Hi

I have established that one of my relatives married in UK a female with surname Moudouridou (most likely a Greek surname)  in 1948.
There are records for their children but that's were the trail currently ends.

I have no contact with the other part of the family relations as yet, still searching for them but wondered if anyone has any further info on the Greek surname.

The name appears no where on the web that I can see and although I don't really expect to be doing any searches in Greece I just wondered if there was any info from those of you on here.

Appreciate that due to the year of their marriage and the relatives birth year there is a chance they may still be living so please PM me if you have any specific info (as per rules on rootschat)
but any general info on surname etc. please post here

thanks homer

Hi

It's a year since I was last on here and during that time have managed to find and meet with 3 related cousins and had contact with other relatives as part of my family research and some of the great info gathered from this forum.

Furthering my research I am trying to find the birth / baptism records for the children of John and Anastasia French from Wexford (my grandparents)
Specifically my father's twin who died not long after birth.

I already have details of John and Anastasia marriage births etc. (care of 'Shorts' posts on here) on my previous post 'looking for family, surname French or Hayden'


details I have so far:

Anastasia Hayden married John French on 2 February 1908 per the Rowe St church parish register.

I have established that my father had a twin although she died not long after birth so I am interested in find anything in church records on this.
my father was Thomas French born 30/08/1924 Wexford
as his mother and father marriage entry is in Rowe St church register (as above) I assume their children would also be in that register.
I have been told by another relative that she remembers seeing the entry in a church record in Wexford showing my father's and twins birth some years ago when they visited Wexford.

I know they had the following children (not necessarily in birth order) so looking for dates from 1908 onwards for births with surname French and mothers maiden name Hayden.

Thomas born 30/08/1924 plus twin girl who died not long after birth
(so also looking for register of death possibly up to a year later)

Ronald born 08/04/1928
Kath (could be Katherine)
May
John
Peter George
Mary Ann
Ellen (died aged approx 2 years)
Mary Theresa
Anastasia

Hi

Wondered if anyone in the Canada forum could assist please.

One of my relatives, surname probably Owens married a Cicely Anne Hinchey in Glace Bay, Cape Breton on 16 July 1914.
The piece of paper I have found this information on is not complete so I am missing the name of which member of the family it was :-(
It is possible that it was a William Owens (Owen) born 11 April 1892

I will start looking for information to see if William or who in the familly may have travelled to Canada from Birkenhead North West United Kingdom but in the mean time I wondered if there is anything that can be searched for marriages occuring in Glace Bay (which seems to have only had a population of around 16,500 - 17,000 between 1911 and 1921) so I expect one of the extra 500 people would have been one of my relatives :-)

I am not sure if this sort of detailed marriage information is available at all or even on line for Glace Bay.

looking forward to any info, clues, or guides you may be able to find for me.

thanks

hi

having had a great response on recent posts on the wexford topics, I am looking for guidance on following up further research into occupations identified on the census records. I realise some occupations may be easier to follow than others so looking at those which where farmers and blacksmiths and shoemakers.

I have relatives identified as

master farmer in wexford 1901 census
district: kilpatrick
townland: kereight lowes (lower)
parish: tikillin
barony: shilmalier east (not quite sure on spelling from census record but think it should be Shelmalier)
all taken from census record detailing farmsteading etc. with 9 buildings identified including barn potatioe house etc.

upate 1 - i have noticed that kereight comes up in the middle of a field in google maps and there is a large farm not too far away north east of the middle of the field.
not sure what sort of area Shelmalier east would cover though.

blacksmith wexford 1901 census living in fishers row
shoemaker wexford 1901 census living in fishers row
