There are a few prison records for an Elizabeth McDermott nee Thompson b 1838 ish in Delgany.

Hum, it also states that she was Protestant which helps as so was Francis.

A bit tight on ages but I'm trying to see IF she is a possibility as Francis' mum !

Also, there were Thompsons in Delgany on the GV !

It's getting exciting now

I have found a John & Eliza McDermott having children AT THE RIGHT TIME in Delgany.

John Thomas McDermott b 1830
Richard McDermott b 1838
Catherina McDermott b 1843

No sign of Francis, BUT this could be for a number of reasons.

These are nearly 200 year old records and a LOT are illegible or were mistranscribed.

Re Turners Cottages

Richard Turner, best known for the Curvilinear Range in the Irish National Botanic Gardens, built his foundry, Hammersmith Ironworks, in 1834 on a six-acre site at the southern end of Shelbourne Road, immediately adjacent to Trinity College's Botanic Gardens. Many sections of the railings of Trinity College were cast in this foundry.

Turner built fourteen houses, known as Turner's Cottages, for his employees. These were located in the laneway opposite the Oval building and survived until the early 1970s. They were known locally as The Gut, for reasons that are not clear.

Hello Tara,
Well didn't you do well I am amazed.
I had to give myself a day off today, my head was buzzing last night with all the info, so I have paper everywhere . I am going to do my charts and get the families in some sort of order.
It was eye opening to read about Turners cottages, I used to conjure up the idea of rows of little neat cottages with roses around the door, but learn't differently when I researched my other side who came from Cradley West Midlands, they were chain and nail makers( they made the chains for the Titanic) the women and kids made the nails in their back yards and like Turners their cottages were the same, poor people they had it very rough, some very sad history( I love history, old castles and churches etc ) I have managed to get back to the late  1700's on this line.
Thank you again
I really enjoyed the sites you put up it is just knowing where to look and I don't, I had a smile over Elizabeth she sounded a real handful.
I will be in touch soon with the Fennell queries.
Goodnight Maureen
