Limerick / Looking for siblings Elizabeth Ryan Limerick
« on: Wednesday 13 February 13 20:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

Elizabeth/ Lizzy Ryan was born about 1864 in Abbington Limerick to Michael Ryan and Julia Ryan.
She came to Australia ?1884 and was married in Queensland 1888.
I would really like to know if she may have had siblings.

I did find a Denis Joseph born in 1878 to the same parents but I don't know if it is the same family.  :-\
I have a Church Marriage Record for Julia and Michael in 1859 but again not sure if it is my Ryans

Thank you in advance

Clarence  :)

Kilkenny / Re: Walsh from Piltown, Kilkenny
« on: Tuesday 30 November 10 23:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Agho,

Many thanks for the info. The Baptism Record of John showed he was born 12 April, 1857 and the address is Graguevine. I am not sure if that is a town or what. I am afraid I am not familiar with parishes, town etc. As you said, Edward was the father and Bridget Butler the mother. Sponsors were Thomas Henebry and Anne Walsh.

Alas the marriage record didn't show any father or mother's names only witnesses were John Butler and Catherine Butler.

Not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions?

Warm regards
Clarence

Hi Agho,

Thank you for replying to my post. I am sorry it has taken me a while to respond.

 What you have given me certainly sounds promising but without John there, how would I  know if it is his family?. Unfortunately being in Australia, I don't have any access to the Dublin National Library.
You are so right when you say that Walsh and Butlers are extremely common.

Perhaps if I knew Bridget's parents names, it may make it a tiny bit more doable.

However, I shall keep searching and perhaps something may come up.

Many thanks

Clarence :)

Kilkenny / Walsh from Piltown, Kilkenny
« on: Monday 21 June 10 12:59 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

 John Walsh born about 1860 in Piltown, Kilkenny. His father was Edmund and mother was Bridget Butler. . John came over to Australia possibly about 1880. He married in 1887 in Townsville,Queensland Australia.  From what I can gather, they were Catholics. Would really like to know if he had any siblings or anything at all about his mother and father.

Many thanks

Clarence

Tipperary / Re: FARRELLS from Tipperary -help

Hello annclare,

Thanks for the idea about Hugh. I hadn't really thought of that so that is great.

I have a few things on the go. I have ordered the film from my local family history library for the marriage of Martin and  I had a guess about Hugh's marriage and ordered an 1870 marriage from the parish of Kildare,so that will be 'pot luck.' Process of elimination!
I also bought a certificate from the IFHF for Hugh's death. It doesn't give me a fathers name but does say he was married and his son William was the informant. His address is Borrisokane also.

As Shane said in a previous posting, 'gather the evidence' and might get a link.  :D

What is origns network?

Kind regards

Clarence

Hello annclaire,

I have what you would call an 'extract' for Martin's marriage. It has date 30/5/1874  then  Martin's name, Margaret  Murphy's name then the  name of the 2 witnesses. It also has Church of Ireland/Roman Catholic Parish - Borrisokane. The one you mentioned for Martin in 1874 could possibly be the correct one.

I did notice in the  'gro' link you sent me,  they do keep copies of  children born at sea if parents are Irish. Could this may be another way of finding out where they  lived. Martin and Margaret had a son Denis on the ship on the way to Australia. I do have a copy of the birth certificate from here in Australia but it only has parish of Borriskane as a place.

Regarding the marriage certificates I did purchase from IFHF, they were just a guesses. Whenever I put in Borrisokane parish, I didn't get any result for Honora.  Assuming they married when they were between about 18 and 20. On the birth records I have for Sarah, her name is down as Sally. (I gather Sally is a another name for Sarah.)

I have been to the my local family history library to see if I can unravel some of the mysteries of the parishes but I think I am more confused than when I started  ???

Regards

Clarence

.Hello All,

I have just sent away for Margaret and Martin Farrells death certificates and then I think I will sign them off. (Unless something comes up in the certificates.!)
Jenn, if your chap who cleans up the graves gives you any informaton re headstones would you please keep me informed.

I would like to thank you all for your help on this one. I haven't finished on John Walsh as yet but will see what I can find on the Irish side.

Kind regards

Hi Shane,

Regarding the film number, would I be looking at Tipperary in the Diocese of Cashel & Emly? Film No P 2495- P 2496?

Hello annclare

Thanks for the information. Good to know I am dealing with only one parish. It gets a little confusing with civil parishes and religious parishes.

The baptism certificate I have, tells me who the parents are and the sponsors so that is something I am working from. I have bought a couple of marriage certificates from the The North Tipperary Genealogy and Heritage Service . I thought I would try with the girls first as the names are a little different.

Two marriages I now have are  Honora Farrell who married a William Salmon on 14 Jan 1863 in the Parish /District LORRHA.  Sarah Farrell (Sally) married William Moor 16 Aug 1858 in COURNAGANEEN (Bourney) No parents recorded on either certificates. Are these parish/districts still part of Borrisokane?

As I am in Australia, the National Library in Ireland is a little out of my reach  - only in my dreams!  Does the film contain births, marriages and deaths?

Kind Regards

Clarence
