Dublin / J Shepley in 1910 Thoms
« on: Saturday 26 January 13 14:58 GMT (UK)  »
I believe there are entries for J Shepley and J H Shepley in the 1910 edition of Thoms. Geraldine St or Josephine Avenue, Dublin.


Anyone able to do a lookup and say what the business was?

Limerick / Michael F Crowe
« on: Wednesday 09 June 10 07:24 BST (UK)  »
At the Easter Commemoration in Galbally this year, my father in law mentioned another of his family that I'd not heard of before and I'm keen to see how he links in to the tree.

Would anyone have any family information about Michael F Crowe from Ballysimon, Co Limerick? Born some time in the late 1800's, active at the turn of the century and thru to the 1920's at least.

I am aware that as well as being a railway employee he was a GAA referee and an IRB man. There is a write up of him in the series "Great Limerick Sportsmen" from 1955 which gives some info about his sporting/working career

and he appears in the list of 125 Influential People in the GAA

Other than this, nothing. No date of birth or death, no names of parents or siblings, marriage info etc. No idea what the middle initial stands for. Would be grateful for any information or suggestions of where best to look.

Cheshire / Private R Williams from Chester(?) died 1921
« on: Friday 22 January 10 22:07 GMT (UK)  »
this is a longshot but would anyone have any information about or connection to a Private R Williams, a private in 2nd Battalion the Royal Welch Fusiliers who was killed in Bunratty, Co Clare, Ireland 10th July 1921 (the day before the Truce). His death record on the Commonwealth War Graves website indicates his mother was Mrs M Williams of 3, Abbey Green, Chester.

http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2743402

He was a motorcycle despatch rider travelling from Limerick to Ennis with another soldier when the bridge at Bunratty collapsed having been sabotaged by local IRA. Whilst his colleague survived, Private Williams drowned.

His service number, 4179390, was from the 1920 re-organisation in the Army. There's no medal card for him and I believe that he was likely a post war enlistment who was too young to have served during WW1.

I'd like to find out a bit more about him and his links to Cheshire etc Don't even know his or his mothers first name at the moment which is proving a stumbling block.

Wexford / Thomas Doyle, Irish St, Enniscorthy1908
« on: Sunday 24 May 09 15:01 BST (UK)  »
Thomas Doyle of 38 Irish St, Enniscorthy registered the 1908 deaths of Thomas and Anne Doyle of Yorkville Cottage, Solsborough, Enniscorthy.

Does anyone have access to the 1901 or 1911 census records to see if he was living at 38 Irish Street in either census and if there were any other Doyle's with him.

Thanks

John Doyle

Lots of good information though the search mechanism is a bit unreliable/quirky at times.
