Good Evening,

I have recently found a Royal Marine record for my 5 x Great Grandfather which states he was born 1781 approx in Newlin, Cornwall (He lived in Chatham and Plymouth with Royal Marines who he had joined about 1798), Then in 1846 shortly before he was moved to the Greenwich Hospital he stated his address a Mount Bay, Cornwall. I have found a Newlyn near Mounts Bay which didn't have a church in the time Joseph was born and i have found some information which says people would travel to Paul to attend church. I have had a look on FreeReg to see if there are any Jospeh Catherine's born around the time and the nearest one i come up with is Joseph Cottran/Cattran bastard son of Mary Cottran/Cattran baptised/christened in St Pol de Leon, Paul, Cornwall on 17 Mar 1782.

Is there anyone on here who has either family names in the Paul/Newlyn area who may be able to help me with this? I am in Surrey so travelling to Truro to look at the records isn't an option unfortunately with a young family.

Thank you in advance for any help

Hi,

I'm trying to trace my 4 x great grandfathers James Kelly. He was born in approximately 1804 Roscommon and married Jane Unknown. They had 4 children I know of Margaret born around 1828, Patrick around 1830 (my 3 x great grandfather), Mary around 1838 and Bridget around 1840 all born in Roscommon, I think there may have been more children who possibly died as there is quite a large gap.
James also had a brother who came to England with him called Laughlin/ Lockland who was born about 1806 and on his marriage record in 1852 it states his father as being Patrick Kelley.

I have been told the following about Patrick Kelly (1830 - 1893) and his parents were among 3600 tenants evicted from the Mahon Estate at Strokestown in Roscommon in 1847. This led to Bishop Browne of Elphin writing an open letter of denunciation to the Earl of Salisbury which was published in the Freeman's Journal on 29th April 1848. Patrick's family is listed in this letter, a copy of which is displayed in the Famine Museum at Strokestown. Patrick settled in North Shields, learned the trade of a boot and shoe maker, and married Frances Davis (1830 - 1902), with whom he had 14 children. In 1851 he opened a shop at Clive Street, North Shields, and as the business expanded opened further premises, including a shop in Market Square, Jarrow.

I would be very grateful if anyone knows any information (ie baptisms, marriages and deaths etc while in Ireland) about Patrick his wife, James, Laughlin and any other siblings they had.

Thank you in advance
