Occupation Interests / Irish Tailor
« on: Monday 10 April 23 17:39 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know anything about Irish tailors? Is there a guild that I can contact or anywhere where there would be records?
What would it be like to try to eke together a living as a tailor? and how likely is it that an Irish tailor may have moved to Scotland? Or changed their occupation all together?

Thanks in advance

Limerick / St Munchin's Parish
« on: Saturday 14 December 19 20:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I have found ancestors who married at the above church as Church of Ireland and 7 years later as Roman Catholics. Also as i trace the family back the baptisms take place there as Church of Ireland.  I am a little confused by all this and wish to know what denomination the church was? Did it change denomination? And does this mean my ancestors from this particular branch were COI rather than RC?

Thanks in anticipation

Occupation Interests / Mariners
« on: Wednesday 22 May 19 12:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I am interested in finding out about mariners of the 18th century. My ancestor was a mariner at Wapping London, but I believe he was originally from Whitby in Yorkshire.

Are there any records or registers available that could help me confirm this?

His descendants lived in Whitby and they're surname 'Harland' is common in the area.

Thanks in anticipation

Cavan / Henry Murphy of Cavan
« on: Sunday 24 February 19 16:53 GMT (UK)  »
HI Everyone

I am looking for the baptism of Francis Murphy approx 1830 and his sister Margaret approx 1835 and possibly others to Henry Murphy in Co Cavan.

The family later moved to Co Monaghan (Currin parish) where my great grandmother Susan Murphy was born in 1862 (to Francis and Mary Anne (née Nugent or Gilsenan)

Margaret married James Mcentee in 1868 and lived in Cootehill area.
And also anything on Henry himself too.

Hi

I am trying to trace the baptism of Elizabeth Duck who married John Ellis (of Whitby) in York in 1731.  They had two daughters Ann and Jane both born in Whitby, I am unsure if Elizabeth would've been baptised in York or Whitby, but I know there are was a Duck family in Whitby.

Thanks

One Name Studies: N to S / Sedman Whitby
« on: Saturday 22 December 18 17:28 GMT (UK)  »
It is probably a long shot but I am looking for a baptism for Mary Sedman in the Whitby area of Yorkshire in 1679 or thereabouts.
She married Francis Ellis at Whitby In 1707 and had two sons John 1708 and Francis 1710.
I would love to hear from anyone who knows more about this family

Thanks
Rachel  :D

Durham Lookup Requests / John Bulmer of Sherburn
« on: Monday 10 December 18 14:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Everyone

Can anyone give me some pointers as to where to look for baptisms, marriages and burials for Sherburn. My ancestor John Bulmer was a farmer there and his two sons John born abt 1702 and William born abt 1704 both married and settled in the North Riding of Yorkshire.
I have tried ancestry and FindMyPast but don't know the area well enough to know where to look.

Many thanks
