Kilkenny / Callan Workhouse
« on: Monday 22 February 21 20:32 GMT (UK)  »
I have found a record of a death in the workhouse in 1916 which could be a relative.  The death was registered by an official so there are no family members named although it says he was married.  Are there any workhouse records available?  How could I identify him?

Does anyone know if this will be released early?

The Common Room / Buried in non-consecrated ground
« on: Monday 26 October 15 20:29 GMT (UK)  »
I know of 5/6 graves which are just outside the cemetery walls.  I came across one about 20 years ago and the others have appeared since.  They are possibly infants.  Why would they be there?

Monmouthshire / Risca Parish Record
« on: Friday 19 June 15 20:33 BST (UK)  »
From the Family.Search site I have found that the person I am researching was baptised in Risca on 1-8-86.

How do I find the name of the church?

Cork / The Alfred Roberts mystery!
« on: Thursday 04 March 10 19:31 GMT (UK)  »
"Alfred Roberts" is my grandfather.  He married my granny in 1904, had at least three children, then left her and according to family rumour returned to Cork.

From the marriage certificate he was born c1870 and his father was Charles Roberts, a shutter maker.  He married in Worcestershire, then worked in Herefordshire, before settling (for a while) in Newport, South Wales.

By this time he and the rest of family were using another surname (his wife's previous name) and the name 'Roberts' was never used in Newport (to this day!).

The only census that he appears on is the 1911 in Newport (with his assumed name) and this gives his place of birth as 'Ireland'.

He had several jobs but in Newport was a 'bridge painter' and 'ship painter' and I believe he started his own painting firm.

I would be grateful for any information about what happened to Alfred after about 1912.

Kilkenny / Roche family of Ballyhale, Ballyconway
« on: Friday 07 August 09 21:05 BST (UK)  »
After searching for the birth details of my wife's father for years (birth not registered) we eventually got the details of him and ten siblings from a lovely lady in the parish office of Thomastown Church.

We would now like to find their birthplace and visit if it is still there.  Stories passed down say that they lived on a farm in Ballyhale and after grandfather Edward died it might have passed to Patrick.

Edward lived there from about 1900-1920 ish and then possibly Patrick.

The 1911 census might help when available.

But until then, any idea where I should look?  Are there land records on line?

The Common Room / Lamphier Family Website
« on: Sunday 31 May 09 14:39 BST (UK)  »
A couple of years ago I came across this site while researching my wife's ancestors.  It had lots of information about Lamphiers mainly in Ireland but lots in UK.  It seems that they were originally Hugenots and many settled in Ireland.

I now have a new laptop after my old one packed up and I just can't find the site.

Herefordshire / Hennor Estate, near Leominster
« on: Sunday 20 April 08 19:07 BST (UK)  »
I recently discovered that one of my ancestors lived/worked on the estate.

I know that it's near Leominster but I can't find it on any map.

Any help would be appreciated

Is it possible to get this information for the 1940s and 50s?

Is it available on line?
