Midlothian / Census

« on: Monday 05 September 22 04:16 BST (UK) »

I have the 1841 census for my family the Curruthers. The address is Ironside court old physic gardens and the civil parish is Edinburgh Trinity college The occupation of William the father is a comb maker. I have googled this address, and all I can find are articles on Botanical gardens and Trinity church. I'm curious as to the history of this address and did it offer accommodation (which I am assuming it did as the family were living there )and if there are other sites to go on to get a better look at that area around the 1800s onwards Thanks Hereford

Australia / finding where my convict relations worked

« on: Sunday 14 August 22 10:01 BST (UK) »

Hi, I may have posted something similar in the past so my apologies. I just haven't been on roots chat for a long time. Trying to find out about the work history of my G G grandfather Michael Honan, a convict sentenced to 7yrs and who worked for Fitz Herbert Miller Mundy at one stage and Michael's wife Winnifred Heffernan, a bounty immigrant. The dates are 1835 for Michael till 1841. and 1841 for Winnifred. Unsure if she was still working for someone after the wedding in August 1841. Where would I go to look to find out the work and employment history of these two? Many thanks, Hereford

Tipperary / Heffernan

Hi, am also researching Winnifred Heffernan circa 1820 to 1821. Trying to find out about any of her Irish family eg Parents siblings what the family did or information on this family etc etc . The only information I have on Winnifred in Ireland is that she was an indentured immigrant on the ship Neptune She was 20yrs old at the time and Roman Catholic. The ship arrived in Australia on 29th March 1841 and she married Michael Honan Jnr 29 August 1841 in Melbourne. Hoping that there is information on her in Ireland. Thankyou Hereford

The father's name was Michael Honan as well. I am hoping that someone else is researching this family and can help me Hereford

New Zealand Completed Requests / Charles Fergussen

« on: Saturday 04 February 17 04:23 GMT (UK) »

Looking for Charles or Charlie Ferguson. Very little information about this individual. I know he was in the Stirling area in the Sth Island circa 1930s and was working on a chicory farm.I believe he left the area about 1938 to 39. We are assuming he may have been late teens 18 yrs to perhaps late 20s .He may have left the area and gone to war. I am aware that info here is very very limiting but any clue could be of help. Thanks Hereford

Durham / Dawsons to America

« on: Monday 07 March 16 02:59 GMT (UK) »

Hi hope someone can help. have been researching the Dawson's of Durham for a while .I have a record of a 1650 to 1720 John Dawson and wife 1660-1725 Annam Keenliside moving from England to the Isle of Wight Virginia US.I think round about 1700s. They must of left a son John 1683 behind .Just wondering if this is correct information . Not knowing English History at that time I am unsure as to why they would have left and left their son. I am assuming they had other children but can not find any more information . Thank you Hereford.
