Still looking for my grandmother,Annie Timmons (Timmins), who died in Enniscorthy on 27/03/1943.
She was one of eleven childen born to Annie Dwyer and Patrick Timmons. Have never seen picture of her as she died when my father was a very young . Can anyone help?

Not sure what you mean by looking for her other than a photograph. However, as your grandmother died 'recently', I would imagine that there would be records easily available. Have you tried this and perhaps even writing to local papers and advertising.
Good luck

Sorry for not being clear about what I'm looking for. My father's family lost contact with the Timmons's when my grandmother died. The only information we have is a list of her siblings and the names of their spouses.
Would like to get more information about that side of family.
Have to make correction to Annie's parent details. Correct name for her mother is Anastasia Dwyer not Annie Dwyer. I also know that the family lived in Irish Street Ennicorthy.
Thanks for suggestion about contacting local paper.

Hi again -
you have not said when Anastatia was born- there are 3 Anastatia Dwyers on Family Search you could look at.
I know you have an address in Enniscorthy- is this Anastatia's parents?
Sometimes, people might say they are from the nearest town when really they are from small places around so that might be worth checking e.g. on Family Search 'Ballymoaty' and 'Oulart' are mentioned- from what I can see on the internet- Oulart is just outside Enniscorthy.
I suppose the best you can do is find out whether siblings remained in Wexford and find their descendants. If you can get to LDS libraries, you can check Irish BMD indexes and order 1901 and 1911 censuses if you have a bit more information- as I said earlier perhaps contact local paper etc.
Good luck

You say you have the names of he siblings and their spouses - you could try 'googling' some names- see what turns up.

I know its not probably the same but did you come across Tom Timmons 1875-1905 buried in Ballyoughter Cemetry. My Great Grandfathers daughter Ann aged 14yrs is buried there.
Usually in the search you come across similar names thanks regards Brendan

Just wondering about ur grand-daughter Ann aged14, I have seen the grave for Ann who I was looking for it is in front of a church and there is a tree quite close by. she is not mentioned on the grave, not sure of the church now but it is on the road from outside Camolin that leads over to the Gorey-Ballycanew road. I would love to know is this the same Anne, Thanks in Advance Brendan

Hi
I am researching my Timmons / Timmins family of Liverpool. At present I have got as far back as my great grandfather James Patrick Timmons b 1857 Culmullin, Co Meath. He married Mary Eliz Culligan in 1880 and had the following children
Joseph James, Francis, Elizabeth Mary, Michael, Patricia, Alban and James.
Any info on Culmullin area would be very useful.

Hi Folks,
Just stumbled upon this thread. The Timmons we are researching hail from New Ross, County Wexford in Ireland and at least one of the offsprint, Charles Francis Timmons (usually known by Francis) moved to Wales at some point before 1890 and married a local girl Margaret Mary Long (whose parents were from County Cork, Ireland). The Irish community in Glamorgan must have been quite a strong close knit one as the marital union between C Francis Timmons and Margaret led to at least 9 children, most of whom married Irishmen living and working in Glamorgan.
I see from the thread that there is Enniscorthy / Wexford links and do Wonder if there is some kind of tie in somewhere. To date, we haven't identified C Francis Timmons parents (haven't ordered his marriage cert yet).
Will keep an eye and a keen ear out for more Timmons related threads however...
Best wishes
Kenny and Jane

Hi Heywood,
I think you may have found the parents ! Brilliant stuff. Thanks.
Looking at the children I know Charles Francis Timmons had with Margaret Mary Long, the names of their children seem to marrying up with the grandparents: First child was a daughter and was named Catherine Ellen Timmons (paternal and maternal grandmothers). First 2 sons follow naming tradition named after grandfathers John and Martin !
Good work, Heywood.
Bets wishes and have a great 2011.

Hello,
Hoping that you will pick up on this message after so much time has elapsed but I am also descended from Charles Francis Timmons (son of Martin Timmons) via his daughter, Elizabeth Timmons, who married a young Cornish man, (surname Tonkin) working in the Welsh mines. They moved to Cornwall with a young family and I descend from them through their daughter, Margaret Tonkin who married my paternal grandfather Kenneth Basher. My Dad ended up marrying an Irish girl and I grew up in Ireland.
If this message reaches you it would be interesting to know what happened to the other descendants of Charles (Francis) and Margaret Timmons (I use the version with the 'o' as this is what appears on my Grt-granny's birthcert).
Regards,
Dominic
