Limerick / Capt. John Franklin b 1745 Limerick
« on: Thursday 01 November 12 02:13 GMT (UK)  »
My ancestor Capt John Franklin married Anna Krause in St Croix , Virgin Islands. Presumably  this was during the time  his   97th regiment  of foot  was based there.    John and Anna's  three known  offspring were  Richard Augustus Meier,   Peter Heiliger  and Jane Anne (or Ann)  Franklin.  They    were born between 1813 & 1815.      I have been unable to establish all of their birthplaces  except perhaps Peter's  which we believe was in Limerick.    I have been unable to ascertain, but I would like to know   know  where  Jane Ann was born, and where  and when  their mother Anna died.    She was considerably younger than   John Franklin   I believe.   He died  at Green Hills, near Lemonfield, County Limerick  in February 1833.
 The Franklin's were protestants.  Could anyone tell me what parish or church  they would likely to have come under please?   I do know that  Jane  was married  for the second time in 1839 at Limerick Cathedral.
I would   love to hear from anyone  who may have any information on  this Franklin family, and be very grateful  too.    Thank you.

Wicklow / William Walker of Carnew.
« on: Wednesday 31 October 12 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
 My GGG grandparents were Joseph and Jane Walker, nee Condell.   They were Protestants, and married in the Rathdrum Church, Co Wicklow  in 1837.  The marriage records  give the grooms father's name as William  of  Carnew, and  the brides  father was Jacob  .   Unfortunately the mother's names were not  given  in those days.
I have found several  references to  Walkers with links to the All Saints Church in  Carnew, and indeed,     a William Walker  who was  one of the Church wardens   and  is mentioned in some of the vestry notes  around 1815 -1820 era.   I believe that of all the William Walkers that I have come across in Wicklow Co, ( and it was a very common name , generation after generation)   that this  one is the most likely one.  How on earth do I find out for sure ?  I  have no idea what Joseph's mother's   name was,  nor do I know if  he had any  siblings  .   Joseph was born  'about 1805.'  according to information passed down by his son - yet another William Walker ! 
I would love for someone more experienced than I  am , to please advise me   where I might find the  facts needed to get around this big block wall I  seem to have hit against.   Thanking you in anticipation.
