Australia / Re: JOHN McGUIRE 1825-1915
« on: Friday 17 January 20 04:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am a descendant of the McGUIREs, John's brother Thomas MAGUIRE was my 3rd great grandfather. Thomas died at John's shooting range in Germantown (now Holbrook) outside Albury in 1883. This, amongst other things, is mentioned in John's memoirs, 'Old Colonial Days'.
Would love to be in contact with other descendants and share information.
Thanks,
Claire

Down / WHELAN and the Duke of Manchester
« on: Saturday 21 July 18 04:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello,
We have a bit of a mystery and brick wall and are hoping someone can help us.
Our ancestor, William WHELAN, is stated as being an "Inspector on the Duke of Manchester's Estates" in 1847 when he was a witness in court proceedings in Newry. At the time he stated he lived in Corrinshega, Killevy.
At his son's, William WHELAN's, marriage in 1852 to Mary BLACKHAM in Newry, his occupation is listed as an 'Inspector'.
So we are guessing that he worked on the Duke of Manchester's estates from at least 1847-1852. We are guessing this to be the Tandragee Castle Estates.
How would I find information on William WHELAN or the Duke of Manchester's Estates? Are there any other records which can be searched online for Newry?
We live in Australia. :)

Yes, it was Kinnoull Hill but I am sure yesterday I saw a Barnhill nearby. There is a creek/river tributary downstream called Deuchny Burn. Don't know if that is linked.
Thanks again Annie. You're really good at this.

That looks to be this in modern times.
Yesterday I found a Burnhill/Barnhill in Perth as well.
It was a tall hill with a ruined tower on it. But now I can't find it. :(
Thanks for the map it is amazing.

I'm unable to find a place near Bridgend in Perth named Ferry although it may have existed but now named something else.

Where was the Baptismal doc. from, which church?

I couldn't see an entry on SP hence my question.

Annie

Hi Annie,
My cousin found the record in The National Records Office so I don't know a lot about it. We tried reading it ourselves and were having no luck and a Facebook group suggested posting it here.
I only know from the first translator that it said Barnhill Bridgend and I found a Barnhill in Perth. The family we are looking for is SANDS and by the time we know them (in the 1700s) they have land at the Port of Menteith.
Attached is the top of the record which is the only other information I have.
Hope that helps.
Claire

This is like drawing teeth, try telling folk everything known/suspected, when posting!

Skoosh.

Pardon Skoosh? I'm posting all information I have. More information is coming out by the hour so add it. Apologies if this isn't enough for you. Thanks for your worthwhile contribution anyway.

Which parish is this?

The child's name is indeed hidden in the dark part of the page and "ane" is = "a". The word after "gatherit unto ye" is probably "puir" or a version of it - i.e. the poor who would eventually receive the collection.

The witnesses seem to be "in ye Ferry". If we knew the parish, it might suggest a possible location.

Hi there,
Thank you for the further translation/reading.
We believe the record to be from Perth.

Just wondering if this was Bridgend (Perth) by any chance?

Annie

Yes, we believe it to be Perth.
