Tyrone / No First MInister for Northern Ireland at the moment
« on: Tuesday 15 January 19 12:57 GMT (UK)  »
Hi I recently sent a request to the PRONI Office regarding admission records to Middletown Convent, I knew I was under the 100yr rule for releasing documents, I have had them waived before when I requested my Grandma's Asylum records. I am 4yrs under the  100yrs.   The records have been found which is great but because we have no First Minister for Ireland and the Dept. Of Communities every request is on hold. This is what Proni replied to me. A search of relevant records held by PRONI has now been completed and I can confirm that we hold certain information in relation to your request.
However, I must inform you that although PRONI does hold the information which you requested, we will be unable to complete your request at the present time, in the absence of the ‘appropriate Northern Ireland Minister’, which is to say, the Minister for the Department for Communities

PRONI has been notified by the Information Commissioner’s Office that the Department for Communities does not have the authority to complete the necessary consultation process with the Responsible Authority for requests for transferred public records in the absence of a Minister, as required under section 15(5) and section 66(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. PRONI will therefore be temporarily suspending FOIA requests until a new Minister has been appointed.

 Hope this will soon be rectified, I am so excited to finally have tracked some documents down which will explain more of my Mum's story.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Opinions please are these the same man young and old Tommy McMahon
« on: Monday 07 November 16 19:46 GMT (UK)  »
Hello I have never seen a photo of my granddad Tommy McMahon when he was a young man,  I  only knew him as an old man. I am attaching a photo of him in his later years and recently came across an old newspaper photo in the Caledon Heritage centre of the woollen  mills  winning 1904 football team, I was drawn to a young player and I have a feeling that this could be my granddad in his youth as he was employed there at this time. Unfortunately no names were included with the team photo. I have cropped and enlarged the photo so apologies for the quality. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the two photo's. Thank you Anne

My grandmother Susan (Mullan) McMahon died 1923 when my mother was only 1yr old. She had an Aunt  Margaret Mary who emigrated to America , but I don't know what happened to the rest of the Mullan family Patrick b1884,
John b1885, and Mary b1887.  It would be nice to find a connection and fill in some missing gaps.

Family History Beginners Board / Brickwall
« on: Wednesday 23 February 11 15:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hope somone can help me, I am trying to find out  more details on my GGG Grandfather Jonathan Cocker I have no date of birth or birthplace. ???
All I know is that he married  a Mary Crowther(Crowder) 4/3/1824 Manchester Cathedral.
Their daughter my GG Grandmother was Sarah Cocker born abt 1826 I can't find any birth details for her, in census's her birthplace is given as Rochdale Lancs.
Her marriage certificate said Jonathan was a spindle maker, Sarah married John Mitchell 27/6/1844 at Manchester cathedral. I believe her father was not alive when she married,  because his wife Mary Crowther remarried a John Whitehead at manchester cathedral on 31/5/1837.
If anybody has any ideas were I should look next I would be most grateful,  Thank you.
