thanks again .. I am on the cavan rootsireland sites and am currently handing euros over like there is no tomorrow LOL   Excuse my ignorance but what does LDS stand for? Is that to do with Family Search? Any ideas where to find a published copy of the Census - would Cavan Genealogy or Library hold that? Will try PRONI later.
If you need any help with NZ sites I'm your girl!!

LDS = Latter Day Saints..yes Familysearch!!

Before you go around spending a pile of money you should try getting as much help on boards like this!

I know from trying to do my own Halls I could have spent a fortune on records that looked right BUT were not! You could try here;   www.goo.gl/1sj2y  where you'll also find a link to Jan who might have better knowledge or advice! She has been researching them for years!

You can always go to www.google.ie  and search...   "Hall" and "Knocknaveagh"  where you'll get 324 results... a lot are rubbish but you could find something!!

I have Eliza Hall bap Oct 19, 1882 to William and Mary at Knocktemple with a notation on file that says gone to NZ.

William married Mary Whitley 24 June 1869 at Knocktemple with a notation that this William was the son of William and that Mary was from Eather o/s Oldcastle.

These are all descendents of John and Elizabeth Hall of Knocknaveigh - see 1821 census - my family is also descendent from them.

I have also gone through the copious images that I downloaded but I don't have a 1821 census for John and Elizabeth at Knocknaveigh - I did find something on line with other descendants who went to Canada (from memory) and so have them as John and Elizabeth born c 1775 with children Elizabeth (Bessie), James, John, Mary, Sarah, Thomas and William. I have nothing to substantiate this but thought it was likely as the names have been carried down in my line. But then of course with being Church of Ireland (with English heritage) I guess there weren't that many names to choose from!! I have also PM'd you - tried to send this as well but it wouldn't go through - I see there is a limit per day I guess. Who are you descended from?

[mycatmavis]

I am descended from Eliza [Bessie] Hall.  I have tracked the families of Eliza, her brother Thomas and her sister Sarah.  So your William is descended from either James, William or John.

Descended from William who married Elizabeth Strong. I have also been attempting to track the Strongs - they are in Eighter and Knocknaveigh. Stephen Strong was a witness at my GG Grandfathers (John Hall) wedding in New Zealand in 1867. He was a warden at the Dunedin Gaol and there was also a Samuel Strong who worked there in later years. I have been trying for a while to work out who they all are!! Do you have a copy of the census document - that would be brilliant if you could email it to me. I would also be interested in the families that you have tracked. Where are you based?
Many thanks
