England / Lonsdale
« on: Sunday 19 September 10 22:34 BST (UK)  »
My grandmother: Marjorie Violet Lonsdale (1908-1990).  Can not find anything of her family ancestry apart from her father was a WH Lonsdale and that she was born in Java.  Would love to be able to trace her roots back a little further, with some more detail. Everything from her marriage onwards is fine .... but her past remains a mystery!!

Ireland / Kavanagh
« on: Saturday 18 September 10 11:51 BST (UK)  »
Have reached a total impasse in my family history search on behalf of my uncle!  His g-grandfather was in Ireland and was in the RUC (tho prob called Royal Irish then?)  At this time his surname was apparently Brady. He then left Ireland because of "some troubles" !!! Changing his name to Kavanagh, settled in Spittalfields area of London and was reportedly a "superintendent" of the market there, known as Black Jack!  I know the next stages: had son, James (b c1872) who married Honorah in 1893, Whitechapel.   He possibly had other children including one who went to South Africa and another to NZ. It's the previous history I'm trying to trace!  Does this sound like a treasure hunt needing a visit to Ireland (but where?!!) ?  Ideas? Help?

Wicklow / Malone: Wicklow
« on: Tuesday 31 August 10 12:00 BST (UK)  »
Have been tracing my mother's family back through several generations and am now trying to complete a few loose ends!  Looking for any info concerning her great grandfather's wife's mother!!  She was Ann Malone, mother of Margaret (b 1861 Dublin). From the 1891 and 1901 England census, I know that Ann Malone was born in approx 1831 in Ireland.  1891 census says Dublin, 1901 census says "Toltardstown" Wicklow, which I am making an assumption (!!) could be a typo of Talbotstown?  Ann Malone died in Taunton, Somerset in about 1910.  I would like to find out whom she married (Mr Malone!) and possible names of parents.  She would have been in Ireland from her birth until about 1890/1 when the first census has her living with her daughter's family in Somerset, England.  Her daughter, Margaret, was married in Dublin to William Bellamy (St Jude's 1883).  Thanks for any help, hints, info.

Paul
