Thanks a mill Valda. I'd almost given up on finding anything. Don't know how I missed the records you found. Guess sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees and need some time out!!!
Good luck with your researches  :)

Galway / Fallons/Blakes in Galway
« on: Wednesday 01 March 06 00:18 GMT (UK)  »
Is there anyone out there researching these families?? My gt gt grandfather was called Thomas Fallon (born about 1830) and he married a Mary Blake (born about 1840). They emigrated to England in the 1860's I think. Unfortunately, the census records only detail their place of birth as Ireland so I'm not sure their birth county was Galway. However, I've checked some sites and it would appear that the largest concentration of Fallon and Blakes in the mid 1800's was in Galway. I'd love to hear from anyone who is looking at Fallon or Blake family history.
Thanks :)

Thanks for the reply Joe. I'm really hitting a brick wall with mother Mary and daughter Ellen. I'm beginning to think they moved back to Ireland for some reason or just moved out of the area.  :-\ I found the "young" Mary" on the census you suggested so I guess I should check how many other Mary Fallons were born about 1870 to see if this one could be mine. It really is a puzzle and very frustrating  >:(  Guess I should check the occurrences of immigrants from Ireland going back home.

Staffordshire / Roman Catholic Chapels - Tunstall/Kidsgrove Area
« on: Wednesday 22 February 06 14:16 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to trace R.C. chapels that were in existence in the 1860's around Tunstall/Kidsgrove then I can find their parish records. I have found information in a book entitled "The Victorian History of the County of Stafford Vol VIII" which mentions the Tunstall Mission. The mission was founded in 1853; it started with a school and chapel on Plex St, Tunstall and was dedicated to St. Mary. A new church was built in 1869 on Sun St (now St. Aidan's St), Tunstall which remained in use till 1930 whereupon it was sold and became a garage. It is still there today and is called Chapel Garage. There was also another chapel, situated in John St (now Brakespeare St), Goldenhill which opened in 1871 and there is a much older church at Cobridge.
Is there anyone out there with any information or photos regarding the Plex St/Sun St/John St chapels or is aware of any chapels that I might have overlooked???? Thanks

« on: Friday 10 February 06 13:05 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to find out where in Kidsgrove Palin's Building were located. It was standing in 1867. Anyone out there know which street they were on? And was it just there for people to live in or did it have some other purpose?
Thanks

Staffordshire / Fallon's in Kidsgrove
« on: Friday 10 February 06 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
Is there anyone out there that has any information regarding a Thomas and Mary (nee Blake) Fallon. They lived in Kidsgrove in the 1860's. Both came from Ireland. They had 3 children, Ellen born in Goldenhill in1864, Patrick born in 1867 in Kidsgrove and Mary born in Kidsgrove in 1870. They lived at Cooper St in 1871 and then at Napier St in 1881. Thomas died in 1884 and is buried in Tunstall Cemetery. Patrick then moved to Lancashire and reached the ripe old age of 86. However, the whereabouts of Thomas' wife Mary and his 2 daughters is a mystery. He claimed in 1881 that he was a widower living only with his son but I have been unable to find any evidence of a death registration(s) or any other whereabouts. Hope there's someone out there with some info. Thanks
