Westmorland Completed Look up Requests / Who are the parents?
« on: Saturday 01 May 21 19:34 BST (UK)  »
Who are the parents of William Furness Shaw born c. 1855 in Kendal, Westmorland.  On the 1861 and 1871 census returns he is living with his grandparents in Kendal and by 1881 he is married.

His grandparents (Wiliam Furness Shaw -1799 & Dorcas Robinson – c. 1801)  had three daughters Margaret-c.1823, Mary-c.1825 and Betsy-c.1833 and one son Joseph-c.1829   Joseph married in 1849 so could possibly be the father but cannot tie this in.  Joseph and his wife have 3 children in the 1860’s so perhaps Wm. F. Shaw  may be an illegitimate child of one of the daughters of his grandparents and brought up by them. 

Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you. Isi.

Wexford / John Connolly (too many variations of this surname)
« on: Sunday 28 March 21 19:40 BST (UK)  »
Looking for the baptismal record/parents/siblings of John Connolly, born in Mayglas, Ferns, Co. Wexford in 1822, the information is from Regimental Service Records.  John unlisted in 1842 aged 20 at that time.  He served for 21 years and then married Alice Scallon in Rathangan Parish in 1863. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Down / Catherine and Mary Anne Gilmore of Grallagh.
« on: Wednesday 13 September 17 10:30 BST (UK)  »
Seeking information on Catherine and Mary Anne Gilmore of Grallagh.
On 1911 census they are aged 34 & 32 respectively and farmers also Roman Catholic.
Mary Anne was present at the death of her grandfather Hugh Henry of Rathfriland.
Their mother was possibly Hugh's daughter Margaret Henry born 1856.  Need to confirm their birth and parents marriage etc.
Would be grateful for any help.

PS   The Henry family were from the Warrenpoint/Clonallon area.

Wexford / John Connolly born c. 1822 in Co. Wexford
« on: Thursday 17 August 17 20:36 BST (UK)  »
Seeking information on John Connolly and his wife Alice Scallan? from RC Parish records.  Alice was born in Co. Wexford too and they were married there in the 1850's.  Two of their four children (Alice 1853 and Margaret Maria 1864)  were born in Wexford, possibly Bridgetown.  The family came to live in Liverpool where two other children were born, (Francis Joseph 1867 and Catherine 1870).
Would be very grateful for any information.  Thank you.

Lancashire / Please can anyone throw any light on the following enigma.
« on: Monday 23 November 09 18:42 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah Jane Lowe b. 1863 in Earlestown. She married Richard McCartney in Accrington in 1882 and had three children. In 1891 she is living in Accrington with her children but no husband. In 1901 she is living with William Stevenson as his wife with their children, together with her McCartney children, in Giles St., Padiham. I cannot find a marriage record for this couple or a death record for Richard McCartney. In 1911 she is still with William Stevenson and their children in Giles St., but also listed is one of her McCartney children (Nellie) under the name of Waddington. Her other two McCartney children(Albert Edward and Arthur) are listed but again under the names of Waddington and then crossed out. Albert Edward Waddington is living nearby with his wife and family. I cannot think of any explanation of why these McCartney children should change their name to Waddington.
Would be interested to hear any thoughts on this.
Thank you.
