ALLEY Peter & John

[inept]

Thanks again Shane

I have ordered Dr George Underwood's Death Certificate.  He died in 1879 at Braidwood, NSW (halfway from Canberra to the coast).  NSW does not have an on-line certificate.  It will take 3 weeks.

The catalogue listing has his father as John; mother as Jane, consistent with IGI.  We'll have to wait and see whether his birth place is listed.  I see Limerick is quite some distance from Dublin.

Meanwhile, the Irish records may yield more "proof".

Thanks Postmagic

I have been going through the material in your previous post  The Gaddie material (from USA) was particularly interesting.

The Peter above mentioned was a barrister, according to
http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924029566530/cu31924029566530_djvu.txt


The legal observer, or, Journal of jurisprudence, Volume 9 - p. 66 has a good  obituary. It is free on Google books.

There was also in 1817–18 John Alley Lord mayor of Dublin.

None of this is anyway proven, but it is a relatively uncommon name.

Have you searched the Freeman's Journal Newspaper for marriages etc?  It is free online via a number of libraries in the uk?  I have access if you haven't.

Grandson of John Alley Lord Mayor
Journal of the American Irish Historical Society. Vol II. 1899


Mr. John R. Alley.
Born in Dublin, Ireland, 1822 ; a prominent Boston brewer; life member of the
Society. His grandfather, John Alley, was at One time lord mayor of Dublin, and
his father was a graduate of Cambridge University, England. Mr. Alley, our
deceased associate, had warm Irish sympathies, and it has been truly said of him
that few men in Boston or New England did more for the Irish cause than he. His
purse and voice were always at the disposal of his fellow-countrymen in the
various phases of Irish movements in this country for the past thirty years. He
was an ardent lover of Ireland, and took a lively interest in her history and
literature. Admitted to the Society June 24, 1897 ; died in Boston, Mass., June
21, 1898.



John Alley, the Lord Mayor, was previously from 1808  an Alderman and Sherrif of The city of Dublin. He was a Brewer and lived at
Townsend St, which is beside Trinity College. Might be worth contacting Trinity Alumini office to see what records they have, if any, re Alley graduates of the period.

Thanks, Pastmagic

achives.org lists two medical Georges.  The earlier one is perhaps the author of the article on mercury "eruptions", the later one is perhaps the one who emigrated to NSW after 1831.

Good research!

Also noticed that several people on Ancestry.com have your George as an ancestor. You probably have those refs already. Have him born in Limerick.

He sounds  a very interesting person anyway!
