Australia / Michael J O'Hanlon - prison
« on: Tuesday 26 April 22 05:40 BST (UK) »
I have found a record -
Walter or Michael Joseph O'Hanlon or McHugh
Imprisoned 1898 NSW
Arrival date 1894
Birth date 1871 Ireland
Prison name Goulburn
Ship name Oriezaba
Can anyone tell me if these are one and the same person and what crime and sentence he might have received, please?
Did the Oriezaba call at NZ on the way to NSW?
Thank you

New Zealand Completed Requests / Kent/Sgt Matson Hawkes -
« on: Monday 25 April 22 07:03 BST (UK) »
I cannot locate Support at the foot of the Home Page. Perhaps someone on forum can help me, please?
On reactivating research on a member of my family (Michael Hanlon) yesterday I discover in my messages one I had missed before - concerning Sgt Hawkes who belongs to a friend's family Tree. I did extensive research on the Hawkes branch of his family and finally closed off and printed my results in a book 2013. This message was from Matson Hawkes great great grand daughter, in NZ dated 2015. She requested more information..... which of course she did not receive.
That was 7 years ago and I note she only listed one message and I dare say the quick reply I have sent off might no be received. Maybe she has given up?
Is there any way I can make contact with her other than through messaging on the Forum?
It is such a pity as I do have a wealth of information for her. (username STANGERM)
Thank you

United States of America / Re: Michael Hanlon NZ to US?
« on: Monday 25 April 22 06:43 BST (UK) »
Thank you for your reply and interest. Yes that is the naturalization I have. The Aunt mentioned as being in Phila is a mystery of sorts altho members of his mother's family left Ireland and were working in the cotton mills of Massachusetts. He arrived in SF 1900 and was naturalized in 1904 so there was no rush on his part to get over to the East Coast, it seems.
The Boston ref might be a red herring as the records for this gentlemen, from memory, list siblings with him. They were all back in New Zealand.
I might add his birth date was 13, May (1871) and the place was Gowran which is just outside Kilkenny Town, Kilkenny.
Regards......

United States of America / Michael Hanlon NZ to US?
« on: Monday 25 April 22 01:51 BST (UK) »
Michael Hanlon ( alternative name O'Hanlon) born 1871. Emigrated from Kilkenny in Ireland to New Zealand on the 'Howrah" in 1875. I have been trying to discover what happened to Michael for a while now. Among a family members papers (his sister Bridget) was found a letter from a JM Hanlon, San Francisco in 1903. A Michael Hanlon (born Ireland 1871) immigrated to SF on the SS Mariposa (via Sydney) in 1900. Further, a Michael J Hanlon was naturalized in SF in 1904. He lost touch with his NZ family.
After that he disappeared. There have been one or two hopeful records but these have had to be eliminated.
The Rootschat Community, in the past, have been a huge help to me in my family research and that of others and I am wondering, after so many years have passed, there might be additional records in the States which might throw so light as to what eventually happened to him?
Thank you.

United States of America / Joseph McClure - Glispin
« on: Sunday 12 February 17 01:41 GMT (UK) »
The past week I have had some great help on a few brick wallers........... this outstanding one is a very stubborn one which I have not be able to solve for several years ... can anyone help, please?
The Glispins farmed in Riverdale Township, Minnesota. In the 1880 Fed Census there is an unmarried son called Michael J Glispin (head). In the household there is his mother Anna and a boy named Joseph McClure from Tennessee aged 10 years. The Census reads he is the adopted son, I imagine, of Michael J Glispin.
In 1883 Michael J was taken back to his roots in Massachusetts to die, by his mother. Joseph McClure went to live with Michael's sister Jennie (Jane) Amell in the nearby farming township of Feildon. He would have been 15 years, as found in the 1885 State Census.
From this point Joseph McClure (- Glispin) seems to disappear.
The Amells moved to Spokane in 1888 and Joseph appears not to have gone with them
This is a difficult request but I wonder if anyone can trace the future life of Joseph for me?
As he came from Tennessee to the Glispins farm I have not been able to find a link between his family (McClures) and the Glispins.
Thank your consideration of my request.

United States of America / Re: A brick wall .... as usual!
« on: Friday 10 February 17 10:02 GMT (UK) »
Ka pai and whakawhetai koe....!
I am a kiwi also, living on Bribie Island Qld.
My great grandmother was a Glispin/Gleespen/Glespen depending on which official document you are reading. She lived in Whanganui and having married an O'Hanlon immigrated to there and had a very hard existence... harsher than if they remained in Ireland, is my thinking.
I have extensively research (and self published) her connection to her family in the United States.
Our friend "EF" was a recent revelation .... a dead end, it seems.
