The extensive Tithe Applotement Book database on the National Library of Ireland website does not include the civil parish of Kilmainham in co Meath. Do these records exist anywhere? John

Anglesey Lookup Requests / Great grand parent of Australian Prime Minister William Hughes at Llanerchymedd
« on: Saturday 21 April 18 11:40 BST (UK)  »
Hello, does anyone have access to the parish register of Llanerchymedd in Anglesey. It is not in the FindMyPast Anglesey Baptisms collections.

I am researching the Welsh ancestors of William Morris Hughes (1862-1851) who was Prime Minister of Australia 1915-23. 

His  father William Hughes, a joiner,  was born in Holyhead according to census records in about 1824 (although his 1871 census records says he was born in Liverpool). According to his London marriage record (1861) his father was named William, a mason. William also had a sister Mary born about 1821 in Holyhead.

I found an entry in the 1851 census at Liverpool which appears to match this family: 1851 census,:122 Upper Mann St, Toxteth Park, Lancashire: William Hughes 65 widwr b. Anglesey Amlwich, Elizabeth 34 dau b Wales Llannerch-y-medd, Mary 30 b b Wales Llannerch-y-medd, William 28 joiner b Holyhead.

I am hoping that if someone could search the Llannerchymedd parish register from around 1816 to 1821, it may reveal more about William Snr and who is wife was.

Can anyone help?

Is anyone doing research on the Dunne families of Killone & Ballymanus, families that claim to be decended from the senior O'Dunne line of Iregan, rather than the most famous Dunnes of Brittas. John

Ireland Resources / Crossle Genealogical Abstracts on Find My Past
« on: Sunday 29 October 17 21:26 GMT (UK)  »
Find My Past has just loaded up three huge new databases covering 1550 to 1805- Betham's Genealogical Abstracts, Crossle Genealogical Abstracts and Thrifts Genealogical Abstracts. They include an abstract of the hundreds of thousands of Prerogative Court Wills lost in the 1922 fire.

Crossle includes also extensive indexes of family listings from the Chancery Bills and Exchequer Bills. I have never seen this series before and wondered if anyone knows anything about it. Crossle tended to collect info on NW Ireland, but the Bills index appears to cover a larger group of families (no localities are named). Do the bills still exist?

Does anyone have any information on Thomas Dunne married to Sally Keafney/Caveney of Rhode RC parish in the 1830s and 1840s? They have five baptisms at Rhode between 1836 and 1845. Sally was my 4xG aunt.

Laois (Queens) / Julia Lalor b 1770 married a "Mr Kelly" of Portarlington
« on: Monday 05 December 16 12:35 GMT (UK)  »
A Victorian death certificate for Julia Masterson nee Comerford records her birth year as 1833, birthplace Carlow and parents as Mary Kelly & Patrick Comerford.  Another online reference suggests that Mary Kelly was born at Portarlington, and her mother was Julia Lalor, aunt of the revolutionaries James Fntan Lalor and Peter Lalor. Yet I can find no Irish records to corroborate this. Can anyone help?John Cherry

Australia / Ellen Hyde died Adelaide in 1917: sister of Peter Lalor?
« on: Saturday 22 August 15 13:19 BST (UK)  »
I am wondering if any researchers could shed any light on Ellen Hyde who died in Adelaide in 1917 aged 65. According to her obituary ("Advertiser" 29/5/1917) she was the sister of Peter Lalor of Eureka. Nothing makes sense about that claim, except for the fact it was repeated over and over in the SA papers. She was the husbane of Edward Hyde and had a daughter Eva Hyde (b 1872) who married Frederick Pritchard in Adelaide in December 1891. Any help would be appreciated.  John
