Family History Beginners Board / Shea / Ringwood
« on: Saturday 20 January 18 05:29 GMT (UK)  »
I am seeking information on the family/ancestors of my great-great-grandparents Joseph Shea of Ballyragget and Mary Ringwood of Templetuohy who were married in the Catholic Parish of Ballyragget in 1859. I have found their marriage on May 23, 1859 online:
National Library of Ireland
Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI
Ballyragget | Microfilm 05017 / 09

Joseph's parents were James Shea and Bridget Dalmer (or Palmer) who were married around 1830 and Mary's parents were Joseph and Bridget. This information is unsubstantiated and has been gleaned from family trees published on line.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Any info would be appreciated as we are planning to visit the area this summer.

Cheers

Family History Beginners Board / Hurley / Genane

I am seeking information on the family/ancestors of my great-great-grandparents Patrick Hurley of Ballymoylan and Bridget Genane of Youghal who were married in the Catholic Parish of Youghal Arra; County of Tipperary; Diocese of Killaloe in 1832. I have found their marriage on July 29, 1832 online:
National Library of Ireland
Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI
Microfilm 02483 / 02 | Page 30
Youghal Arra; County of Tipperary; Diocese of Killaloe. Marriages, June 1832 to Feb. 1833

I can find no other Genanes except in the Parish Registers, so, given that I had previously believed her name was Gannon, am concerned this might be a variant of another name.

Their children (I have 7 in total) were also born in the area and their Baptisms are recorded in the Youghal Arra Parish Registers between 1832 and 1846. My great-grandmother (Winifred Hurley b.July 7, baptised July 12, 1846) subsequently migrated to Australia in 1867 to join her sister Catherine who had migrated earlier.

Any info would be appreciated as we are planning to visit the area this summer.

Alexander mc caldrige/mcfadden dob is Sept 1905.
That's very interesting. Even though they were McFaddens, they still used the name McCaldridge.

Looks like he was born on 30 July 1905 at Ballycraigagh.

Your grandfather's dob would be helpful - I can't find his birth in either the GRONI or Irishgenealogy  index

HI   i am trying to do my family tree.  Any help would be much appreciated as I am new to this.  I would be William Mc Caldriges great grand daughter.
Welcome to the world of genealogy. You can have a lot of fun, meet great people (like the ones I've found on this site), find long lost relatives AND waste a lot of time.

If you are just starting out, I recommend in this digital age, that you use family tree software. My choice is to use Family Tree Builder from https://www.myheritage.com/family-tree-builder - the great advantage is that its free. This will enable you to explore the world.

Another piece of advice is not to rush in and join a commercial site like Ancestry, until you have explored the "free" information out there.

Now, which William McAldrige are we talking about as your ggf? The one born in 1874? or the one married in 1874?

If it's William McFadden (born Alexander), that puts you in the same generation as my wife and Sandel1 on this site
Cheers

Sincere thanks to Sinann and Aghadowey for providing the breakthrough that I needed.  The marriage cert show that my Great-grandmother was indeed Taggart, but from Ballyoglagh, not Loughguile as my Mother had always believed.
The whole name change scenario became more interesting when I received this info, and delved deeper.  My Great-grandfather, known as William McFadden, was married as William McCaldridge, but his birth reg found just tonight shows him as William Alexander born 15/11/74 to William Alexander and spouse Mary Ann McFadden at Knockannbery (Knockanavery?). He had three surnames in a lifetime, finally adopting his Mother's maiden name!  I feel we have skeletons in our closet.
Thanks for research into his children's registrations, and I confirm that George whilst noted as a different age on 1911 census appears to have been born in 1901 - unfortunately I have not yet found any of his family.
I sadly conclude that my Grandmother Minnie and her older sister Jane/Jeannie were not registered at birth - Grandma was born in 1896, her parents marriage in December of that year render her illegitimate as was Jane.  I think they were never registered and I have a copy of Bushvale register of their joint adult baptism.  However sites provided last night on RootsChat have allowed me to have a copy of my Grandparents marriage cert Bushvale 15 Nov 1918 Minnie McFadden to John Gordon.

My wife is also a granddaughter of Minnie and John - are you able to post a link to both their Baptism and the Marriage Certificate. You have enabled us to go back one generation further than we had previously. Many thanks
