Hi Dave, thanks for contacting me. I guess we are cousins then  ;D. No wonder I've never found anything for William if he emigrated.
I've got your message on Ancestry so I'll email you a word doc with what I have for the family. I'll have a look at Facebook too.

Kind regards
Katy

Hello, thanks for contacting me. The Ravenhill's in my tree were originally from Herefordshire, Fownhope and Woolhope so halfway between Hereford and Ledbury. Thomas William Ravenhill 1872-1931 moved to Blaenavon c1890 to work in the Ironworks. All of his children were born there. The rest of the family remained in Herefordshire. I believe the name is a Herefordshire name of Norman origin.

Kind regards

Gloucestershire / Lishon Family
« on: Sunday 06 July 14 13:45 BST (UK)  »
Hello all, does anyone recognise the name Lishon? I have a Thomas Lishon born c1787 in Framilode, who moved to Blaenavon, Monmouthshire sometime between his birth and 1826 when his first child was born there. Its a strange one as some later generations spell the name as Leyshon, which is a much easier name to track. Just wondered if anyone has come across this name in this form as when I google it nothing really comes back. Thank you.

Kind regards
Katy

Hi Marie, it is a great help. Thank you. Do you know where Patrick Whelan and Anne Davis were born? If you send me back another message I can then send you a personal message with my email address, I've got a word document which I can send to you with all the info I have on the Flynn's. Speak soon.

Kind Regards
Katy  ;D

Hi Marie, apparently you can't get personal messages so if you mail me on * we can chat there.

Kind Regards
Katy

Hi Marie, thank you for contacting me. Its lovely to hear from someone with a connection to the Flynn's. I haven't had much luck on this side of the family. The Whelan's are all very new to me, I only found them a couple of months ago. I thought that I'd never find out anything about my Irish side as records are quite hard to come by. It would be lovely to hear about the details you have. I'll message you privately with my email address and then we can swap info. Thanks again for getting in touch!

Kind Regards
Katy

Hi everyone, I now have an update on my Flynn family so if anyone recognises any names or has a link then please reply.
The family lived in Currygrane, which is a hamlet just outside of Ballinalee. However, the family were originally from County Sligo later moving to County Cavan and then settling in Longford.
My gg Grandfather was Thomas Flynn 1855 born in Killeshandra, Cavan who married Catherine Whelan 1857 of Ballinalee. Their children were Mary Anne 1878, John (my g Grandfather) 1881, Thomas 1885, Patrick 1887, Bartholomew 1889, Elizabeth 1891, Charles 1893, Bridget 1896 and Joseph 1899 all born in Currygrane.
Catherine Whelan's parents were Patrick Whelan and Anna Davis (not sure where they were both born) and her siblings that I know of were John 1858, Eliza 1865 and Teresa 1867, all born Ballinalee.
John Flynn 1881 married Ann Marie (Molly) O'Donnell who was originally from Donegal. Their children were Kathleen Teresa (my nan) 1913, Mary c1914, Thomas c1916, Jenny c1918, Patrick c1919 and Bridget c1921 all born in Currygrane.
Molly passed away in 1925 and some of their youngest children were apparently sent away to boarding school. John passed away in 1959 having never remarried and the last of the Flyyn's to leave the area was Patrick who moved to Mullingar, Westmeath.
Would love to hear from anyone connected to this family.

Katy
