Looking for descendants of:

Michael Egan & Julia Stapleton m Oct 1865, Stradbally.  They had 5 children, Patrick, Mary, James, Michael Jr. and John.  In 1901 they were living in 3 Derrybrock although Julia had died and Patrick left home.

Michael Egan/Eagan Jr went to the UK. My mother-in-law is directly related to him and we have his full UK history.

Also looking for descendants of:

James Brady and Anne Buggy m Nov 1859 in Stradbally.  They had 5 children, Edward, Owen, Maria (aka Anna Maria, Annie or Hannah), Henry and William.  In 1901 they were living in 2 Derrybrock but James had died, leaving Anne a widow.

Maria Brady went to the UK and married Michael Egan Jr.  Boy marries girl next door.  They are the grandparents of my mother-in-law.  UK family history is known.

I think some of the Egan and Brady's remained in Co Laois and would love to trace them.  In the 1911 census, William Brady had married his girl next door (4 Derrybrock), Maggie Curran.  Owen Brady was living at 2 Derrybrock with his wife Elizabeth and baby daughter Annie.

In 1911 the census shows Michael Egan Sr. and 2 sons James and John still living with him a 3 Derrybrock.  His daughter Mary lived there too, married to John Scully.  They had 2 children, Michael and Johbn Scully.

All families mentioned were Roman Catholic and the majority were born in Queens County.  My mother-in-law and her sister are visiting Athy, Stradbally and local addresses at the end of April beginning of May this year (2013) and it would be great to find some family connections.

We'd also like to know where our ancestors are likely buried.

Many thanks,

Denise

Lanarkshire / JACKSON 27 Main St Baillieston - 1915 cobbler shop?
« on: Monday 26 November 12 00:48 GMT (UK)  »
My grandfather had an older brother called Cornelius Jackson and I've always been told that he had a cobbler shop in Baillieston.  A Cornelius Jackson is listed in the 1915 valuation roll as tenant/occupier of 27 Main St.  Does anyone know where I can find photos that might show the shop or perhaps there is someone out there who remembers it of even him?

Cheshire / 16 Abbot Street, Birkenhead 1911

My great-grandfather Cornelius Jackson was born in Glasgow but lived at 16 Abbot Street, Birkenhead during the 1911 census.  I am trying to find that street but it doesn't show on modern maps.  Can anyone tell me where Abbot Street is or was?

Many thanks.

Laois (Queens) / EAGAN/EGAN AND BRADY - Ballymanus/Derrybrock Co Laois
« on: Monday 05 November 12 04:04 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to trace Michael (aka James) Eagan/Egan and Anna Maria Brady.  They were married in Beverley, Yorkshire in July 1903 and a son, James Joseph Egan was born that same year.

Michael died Oct 1942 and Anna in Aug 1952, both in Beverley. They had 3 sons in total, all born in Yorkshire but their daughter Julia Anna was born in Ballymanus, Stradbally in April 1906. 

Julia's birth was not registered until 23rd June 1906. A certified copy of her birth names the parents as James Eagan and Maria Eagan (nee Brady), both of Ballymanus.  The informant was Mary Callaghan of Stradbally who was present at the birth.

Julia's mother was also know as Hannah Maria, Ann Maria, Maria, Annie or Annie Maria depending which certificate we look at!  Her father was James Brady, a Miller and we assume he also came from Stradbally area.

I've reached a dead it seems with Michael and Anna Maria in terms of their Irish history so anyone out there who has any information is most welcome to get in touch  :)

Tyrone / CURRAN - Trickvallen, Ardboe, Co Tyrone
« on: Monday 05 November 12 03:24 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find my great grandfather James CURRAN (2) baptised on 22nd February 1858 by Fr Charles Montague in Mull(a/i)nahoe, Parish of Ardboe.  Sponsors are listed as Hugh Donnelly and Margaret Quinn.  James's parents were James CURRAN (1) and Margaret DONNELLY.

James CURRAN (2) migrated to GLASGOW and married Bridget MCCAFFERTY (of Lanark) in 1883.  He died August 1930 less than 2 years after Bridget.  They had 9 or 10 children of whom only 3 survived and only 1 (my grandmother) gave birth to any children.

Any information would be greatly appreciated  :)
