Ayrshire / Francis McArdle m Jane ?
« on: Sunday 19 July 15 13:34 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Trying to find a marriage [and anything else] about Francis McArdle from Cladymore Armagh who went to Scotland [I think Hurlford] and married a local girl called Jane [don't know her maiden name]

He was born in 1872 and his mother died in childbirth. He was raised by his mothers people,Loughrans in Armagh and left for Scotland as soon as he was old enough.

This information is from the mention he got in his father's will.

Any help much appreciated!

Armagh / Pat McPhillips Portmore House [near Blackwatertown?]
« on: Saturday 18 July 15 16:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Any help please on tracing descendants of Pat McPhillips of Portmore House Blackwatertown?

He married my great-aunt Rose (Ellen) McArdle of Cladymore Armagh in late 1920's I think.

She was still alive in 1951 when she was a named beneficiary in her brother's will when he died in Jan 1951.

« on: Tuesday 23 July 13 19:57 BST (UK)  »
I believe this studio based on The Mall in Waterford city may have closed in the 1960's?

Does anyone know if the archive was preserved and if so where?

And/or if any of the family are still around?


Here is a CDV from my family collection







It's quite an outfit isn't it?

Cork / Searching for a grave In dunbullogue Cemetry near Cork City
« on: Sunday 27 January 13 18:41 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,I wonder can anyone help me?

I visited this cemetery this week but despite having a copy of the register downloaded from corkarchives.ie I was unable to locate the grave I was looking for.

Lillian Costello died 19 May 1972 and was interred 20 may 1972

There were a small number of unmarked graves so I am wondering is there a way of finding out coordinates so I can know for sure which grave it is,and if it is shared etc?

It is also completely possible i missed the grave.It was VERY COLD lol.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

« on: Wednesday 21 November 12 15:25 GMT (UK)  »
hi

i would like to hear other peoples opinions of the new iPad mini.

i have just treated myself to an early pressie from santa and i am delighted with it.

its just the right size to carry around,and yet big enough to read comfortably all those e-books and pdf documents  i have been meaning to read for months

i can also easily and quickly scan through my GRO scans  etc so i always have them with me

my family tree on ancestry comes up beautifully

so what do you guys think?

is the ipad mini the ideal genealogists working tool?
