Carlow / Re: ancestor julia whiston

Hello Sinan,

thank-you for your reply and links x 2 re information about the marriage and death of Mary Whiston - maiden name Gaskin, I have both of those civil certificates.  I have not been able to find out if the 'Julia' I seek is in any way related to the above lady's husband, John. So far, unable to find any specific info about said JW, such as birth, marriage record, and, although I have a tomb inscription of when she died, there doesn't appear to be any recording for her death in the civil records, although her death occurred  about 6 - 7 years following the introduction of the civil registration of BMD's.
Regards,

Hello Jack2227,
Having just rejoined R/C.com and seeing the information you have posted - I don't recognise some of the names thus far, but will now conduct a bit more research into those Gaskin folk.
Many thanks for the info - regards, O/N.

Hello Anna Brennan,
I have just rejoined R/C.com and don't believe I have contacted you before now - apologies if I have - senility sets in!
I am most interested to share information with you - I have finished my genealogy project and it's going to print - but I am still stuck on a few points.
Would love to hear from you - regards, O/N

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Completed The Sorrowful Hearts of Jesus & Mary, Kensington - any information?

No problem. I posted the two items because I had spelled 'Dolours' incorrectly - Its actually the The Church of Our Lady of Seven Dolours and St Mary's Priory' of 264 Fulham Road.
Regards.

To whom it may concern.

Hello,
My mother's name was Margaret, she was the third born - of six - to Thomas Gaskin and Mary Byrne of Leagh. I know about the grave at the Barrow track - but so far have not found any record of Julia's death apart from what it says on the tomb.
I don't live in Ireland - but have visited Old Graves in Carlow and also at Killeshin - that was a few years back.
Regards, o/n.

Hello bettyryan - I believe we are cousins! Your mother was called 'Bid' I recall and she was my mother's first cousin, your mother's father, Edward and my mother's father,Thomas, were brothers. I have written-up a very large Gaskin history project and am in the process of finalizing it. I believe I said that one of your brothers could have a copy.
The person I have no history of is Julia Whiston, married to John Gaskin. I have John's death certificate but not Julia's, although she is said to have died circa 1870. I have found-out so much of what I was told is not strictly true - memories and word of mouth can be unreliable - although family lore is relatively easy to unravel when you know how. At the start of this project, I knew 'nowt'!
Regards, old nick.

Hello again dcodriscoll - I received your most interesting post just now. I have researched the Gaskin (Gason) Lyon line and seem to have the same info as yourself. But I have not  been able to find any link of John Gaskin to Springfield and have no idea as to how he and Julia came to Cappalug. However I do have info re their decendents.

I have heard of one Pat Gaskin, a baker, through someone who was conducting a search into his lineage - but have not found him, only a Pat Gaskin from, I believe, Athy, near to Killeshin.

Mary Elizabeth Gaskin is indeed a sister of Eliza and therefore daughter to John and Julia. Phew!! The details you have given re their marriage etc, is correct.

If and when you are able to reply more - I may be able to help you a little with info. By the way - I have emailed a person in the States, some time ago now, her husband was of the Eliza Gason and Michael Lyons line. Do you know of this branch of the Lyons family.

Regards O/N
