London and Middlesex / Re: Mystery 'Nurse Child' Fred Talbot.
« on: Friday 05 October 12 20:10 BST (UK) »
Its been over a year now and I am still no further on with my search despite most days looking for both FLORENCE TALBOT, single woman, who gave birth to illegitimate child FREDERICK JOHN TALBOT, baptised at Lambeth St Mary the Less on 23rd April 1902, who gave her address as 77 Vauxhall Walk, Lambeth.
I have continually searched for more details of the above but have always drawn a blank.
I believe, as stated in my previous posts, that Frederick John Talbot , for some reason, was adopted by the Butler family.
I need to trace the mother, Florence Talbot. I cant get any further with this and its driving me mad.
I need the help of you more experienced Rootchatters please.
Any help, any ideas, any suggestions - anything please to further my search?
Thank you
Rosie

Leitrim / Re: McGoohan family Oughterragh
« on: Monday 21 May 12 19:12 BST (UK) »
Hi to all you who have posted and thanks very much for the interesting information.
I have not worked on my McGoohan side of the family for the past couple of years as I have been concentrating more on the other half of the family.
However, I have tried to look back on the info I had previously collected and it is as follows: (some of it has already been said by Lynda previously)
The furthest we have got back to is John McGoohan born in Ireland c1810, died 1845 in Ireland. He married a Bridget Dunigan. On Family Search it states John as being born in Sligo?
They had 5 children.
Edward born 1832
Bridget born 1833
John born 1834
Mary born 1835
Patrick born 1841 All in Ireland.
Patrick then goes to Scotland and marries Sarah Conway in Leith in 1859. Have not been able to find anything out about Sarah Conway, but presume she too came from Ireland.
They had 9 children, all born in Edinburgh.
John McGoohan born 1810 is my Great Great Great Grandfather, Patrick born 1841 is my Great Great Grandfather, James born 1867 is my Great Grandfather and James born 1887 is my Grandfather.
It is through James born 1887 where the Fitzpatrick connection comes in as he married a Bridget Fitzpatrick.
I have never been able to establish for certain where our McGoohan family originated from as the Irish records I always found difficult to access.
I knew several McGoohans went over to America, then using the name McGowan.
Mick The name McCartan you mention does not seem to crop up in anything I have found so far. Is it possible for you to please try and look up particularly John McGoohan, as you live in Ireland, as any help on him and Sarah Conway would be invaluable to us in our research.
I believe several of the McGoohan family came over with Patrick in or before 1859 before his marriage to Sarah Conway and settled in Scotland. Paticks mother Bridget Dunigan also followed to Scotland and infact died there.
I hope this is not too confusing to you and would appreciate any help, however small.
Many thanks
Rosie

Hi there - I am also a McGoochan/McGoohan etc. I originate from London. My father and Grandfather came from Scotland but beyond that they came from Ireland.
I have a dear cousin up in Scotland, Lynda, who is much more able to help you than I am so I have sent her an e mail to make her aware of your message. I am sure she will reply to it shortly .
In the meantime I will follow this thread.

Sorry Monica - typing error - I meant Lawson!
Have looked at the link you mentioned for the NAS . Seems there is another McGoohan listed for assault and robbery, sentenced to 8 years and with previous convictions for assault.
This family seems to have quite a few bad boys among them.
I am just going to make enquiries now about ordering through the post to NAS
Thank you for your help
Rosie

Hi again Monica
No I haven't been able to definitely find her on any of the census, apart from 1891. There seems to be so many Isabella Dawsons around, born Scotland, England and Ireland so I dont know which one it could be as I have so little info on her.
Never thought of the illegitimate theory - quite possible. Will have to look into that.
Isabella died in the district of Kelvin in Glasgow.
No I havent gone any further in trying to trace the daughter Sarah McPhail in Ireland as yet.
It seems I have a whole lot of work to do!
OOPS...just about to POST this when your other one came through. Thank you so much will look into that right now.
Thanks again
