll piece this info together with all the other I have about the Lindsays to see if I do have a connection. I think I need to find what happened to Maggie Matilda Lindsay (daughter of John) and Charles Ormsby who married in 1799 at Christchurch in Cork. I understand I could get records from St Finbarre's.

Rootschat folk are so willing to help - It's really nice and encouraging when you're plodding away at the search. I'll get back to you in due course if I find I'm related to Lindsays.

 My parents were both born Scotland, aslo my brother and I. The Granparents were married and also lived in Scotland. It took me 4 years to find my GF was born in Ireland and his father. More recently discovered another branch of the family (paternal GM) from Donegal. It's been a surprise (brilliant) to find these Irish roots and have loved the visits to Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Maghera and plan more!

Hi June,
I have a list of baptisms from a book of the register of St. Finbarrs Cathedral.

There are 8 baptisms for children of John Lindsay and Frances.
I don't know if there was only one person John Lindsay -

The first one is for
Jno.       7 July  1767 son of Jno Lindsay of Templeton Esq and his lady     Frances
 
There is one listed for Margaret Matilda daughter of Mr. Jno. Lindsay and Frances - Baptism on 29 April 1779 - which would tie in with your Margaret Matilda.

The others listed are Noblet Johnson 21 sept 1768
                                  Marg.                  21 Jan 1771
                                  Cath                    17 April 1772
                                  Harriot                 31 May 1772
                                  Joseph                 6 June 1774
                                  Francis (son of)   22 July 1776

There is a marriage for Arthur Chute & Tras ( which I think should be Fras) Lindsay on 26 Aug 1797.   if you google Jonathan Lindsay Cork the second item is ancestry.com with details of Chute family. If you click on Frances you get information with  portraits of Arthur Chute and Frances Lindsay Chute. It says Frances was born 1776 daughter of John Lindsay.   If you note the above list does not have any "Female Frances"  .  You might have seen this already.

There are two other marriages with Lindsay connections  - Elizabeth Lindsay and Francis Curtis 28 June 1757and  Patrick Lindsay & Ellinor Galway  25 Oct 1758.  No addresses listed.

I don't have anything after 1804.

There is a listing for a marriage of George Ormsby Capt. Royal Artillery and Grace Roch Licence 13 Jan 1803

A Marriage for Robert Ormesby (spelling with E) & Francis (male spelling) Symons 27 April,1797

There is a burial for Francis Woodley  16 Mar 1798 which might interest Lorc who replied to you.

Hope there is some helpful snippet there somewhere.

Mary

Hello Mary,
Thank you very much for Lindsay info. It's wonderful as it confirms Francis as John Lindsays spouse and DofB of Margaret Matilda. I made a written copy of a Francis Lindsay's will from a book in Dublin library on one visit which seemed to be the same family but had no info re marriage to John. Sadly I havent' been able to confirm parentage of my Matilda Wiley (b abt 1830 and married to Robert Mellon 12 Dec 1854 in Killelagh, Londonderry) She is my 2nd great grandmother.  So I may not have a Lindsay connection after all - very sad! Especially as I purchased a rare book of another family member (also John Lindsay) who was a well-known numismatist (coins) in 19th century. I have not totally given up though!!

Hi June,

Don't know if I have helped or confused you more.  The dates I gave are actually the baptismal dates and not the birth dates.

Good luck with the search anyway.


For Lorraine,

Is that photo on the "Radleys of Cork" site and in what section please? I would love to see it.
