Wexford / Notes on Wexford marriage records

« on: Wednesday 28 February 07 20:29 GMT (UK) »

Hello all

I have received a scan of a marriage record. At the end of the record it says " by dispensation in time " or something like that as the end of the scan is quite dark. Could anyone be able to tell me what this means and if Latin was used on marriage records ?
Many thanks

Hi all.
I am wondering if any of you Quinns out there have a Martin Quinn in your family....not any Martin Quinn but this one

Martin Quinn who was born in Ireland, Place not known yet. He moved to Liverpool where he married a Catherine Toole in 1876 at St Bridgets Church and had a son named Thomas in 1880, who married a Bridget Parle in 1906, Liverpool. They had a son called Martin in 1906, who joined the Merchant Navy in 1915. He married Mary Reigh in 1932. After her death in the late 30's he then married Josephine Elsie Bristow in 1940. He then married Ada Alice Purslow in 1960 after the death of Josephine in 1956-ish. Martin Quinn, my Grandad, then died in 1968.
If anyone has any of the above in there Family Tree please get in touch, maybe we can help eachother get further in our searches.
I know its a long shot but in this game you just never know..............................

Thanks all and best wishes

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Liverpool Records Office.....

« on: Sunday 28 January 07 14:03 GMT (UK) »

Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone will be going to the Liverpool Records Office at any time in the near future ?
If so would that kind soul possibly look something up for me.

My GG Grandad, Martin Quinn, was married to Catherine Toole in 1876 at St Bridget's Church Liverpool.
He was aged 24 years and I know was born in Ireland. The marriage cert does not state where he was born.
I know that the records office hold the parish register for this church, which was demolished in 1967 I believe.
I am hoping that the register will also state where Martin Quinn was born, which county in Ireland, which would clear the "brickwall" that I am facing.

Many many thanks and best wishes to you all

Wales / Caerphilly burials....

« on: Sunday 21 January 07 22:06 GMT (UK) »

Hello all,

I am doing a favour for a friend of mine and wonder if anyone could help ?

He has relatives who he believes come from Caerphilly. The family name is Lewis.
He has been informed that his GGrandma was possibly married to a German Army Officer, pre WW1, who is, he believes, buried in or around Caerphilly and has been told that there is a plaque of some sort naming this Gentleman.
Could any of you kind people be able to point me in the right direction so I can help solve this problem
Many thanks

Wexford / Wexford Seamen...

« on: Thursday 11 January 07 14:59 GMT (UK) »

Hello all,
I am looking for details of 2 individuals who could be my ancestors.

1. Captain John Reigh, born about 1777. Died 1833 aged 56, buried in St Magdalen's cemetery, Maudlintown.

2. Henry Reigh, died 25 Sept 1824 aged 31 and is buried in the same grave.

With Reigh being an uncommon name it is likely that they belong to the Reighs that I am looking for.
Could anyone please tell me if there is any online resources I can get more details from about these potential ancestors ?
Many thanks for your help and best wishes to you all

Cardiganshire Lookup Requests / 1901 Lookup please

« on: Monday 02 October 06 15:37 BST (UK) »

Hello all

I am a bit stuck and am wondering if someone could help me out or give me directio.
My grandad, JOHN HENRY DAVIES was born in Cardiganshire ( not sure where though ).
On his marriage cert, 1924 it states that he is 27 years old, however on his Death cert 1968 it staes age at time of death 75 years old.
I know that both certs are correct and have had them comfirmed but the problem is that the ages and possible birth dates dont match.
I have been told by relatives that he did lie about his age at the start of WW1 so that he could get into the Army.
On his marriage cert it states that his Fathers name is Henry Davies. Another problem is that the name is spelt DAVIS, but it is DAVIES.

Bit of a dilemma wouldnt you aggree.

Many thanks for any help

Tony
