Sussex / Bankside Nursing Home
« on: Sunday 08 May 16 15:29 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I have a probate record for my ancestor, Marian Ebden Armstrong, which says she died at Bankside Nursing Home, Wivelsfield, Sussex in 1938.  I've searched, but am not seeming to find a Bankside Nursing Home in Sussex - does anyone know anything about this Home? Has its name changed to something else over the years?

Thank you,
Leeanne

Kilkenny / Clonamery / Clonmorny / Clanmoreney

Hi there,

I have an ancestor, Overington Blunden, listed as living here (I think) in the 1600's.  But I have two different sources, giving me two different spellings of the place name - neither of which I can find when I Google them.  I am trying to ascertain which is the correct spelling, and whether the two places are actually one and the same, or two completely separate places.

Source 1 is the Index to prerogative wills of Ireland, 1536 - 1810 where it states that his will was proved in 1685 : Blunden, Overington; Clanmoreney, Lib. of Kilkenny; gent.

Source 2 is the 1659 Census of Ireland where he appeared as Overington Blunden, gentleman, and the Parish in Clonmorny, Kilkenny, Ireland was listed as "Belonging to St. Kennis Butts".

Now the closest hit I can find on the internet via a quick Google search is Clonamery.  Is this the same place as the above two that I have mentioned?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated?

Kind regards,

Leeanne

Clare / Hassett : Kilrush 1913
« on: Monday 20 May 13 12:52 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,

I wonder if anyone could help?  My great-aunt married one James Paul Flannan Hassett who was born in Kilrush in 1913.  I have been trying to find birth/baptism information for him with no success.  It seems that either there are very few records for Kilrush online, or maybe I am just looking in the wrong places?

I have no other information for him other than what I have mentioned above, and then as far as I know he was Roman Catholic.

Would anyone perhaps know where (other than FamilySearch, Ancestry and the County Clare Library) I could try looking for parish records, or would anyone be able to do a lookup for me?  I have tried contacting St. Sennans Parish, but have yet to receive a reply from them.

Kilkenny / BLUNDEN
« on: Saturday 19 March 11 14:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

I'm researching the Blunden's of Kilkenny.  Particularly any with links to Castle Blunden as this is where my family lived (lives). 

My biggest brick wall so far is Overington Blunden (b. cir 1600), father of Overington Blunden (b. bef 1630) who married Elizabeth Field in 1647 in Bisley, Surrey, England.  They had 6 children that I know of being John; Robert; Dorothy; Sarah; Mary and Lydia.  They all lived at Castle Blunden in Kilkenny.

Is there anyone else researching this line, or anyone who has any information?

Regards,
Leeanne Blunden
