Limerick / Re: Cregan Shanagolden
« on: Tuesday 03 April 12 12:35 BST (UK)  »
Thank you JP, I have sent you a message. I had a quick look for the Edward Fizgerald and found the following:

http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie:8080/LandedEstates/jsp/estate-show.jsp?id=2222

FREEMEN OF LIMERICK 1746-1836

Fitzgerald        Edward                   Esqre, Ballinvira                                     4/12/1792

At Ballinvira, County Limerick, Edward B. Fitzgerald,
Esq.

From:

The Kilkenny Independent
Saturday, MAY 19, 1827

On Thursday last, at his seat, Ballinvira, Co.
Limerick, Thomas Brown Fitzgerald, Esq.

From

The Kilkenny Independent
Wednesday, May 30, 1827

Just in case anyone else is researching this family. The two deaths are very close together, wonder if these two men are related?

That is all very interesting, and fits in with what info I have. If you reply to this, then I can send you a private message re Dr. Cregan's descendants. He himself died several years ago.

Hello JpReynolds,

Thank you for your reply. I do have some info about Dr. Cregan in Manchester, but as it concerns living people, under the rootschat sytem they can't be mentioned in a message to protect privacy, so we will have to exchange two more messages from you to here so that I can then send you a personal message. Hope this makes sense!

Very interested to note he had a sister Margaret.

Westmeath / Re: Floods of Westmeath

There were only 5 Vaughan family plots in Westmeath c 1854, as compared to 50 listings of Flood.
By 1901 there are still a few: (Copperalley is in Delvin) you can probably ignore the Athlone ones, as they are a good way away.

Not much help, but maybe worth making a note of.

London and Middlesex / Re: John Irwin, Hatter, 81 Oxford St, London, before 1803
« on: Wednesday 11 January 12 21:43 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you very much, that solves where it was - lovely map, too. I am lucky that they chose his shop as a marker. From my - not very expert - look at google Maps- I do think it has sadly gone. However, as it was opposite the Pantheon according to Horwood's map, I was able to find this -

- the year before that death in Brighton,
and also this:

which shows the opposite side of the street early 19th C.
Thanks again for the help and interest,

PM

added later:

Just found this one, from a bit later, but as I have never been able to find out what happened to the daughters Charlotte and Catherine Irwin, I am not sure they would have been there then. But wonderful shots of the street before the damage was done...putting it up here in case anyone else has Oxford St London ancestors.

London and Middlesex / Re: John Irwin, Hatter, 81 Oxford St, London, before 1803

Thank you, again a useful piece of info. I did pop down Oxford St a couple of years ago, but it looks like redevelopment took place, and No 81 is long gone, unless the numbers changed. I have a sneaking wish to see those hats! John Irwin himself is not an ancestor - its his wife's father, Charles Tarrant, who is.

Thanks again.
