Thanks Dathai, that's fast work.
I'm guessing the sponsor Annie Lawless is maybe another sister.

Dublin / James Young & Mary Lawless
« on: Wednesday 03 August 16 20:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks info I have is James Young born 29/09/1875 Co Laois married Mary Lawless on 22 September 1901 in St Catherine's Church, Dublin. I have copy of marriage certificate showing he was a labourer living at 9 Rainsfort Avenue and she was living at 17 St Augustine Place. James Young's father was Patrick, a farmer and Mary's father was Michael, a labourer. The sponsors were Joseph Brophy and Annie Lawless. James and Mary had 3 children; Hannah Mary born 1901/1902, Patrick Joseph born 1903/1904 and Mary Christina born 1908. Prior to their marriage James had connections to Bonnington Lodge (I think Raheny) and Mary was connected to Santry Hall Lodge (I think this was their places of employment). In the 1911 census they were living in Santry.  I would appreciate any information on Mary's dob and place of birth, any death records for James or Mary and any information on any of the children or any other Lawless relations. I have information on James Young's parents and siblings. Many thanks in anticipation.

Ireland / Re: Location of extant VESTRY books - how do I locate them.

Suggest you try Representative Church Body in Dublin. They keep all records for C/I parishes. Have found them most helpful in the past. I don't have phone number to hand but try ringing/email with your query (Google RCB)


Best of luck.

Cork / Re: Military burial 1908 - looking for info re Cork area forts
« on: Sunday 30 August 15 17:44 BST (UK)  »
Spoke to volunteers in Camden Fort Meagher. Advised no military graveyards in Cork Harbour area but CWG headstones in a number of local graveyards. Usually soldier would be buried in local graveyard by his unit as it would cost family considerable amount to have remains returned to homeplace for burial. Family may have attended burial (depends on family circumstances and where they live etc) Nearest graveyard is Templebreedy so I drove over the road to there and had a look. Graveyard is old with a lot of old headstones with undecipherable inscriptions. Found a grave for Srgt Major Morgan R.E. died 29 September 1908. Is this your relative? The inscription is roughly as follows: In memory of Srgt Major Morgan R.E. (next couple of words unreadable) Crosshaven. 29th September 1908. Rest unreadable.

Have taken some photos just to show there is a headstone and it's location in relation to ruins of church but inscription will be unreadable.

Hope this is of benefit to you. :)

Hi

Thanks for that speedy reply. I don't think this is the right one because why would they go to Dublin and get married 10 years after the birth of their first child. Also, considering traditional family naming patterns there is no child called Thomas, although they do have a John. I might be able to get more information from your link though.
