Family History Beginners Board / Re: Scotsman moving to Ireland in 1800s
« on: Wednesday 18 July 18 15:57 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to all for your prompt responses. 
Based on your responses, my guess is that George and his family traveled to Newry and claimed to be Irish to avail of the cheaper passage.  With 12 children, I would have done the same. :D

Family History Beginners Board / Scotsman moving to Ireland in 1800s
« on: Tuesday 17 July 18 00:19 BST (UK)  »
I have found a relative who supposedly was born in  City of Edinburgh on May 4, 1798.  How accurate can this information be ?  Are there records for that time period  ?

This person appears on the 1850 census for Saratoga Co NY, but states that he and his family were all born in Ireland.  Is it possible that he came to Ireland to board a ship to the US, from Newry, perhaps ??  There's a George listed as arriving on a ship called "Brothers", occupation is listed as Smith (Blacksmith ) ?  Arrived in NY May 31 1849.


 Its also possible that he bought land in Ireland and left from there, on a ship called Brothers?

Any information regarding Scottish or Irish census for 1800s would be greatly appreciated.

Mayo / Re: how to view civil records
« on: Monday 21 March 16 07:02 GMT (UK)  »
I have checked the available church records for this period on "registers.nli.ie ' and was unable to find an entry for the marriage mentioned in the civil record..............partly because the parish records are handwritten and very hard to decipher, and also, what I really was hoping to find out, is where can I view a more detailed account of the civil record. Is there a physical ledger somewhere that I can open to page 195 and find out more ?  There is no page 195 in the church register.
I would try to order a copy from the GRO, if I was sure this record is of my ancestor.

Again, thanks to all who have assisted me so far.

Hi.
Thanks to all who responded to my inquiry re the absence of village names from the Galway area. I believe I found the link on the Forum page under ........http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php#c3
I'm still figuring out how to navigate these pages, so please bear with me.
Thank you.

Mayo / Heaney misspelled as Henne in church records?
« on: Monday 14 March 16 17:04 GMT (UK)  »
Is it possible that the surname Heaney was misspelled as Henne in church records. Perhaps the registrar spelled it phonetically.  (i remember my folks using this Pronunciation. but I always assumed they meant Heaney)
I  don't associate the name Henne with Ireland at all. I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks.

Galway / why no info on Cregmore/Carnmore/Lackagh ?
« on: Monday 14 March 16 16:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
The list of towns under Co Galway, seems to exclude the Cregmore/Carnmore /Lackagh area.  Are they combined under one of the other towns that are listed ?

Mayo / how to view civil records
« on: Monday 14 March 16 16:03 GMT (UK)  »
I have found entries (index #'s  ? )in the Irish civil records website that I want to view eg 

SR District/Reg Area : Claremorris,
 Returns Year   1864
Returns Quarter   1
Returns Volume No   4
Returns Page No      195

Where do I go to view these ? Are they on a website, or would I have to physically go there to view them?

All information is appreciated.

Thanks,
sarah

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up requested for KEARNS in Manchester c 1885
« on: Wednesday 21 August 13 03:54 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Radcliff, but I'm thinking that since  this Marion was 40 in 1855, she could not realistically have a son Willie in 1883.
Heywood, I am bowled over by the willingness of your members to spend their time researching this family.
At this time I don't think Marion's death certificate would provide any helpful info, since we are not totally sure if she is the mother. I think I need to find Willie's birth certificate, but I'm not sure how.............  Radcliff posted:
 William H Kearns
birth registered Hulme Manchester 1883
reference,HUL/240/40...........but where do I order a copy from ?
 Is Hulme a suburb of Manchester ?
I am totally overwhelmed by the amount of documentation that exists and all the different websites and passwords required........... :-[

Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up requested for KEARNS in Manchester c 1885
« on: Monday 19 August 13 22:44 BST (UK)  »
Thanks to all for your very prompt replies.  I'm thinking that the entry in 1881 posted by Jool is the most likely candidate.
The marriage date posted by Fairlane sounds likely as does the entry for Willie posted by Radcliff. 
 Thanks to mosiefish also, but I don't think that sounds like my relatives.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned a flu or other epidemic in the area in the late 1880's. Am I misinformed about that possibility?

Next step would be, where do i look to find possible death certificates for James and Marion.

Again, my thanks to all for your quick responses.
Sarah
