Thank you Sarah, that would be marvellous thank you. Our first grandchild is to be born soon so I am back to updating and tweaking the genealogy trail so I would be very grateful for your help to merge or blend the accounts.  :)

Hello. I have just registered with Rootschat and read your message from 2016. Its been ten years since I used Feliscatus UserID and sadly my memory has faded along with the email & password I registered. I couldn't find where to contact someone and ask how to register my new email and password so I started an entirely new account with Rootschat. So I hope you sign in at some time as I can see your reference to Charles Debden and Maria Swords is my husbands Gt Grandfather.

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / Re: John CANNELL & two wives
« on: Saturday 26 March 11 11:32 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for that, the "recollections" I was given also mention printing etc. I guess John must have had cousins at IOM, for him to be there for such a short spell. I know very little of the place, or work took him there. If I track his father's movements more it may reveal why John went to IOM in the first place. What drew people there in those times I wonder.

Just read your next message, thank you for that again. Jane Cannell married into the Beckett family and Hulme turns up several times. How sad for John to die so young if that is him, his first wife also died young.

Isle of Man Lookup Requests / John CANNELL & two wives
« on: Saturday 26 March 11 10:19 GMT (UK)  »
Tracking movements & information about my gt gt grandfather on paternal side of family. He disappeared off the census radar & I found it was because after his first wife [Rosannah LORAN] died in 1846 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, he appeared in the Isle of Man census 1881 living at "Sea Peep Cottage" with a new wife Sarah Ann WOOD [from St Johns Wood London]. Which explained the disappearance from England records.

They must have lived in IOM a while because one of John's children, Jane CANNELL b 1873, later recalled to her children,  memories of living there with her "step-mother".  I duly looked up IOM, not knowing anything about the place, only to find it appears as if half the population were named CANNELL. John CANNELL was born in Liverpool to William CANNELL [born 1811] and his mother was Eliza GALLEDGE [1824] born in Ireland. I dont think it is a coincidence that John Cannell went to IOM with his children & new wife, but the forenames are quite common there so I would like some advice on trying to get more focus.
 John may have been a librarian [part time] or teacher. I dont know if he or Sarah are buried there.

Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / Re: Brumby/Ellis PR lookup please

Just caught up with your edit TRISH. The Timothy DONOVAN I referred to married Alice Maud BRUMBY, and then they had a child Mary Ellen, who in turn married an EVERITT and had a daughter Margaret Gracie. Timothy & Alice were married the same month Mary Ellen was born.  Does this help? I really couldnt say if Thomas went by Timothy [name wise].

Cork / Re: Place name identification Co Cork

Thank you for that. Ive searched a directory for Kilcrohane and Donovan's and Daly turned up so it could lead to something far more substantial than the zero progress I had when I couldnt fathom the name.

Sorry Trish1120, while I was printing I just realised you had added a comment about my Timothy DONOVAN. Timothy is shown on his marriage certificate to Alice Maud BRUMBY as being 27 years old in 1884 which puts him born 1857. His father is listed on M cert as Thomas DONOVAN, mother as Ellen DONOVAN [nee Daley]. And I have had great news which I was ferretting around in Ireland's pages, that the horrendous handwriting for Timothy's placename of birth was Kilcrohane, County Cork. Timothy's occupation on m. cert is "miner".

Well done all of you. Its no wonder I couldnt find John & Martha, marrying in Yorkshire - I hovered around Hatton too long! I didnt have a clue when to pin down an arrival date in NZ and trawling through all the shipping lists on the numerous sites was not my ideal way of finding them. So thank you all so very very much. You have all opened up more avenues for me.  Its been a pleasant & welcome distraction from the sadness we are experiencing with the news of the earthquake.

Cork / Place name identification Co Cork
« on: Friday 25 February 11 07:36 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to identify a place name in County Cork, Ireland. It is the birthplace of Timothy DONOVAN son of Thomas DONOVAN & Ellen DONOVAN [nee Daley]. The place name is on the birth cert (New Zealand) of timothy's daughter in 1884 Mary Ellen. Mother's name is Alice Maud BRUMBY of Hatton England. Given the number of Timothy's and Thomas' in Cork, Im not having much luck tracing him or his parents so I hope I can find someone who may recognise the place name in Cork. So far Ive had people interpret it as starting with the letter "Y", "L" or "V" or even "W" or "K" ending in "have" or Hane" or "Hart".
