Offaly (Kings) / Duffy from Tullamore, Ireland
« on: Monday 09 April 12 13:21 BST (UK)  »
We are looking for the Duffy family from Tullamore.

John Duffy was born in Tullamore, Ireland around 1841. We know his father was James Duffy and his mother's maiden name was Flinn.
John joined the army, married a Welsh girl and lived in Scotland until she died in 1881.
We think John then married Bridget Booth in 1884 in Tullamore and they had a son John Duffy born in 1886.

Does anyone recognise these family names from Tullamore,Offaly

With thanks Amle

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Children's Homes Pontypridd
« on: Sunday 08 August 10 08:01 BST (UK)  »
Hi Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone knows of any children's homes in Pontypridd around 1900-1910.
My grandmother Mary Ann Guy was widowed in 1901 in Bristol. She had six young children. We know she got places for the eldest two girls in Muller's Orphanage in Bristol but was unable to get the other children placed. For some reason Mary Ann went to live in Pontypridd, away from other family support. We do not know why. She was awarded some compensation as her husband had died in an accident at work. She got just over £200. Of the remaining four children, one was left with a relative and two older boys went into a home possibly in Pontypridd? The youngest, a baby possibly stayed with mum.
Mary Jane Guy stayed in Pontypridd until around 1910 but would probably have needed a lot of support. When her money ran out she married Walter Benjamin Godfrey in 1906. He was a miner.
Thanks Everyone.

Glamorganshire / Burials at Trealaw Cemetery
« on: Thursday 05 August 10 10:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi
I am new to this site so I hope I am posting correctly.
I am looking for burials in Trealaw Cemetery between 1900 and 1920 of any Godfrey family. I believe my grandparents lived here at this time and we have twins unaccounted for. Also looking for any Guy family as this was grandmothers name before she married my grandfather.
Grateful for any help
