Cork / Trying to find a birth record circa 1870 cork city
« on: Thursday 28 January 21 13:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

I'm trying to find any records relating to the birth of John Twomey, info I've found so far:
He married Ellen McCann in 1909 in Newry listing his father as Francis Twomey.
In the 1911 census he lists his birth place as City of Cork (hence posting on this board)
And that's it, I can't find any records for a birth with Francis as a father - indeed I can't find many records of a Francis Twomey at all (his marriage would be a real bonus!) so, having hunted for this for quite some time I've realised I need help/advice and that's where you knowledgeable lot come in.

In hope, Bean

South Africa / are wills (Natal 1933 to 1950) or index online?
« on: Monday 11 November 19 13:00 GMT (UK)  »
Is it possible, is there an online index (like the uk version)?

I know when the relevant people died, I 'think' they left wills and I have ref numbers from NAAIRS but I can't work out if it's (or if it even is) possible to get any further.

can anyone out there enlighten me?

The Common Room / population size of a village
« on: Wednesday 27 March 19 10:11 GMT (UK)  »
can anyone advise how I can find it out?
I have some data for the village in question (1801 - 1951 & 2011) but would like to fill in the blanks (1961 - 2001)
I'm not interested in names just the village size so is possible to find this out via census returns?

thanks, in hope, of any help or advice anyone can give

« on: Tuesday 21 August 18 14:01 BST (UK)  »
bit cheeky but here goes!
For some reason I can't get to the free records hosted online but Margaret Twomey (B 1911 Newry) does show up on FindMyPast.ie - would someone be happy to look her up and confirm her parents for me?

thanks in hopeful anticipation

Wales / how to find her?
« on: Wednesday 27 June 18 14:19 BST (UK)  »
Elizabeth Thomas Lloyd that is - she is mentioned (as deceased) in an ancestors will from 1848 (proven 1850).
My ancestors family had married into the Davies family of Bronllys Castle and through them into the Lloyd family of Thomas Lloyd Lord Lieutenant of Breconshire temp Henry VIII.
I'm assuming Elizabeth is of this line but where can I find records to search for her death and so for her will?

thank you for any advice/hints/links that can help me shed some light

Herefordshire / Anybody in Kington and/or Lyonshall?
« on: Monday 17 October 16 12:09 BST (UK)  »
and if so could you help?
I believe there are memorial tablets in Kington and Lyonshall parish churches to some ancestors of mine and if anybody in the area would be able to take a picture of them whilst passing it would be much appreciated.

In Kington:     James Crummer     Sarah Davies

In Lyonshall:     James Davies     Marianne (Davies)

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

I've tried all the usual sites but no luck!!
I'm looking for Helen Antoinette Davies, I 'know' it happened between 1901 (listed in census with father and unmarried) and 1914 (named in her fathers will under her married name of Wright)

Did people travel abroad to marry - her family were in London with other branches around the UK but if she'd married in this country she should still show up  ???

Can anyone give me any pointers on where else I can try searching please

The Common Room / which board - 1911 passenger list London to New York
« on: Thursday 19 May 16 15:22 BST (UK)  »
I 'think' an ancestor may have travelled from London to New York in 1911.
which would be the best board to post a query on?
