Warwickshire / Re: John F Wilkes

I was going through my St Chads baptismal records and I found the baptism of John Frederick Wilkes on the 7th January 1855 (he was born on the 2nd January). His father is given as JOHN Wilkes and his mother is Louisa Simpson. Going back and forward through the church records I found two other Wilk/e/s baptisms - Mary (1849) and George (1853). Going back to the GRO records I found the following ...

WILKES, THOMAS*           SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1847  S Quarter in BIRMINGHAM  Volume 16  Page 222

WILKES, MARY  FRANCES      SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1849  D Quarter in ASTON UNION  Volume 16  Page 208

WILKES, GEORGE           SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1853  J Quarter in ASTON  Volume 06D  Page 207

WILKES, JOHN  FREDERICK      SIMPSON     
GRO Reference: 1855  M Quarter in ASTON  Volume 06D  Page 264

*Thomas Wilkes is the son of Thomas Wilkes and Eliza Wilkes nee Simpson. The other 3 are brothers and sister.

It could well be that all the above is a co-incidence but it's well worth looking at. There was only one birth on the GRO records for a John Frederick Wilkes in 1855 and it shows his registration as being during the first quarter (Jan - Feb - Mar) therefore it is likely that he put down the wrong birth date on the 1939 Register.

I have attached a copy of John Wilke's marriage to Ann Cooper at St Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland. I think you will have to contact Northumberland Archives for more detailed information. I think the link you need is here ... https://calmview.northumberland.gov.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=EP+86%2f31

I looked through all the Roman Catholic marriages for Birmingham and there are no marriages between James Kelly and Catherine Jordan.

Roscommon / Re: Assylinn Graveyard
« on: Monday 18 April 22 15:08 BST (UK)  »
I visited the graveyard in Assylinn a couple of years ago when I was researching the Moraghan family. I took quite a number of photos of gravestones while I was there and posted them to the findagrave site

https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2246759/assylinn-graveyard%EF%BB%BF

I only came across one gravestone that had the name Sloan and that was for a Sister Mary Theodosia Sloan who died in 1958.

You can download a copy from here (the link expires 8th May).

There appears to be some pages missing but I have checked them all on FindMyPast and they don't have them either so I am assuming the pages contain no relevant data.

You may already have done this but, if not, then there is a thread on IrelandXO about the Hanley/Hanly families - it may be of use ...

Roscommon / Re: Patrick Hanley born 1859 Salmons Lane, Ballyleague, Roscommon
« on: Wednesday 28 April 21 14:37 BST (UK)  »
On the 1857 Griffiths Valuation of Ireland there is a John Hanl(e)y residing at a house on Plot 12 - this is just to the left of Salmons Lane in Ballyleague (see attached map). On the 1901 Census a Francis Hanly is living with his family in Ballyleague see http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Roscommon/Cloontuskert/Ballyleague/1668240/ . Francis Hanly married Catherine Johnston on the 26th April 1874. Francis Hanly was born in 1851 so could well be the brother of Francis. Francis' marriage certificate states that he was living at Salmonslane and his father was Patrick Hanly, labourer.
