Kilkenny / Marriage Martin Toban(Tobin) and Mary Kealy Castlecomer Kilkenny(Clough parish)
« on: Tuesday 30 May 17 21:26 BST (UK)  »
Searching for a marriage Martin Toban (later changed to Tobin) to Mary Kealy in Kilkenny.
I'm assuming the marriage was in Castlecomer around 1870 because of births of their 2 children.
 
22/1/1872  Margaret Toban         Gurteen, Castlecomer, Kilkenny
16/6/1873  James Aloysius Tobin               Castlecomer, Kilkenny
There is a note attached to copy of Margaret's birth cert. from I believe, the parish priest of Clough parish, Co. Kilkenny. Any help much appreciated.

« on: Wednesday 31 August 16 10:28 BST (UK)  »
Hi, my Grandad John Ridge was in the 1st battalion KOSB. I have some old black and white photos of his friends taken in India from around the mid 1930's and wondered if anyone might be looking for a photo of a long lost ancestor. Some have their army no. and some just names and places.
Here are the details:-

Finally, there is a photo of KOSB B Coy football team from the mid 1930's.

If any of these names ring a bell then please let me know as it would be nice to reunite someone with a photo of their long lost ancestor. I'm sure my Grandad would like that too.

The Common Room / National Archives Land & Emigration Commission
« on: Wednesday 29 April 15 10:48 BST (UK)  »
Please can anyone help check out some info. at the National Archives Kew?

My ancestor Joseph Ridge and his wife Mary (m.s.Glynn) went to Western Australia as assisted emigrants under the auspicies of the UK based Land & Emigration Commission(also known as the Colonial Land & emigration Commission). These are the details:-

Joseph Ridge (b1845) age 24, left London aboard the 'Hastings' in April 1869 and arrived in Australia 26/7/1869. Mary Glynn (b1848) age 20, left aboard the 'Tartar' in Oct 1867 and arrived in Oz Jan 1868. They married in Fremantle WA 22/8/1869 but there is no birth date or birth place mentioned but I do have names of parents. The couple are also mentioned in the book 'The Bicentennial Dictionary of W.A pre 1829-1888'.

I've been told that the Commission held details on passengers who emigrated so hopefully there's a chance of confirming their birth date, place and parents. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

« on: Monday 29 April 13 22:55 BST (UK)  »
This is part of a death extract for Mary Ridge(m.s.Glen/was Glynn)for 1878. Her parents names are Nardie short for Bernardie Glen(Glynn) and Mary Glen(Glynn) but I can't read the maiden name.
Is it Gorshaw or Earnshaw or something else? Also, what is the cause of death? Hope you can help.

Looking for info. on Mary A. Ridge(born 1877/8) who married George E Moylan(b1877 Boston) on 12/8/1899 in Boston,Suffolk,Mass. Mary's parents were Joseph Ridge and Mary Glynn(Glyn/Glen) and George's parents were Michael J Moylan and Hannah(m.s. O'Brien). Mary had a sister Bridget(Delia)Ridge who also married in Boston(m10/5/1903) to Michael M Foley(b1873).
Would like to know where Mary was born(England/Ireland?) and where she died(Boston?). Also any info.on her parents whom I believe came from Ireland. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Australia / RIDGE/GLYNN marriage 22/8/1869 Fremantle,WA
« on: Monday 22 April 13 23:05 BST (UK)  »
Looking for any info. on Joseph Ridge who married Mary/Mariae Glynn on 22/8/1869 in Fremantle.
They had 3 children-Bridget(Delia)Ridge(b15/6/1870)in Fremantle,Peter Ridge (b26/6/1872) in Rottnest Island and Mary Ridge(b1877?)in either England/Ireland.
Joseph's parents were Peter&Mary Ridge(m.s.Welsh) and Mary's parents were Bernard&Mary Glynn

Would like to know when Joseph and Mary arrived and left Australia and where they went. I suspect they were born in Ireland but they both died in Glasgow,Scotland. Joseph in 1892 and Mary in 1878. However, their two daughters married in Boston(1899 & 1903) and I believe their son died age 5(d1877) in Glasgow.(The Glynn surname changed to Glen in Scotland and may have been Glyn or McGlynn previously) Any knowledge of the family would be wonderful. Thanks.
