Hi,
I am researching the MUNNELLY family of CROSSMOLINA. I have found them in the 1901 and 1911 census but would be extremely grateful for any further information you or anyone else may be able to provide. Details are:
JOHN MUNNELLY born abt 1866 in CROSSMOLINA married BRIDGET McNULTY born abt 1867 in CROSSMOLINA. They married abt 1889 in CROSSMOLINA. JOHN MUNNELLY was a TAILOR. I think that the parents of BRIDGET McNULTY were JOHN McNULTY and MARY?

The children of JOHN MUNNELLY and  BRIDGET McNULTY were:
Munnelly   John born abt 1891 in CROSSMOLINA.      
Munnelly   Thomas born abt 1893 in CROSSMOLINA.
Munnelly   William born abt 1894 in CROSSMOLINA.   
Munnelly   James born abt 1896 in CROSSMOLINA.   
Munnelly   Mary Ellen born abt 1898 in CROSSMOLINA.

At some time prior to 11th September 1920 the eldest child John Munnelly (or possibly the whole family) moves to England and John Munnelly marries Ada Jane Evans in Gateshead.

I would really appreciate any information on any of the individuals mentioned above.

Thank you,

Ian Royal

Hi Omega,

Thank you so much for this information. I am assuming that the baptism information is from the Parish records for Lewes and that is where the occupation for the father William comes from. Can you confirm this?

It also appears that Ciderdrinker has found some very interesting information for me and a big thank you goes out to you too.
It certainly is the correct family as daughter Sarah (Ann) Holmes does indeed marry John Airey in Kendal in 1846. I did have the 1851 census information as well as the 1841 census for the family. However the information regarding the death of Catherine Holmes comes as an extra!
Where did you find the information regarding William being a  Royal chelsea Hospital pensioner who served in the Ist foot Guards.20.6.1827 he got a pension for long service of 27 1/2years.He had been a weaver and served in Canada? It all fits in well with the information from Omega but I do like to record the source of all information if possible.

The marriage of William Holmes to Catherine Jackson in Appleby Westmoreland on 11.04.1820 does seem to fit location and time wise but I am not convinced until I can find another link through the maiden name of Jackson to William Holmes.

Again a very big thank you to you both and could you please provide your sources if possible.

Cheers,

Royaly

Hi,

I have a lot of information relating to Brandon: Census returns 1841 all the way to 1901 and Parish records on Microfiche (some have been transcribed into Excel documents). Obviously a lot on the Royals as well.
John and Jane did have a lot of children but what does not help us is the fact that they had some of them baptised twice! I hunted for ages looking for deaths and burials of some of the children as later ones appeared to be born and given the same names. Only to discover that as far as I can tell from all of the records they had the following children:
Mary Ann Royal Abt. June 13, 1847 (Baptism) and (1851 Census) (1861)
Thomas Royal Abt. March 22, 1848 (Baptism) and (1851 Census)(1861)
John Royal Abt. 1850 (Free BMD) and (1851 Census)(1861)
James Royal Abt. February 22, 1852 (Baptism) also (Abt. October 2, 1853)(1861 census)
Emma Royal Abt. May 22, 1855 (Baptism) also (Abt. January 6, 1856)(1861 census)
Isaac Royal Abt. March 8, 1857 (Baptism)also (Abt. December 28, 1862)(1861 census)
Jane Royal Abt. March 6, 1859 (Baptism)
William Royal (1861 census aged 2 years)
Ellen Royal Abt. December 28, 1862 (Baptism)(1861 census aged 2 months)
Harry Royal Abt. December 28, 1862 (Baptism)
George Royal Abt. April 26, 1866 (Baptism)

Is there anyway that we can exchange email addresses and I can send you information direct?

Do you have any information on any other Weeting Royals?

Cheers,

Ian

Hi,

My family of Royals come from the Brandon and Weeting areas and I have quite a lot of information on them if you are interested. I am sure that we are connected. We may be able to assist each other.

Cheers,
