Devon / Howard's of Morchard Bishop
« on: Monday 28 January 19 23:19 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I'm looking into the Howard's of Morchard Bishop on behalf of a friend, who is descended from Philip Howard (baptised 1695) and his wife Mary Meadway. Philip and Mary were married 16 June 1719, and Philip's father was Henry Howard, according to his baptism record.

Many public member trees on ancestry.co.uk show that Philip and Henry are descended from the Duke's of Norfolk. However, I cannot find anything concrete to prove this just yet. According to these trees, Henry's parents were Eleanor Stanford and Francis Stafford Howard (son of William Howard, 1st Viscount Stafford who was married to Mary Stafford). However, Journals of the House of Lords (Volume 46) states that Henry, son of Francis and Eleanor, married Mary Berkeley and died in 1743 with no children.

Is anyone familiar with this family? Would appreciate any info on Henry's background.

Many thanks in advance

Derry (Londonderry) / Waterside McGettigan's/Kelly's/Doherty's
« on: Friday 07 September 18 18:35 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

Trying to trace my Donegal McGettigan cousins who moved to Derry in the early 1900s. Mary Anne Hegarty married Daniel McGettigan and had seven children between 1893 and 1907. Daniel died in 1914 in a railway accident at Magherabeg, and Mary Anne settled in Waterside after this with some of her children (living at 2 Moore Street).

One daughter, Annie McGettigan (born 1898) married Joseph Doherty (from Rossille Street) in 1924 at St. Columb's. He was a bar attendant.

Another daughter, Bridget Frances (born 1905) married Thomas Kelly (a storekeeper from Irish Street, Derry). This marriage was also at St. Columb's.

I'm trying to find if either couple had children and what became of their families. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ev, those were the right birth records and the correct marriage record too! Interestingly on the original marriage cert it says Mary, but for some reason this has been transcribed as Margaret.

Also found the birth record for Hugh Hegarty, the son of Peter and Mary. His full name was Patrick Hugh Haggarty but was known as Hugh.

Thanks again!

The address on the death cert is an old one. According to the electoral rolls she had moved by then to a different location.

Just ordered a report from 192.com and they state that they believe she may have passed away in 2017, although they also say that the ages/DOB do not strictly match. Also I cannot find a death record anywhere online.

Lanarkshire / Glasgow Haggarty/Hegarty Family
« on: Friday 07 September 18 14:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,

Trying to trace my Hegarty relations who left Donegal for Glasgow. Peter Hegarty (1871-1946) married Mary McGowan (1875-1942) in Donegal in 1892. They were in Scotland by the 1901 census (living at 66 Stewart Street) and according to the 1911 census (living at 81 Centre Street) they had three children: Hugh (b. abt 1908), and twins Catherine and Mary (b. abt 1910). The death records for Peter and Mary snr show that they eventually moved to 52 Seaward Street, and their surname was spelled as Haggarty when in Glasgow.

I'm struggling to trace what happened to the three children. I've used ScotlandsPeople to try and find birth/marriage records but with no luck. Peter's death record states that the informant was his daughter, Mary Madden, who resided at 6 Plantation Street. But I can find no record of her marriage to a Mr. Madden.

Would appreciate any help in locating birth, marriage and maybe even death records for Hugh, Catherine and Mary Haggarty.

Many thanks in advance,

Rohan

Thanks for your reply. I did try looking for an online phone book but had no luck. One of the people I am trying to trace does not appear in electoral rolls after 2013, not sure if this means that they might have passed away.

I did also try googling for deaths of the people I am trying to trace but no luck there either. Also tried to find an online Bangor forum (there is a Belfast one which people use to trace lost relations/friends etc) but couldn't find one.

Here is some background on my search for these people: My 2x great aunt Annie Josephine Chamberlain (nee Hegarty) died in 2000. I ordered her death cert and the informant is a niece of hers (her sisters daughter I believe, and therefore a first cousin of my late grandfather). It gives the niece's full name and her address at the time. I had been trying for a few years to trace this line of the family with no luck, until I found this niece on the electoral rolls. However I'm no closer to actually making contact with them without a phone number or some way to speak to them! Was hoping that by posting online someone currently in Bangor might be able to assist me. Although this is difficult as I cannot provide any names or other details as they might still be alive.

In the meantime I'll keep searching and see what I can find.

Down / Tracing Bangor Relations

Hello,

Trying to trace two relations who I believe might still be living in Bangor, according to recent electoral rolls. Would anyone know how I would be able to get in touch with them? The only info I have on them is their full names and the first part of their postcode.

Many thanks,

Rohan

Down / Byrne's and Hegarty's of Warrenpoint
« on: Sunday 12 August 18 15:44 BST (UK)  »
Trying to trace my 2x great aunt. She was Mary Kate Byrne nee Hegarty, married to Frank Byrne (ex R.I.C. Constable). They married in Donegal in 1918 but settled in Warrenpoint.

Also trying to find the death record for her father, William Hegarty. I've been told he moved to live with his daughter after his wife's death in 1950, but haven't been able to find out when and where he died.

Does this family sound familiar to anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Rohan

Thanks for the help guys. I forgot that some of my Hegarty's who emigrated to America or Scotland changed the spelling of their name to Haggarty. I'm sure that Peter who died in 1952 is my relation, the dates fit perfectly.
The only record I have of Mary's death is a Donegal newspaper notice, I've never actually seen her death record or certificate so not sure who registered the death. Found them in the 1901 census, haven't searched the 1911 one though.
They had no children to the best of my knowledge, so I wonder what became of Peter after his wife's death.
Thanks again for your help!

I don't think you can really be sure that's the correct Peter without looking at the death certificate and other documents. You need to register with Scotland's People (if you haven't done so already), purchase a few credits then probably start with the deaths for Peter and Mary and 1911 census.

Just signed up and took your advice, unfortunately the Peter who died in 1952 is not my relation. Can't seem to find the right one either. Found his wife's death record, he is the informant and was living at 52 Seaward Street in Glasgow. He worked as a contractor's carter. Shall have to keep digging to see what became of him.
