Donegal / Re: Patrick McGilloway
« on: Friday 15 April 11 20:45 BST (UK)  »
Dear Brian

Bearing in mind that the John Farren mentioned was a cousin of my grandmother and therefore that I come to it from that side of the house here's what I have:
John & Mary married 2 April 1909 in St. Cecelia's, Boston, MA.
They had the following children:
John J (1909-1909)
Rose (1913- )
Mary (1915- )
James (1917-1988)
They appear to have moved to New York City c. 1910.
I have Mary McGilloway as having been born 9 June 1878 Meedinmore, Malin, Co. Donegal, but you may know better about that.

Regards

Joseph

Cork / Tenancy Disputes (Kanturk R.D.)
« on: Saturday 07 March 09 13:24 GMT (UK)  »
Any help in the following matter would be gratefully received.
A question was raised on my g-grandfather's behalf in the UK Parliament in 1911. The Minister's (non-) reply suggested that some legal proceedings prevented him from commenting on the matter (he used the term sub-judice). The matter was in regard to the erection of labourer's cottage. The relevant legislation quoted was the Labourers Act of 1906. A ruling had been made by the Recorder of Cork, which was the cause for the dispute brought by my g-grandfather.
Does anyone know where records of such proceedings might be kept, whether they might be open to the public or even which body might deal with such disputes?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Dear Fred

Phoebe R (william's widow) died 20/11/1886 in Portswood Road. In the 1861 Census she was recorded as a lodging house keeper at Chandos Street. In 1871 she was a retired lodging house keeper living with her daughter Elizabeth Archer (the address is unclear but it could be Portswood Road)
Frederick William R married Elizabeth Smart Rogers 9/2/1858 at the Above Bar Chapel, So'ton. He died 30/1/1917. She predeceased him 22/1/1891. She was buried on the Common 28/1/1891 in section B011 plot 248. Frederick followed her into the same grave 5/2/1917.
As Trish pointed out above Frederick was on board the SS Cherbourg at the time of the 1881 census. I went down to the record office a few weeks ago and looked at the crew agreement for the first 6 months of that year. It said he had been on the same boat the year before, but I couldn't find him on that agreement. He is recorded as an able seaman. The boat went between So'ton, Le Havre, St. Malo, Cherbourg and Jersey in those 6 months.
In the 1891 census Frederick William was living in Priory Road with a son, George, a daughter, Annie, and a visitor. He was recorded as a civil assistant at the Ordnance Survey. In 1901 he is still in Priory Road but is now living on his own means. In 1911 he is still in Priory Road (different no.) and describes himself as a retired merchant seaman.
Hope this helps.
I apologise if you knew any of this already.
If there is anything else ask and I amy be able to help.

Dear Fred

My partner's line goes: William R; Frederick William R; Holsea Tom R; Frank Edward R; Frank Tom R. She was in touch with other Ruddock relations in Somerset a few years ago. They lived on the Waterside before moving up there.
I've done a bit of family tree work. If you're interested I could try and pass it on. A couple of years ago we went down and got a print out of where the graves of the Ruddocks are on the Common (unfortunately the plots in question didn't seem to have any headstones).
If I have it right your Frederick george and Holsea Tom were brothers. The latter lived in St. Denys and appears to have been a shoe-maker. Frederick lived in Valley Road and was a labourer. He died in 1941. Percy, his son was born in 1889 and died in 1965. Does that sound about right?

Hello
My partner is descended from this William Ruddock and still lives in Southampton. His parish marriage record sadly does not furnish any further useful information (well the copy in Bath Record Offfice at least). Are you related to William?
