United States of America / Healy

« on: Saturday 26 October 19 05:54 BST (UK) »

I know this is a long shot, but somebody may be able to help. I am looking for descends of Nicholas Healy and Mary Hogan who lived in Killilah, County Clare Ireland. Four of their children came to Australia in the mid to late 1850's.,, Mary born about 1835, Denis born about 1838, Ann born about 1839 and Daniel born about 1844. Daniel was my great grandfather. I know that some other of Nicholas and Mary,s children want to U.S.A, probably about the same time as the ones who came to Australia. I know I am living in hope, but it would be great if anyone knows of any of their descendants

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Do I have the right Mary?

« on: Wednesday 25 September 19 05:20 BST (UK) »

My third great grandfather, James Scott, married Mary Sparks in the Parish Church. Ringwood, June 21 1859.He was a widower, Yeoman from Pentridge, Dorset father, George,Yeoman. Mary a spinster from Ringwood. Father James, Labourer. Both were "full age" James died 1870 at Butts Ash Farm Hythe Southampton.James left Mary well provided for, including "my interest (if any) in the houses and premises at Bournemouth in the County of Southampton, which belonged to her before my marriage with her and with which I have never interfered" Mary died intestate in 1879. Her effects under 600 pounds. Her nephew, Henry Sparks of Ower near Romsey, Coachman, was granted Letters of Administration The only Mary Sparks I can see in the 1851 and 1861 census seems to be working as a maid in an hotel or similar. I am wondering how a maid with a Labourer father could have the property mentioned. Do I have the right Mary or is Mary the maid not mine I 2would be very grateful for any help Marg

Aberdeenshire / No Death Certificate

« on: Saturday 17 March 18 04:55 GMT (UK) »

I have twin sons born to one of my husbands ancestors. Both boys were given the name Andrew.One little fellow, born 30 minutes before his brother has a second name. His brother has only one name. On the 1901 census (Ancestry) there is one child, Andrew aged 6 years (born 1894) I cannot find a d.c. on Scotlands People for the other Andrew between 1894 and 1901. Is it possible he was stillborn or died at birth, therefore does not have a d.c.? or would there be some other reason ?. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Browsing around in the Church Wardens accounts for Wimborne Minster, I noticed several entries for "Bell and Cloth". Can somebody tell me what this means, please?.

« on: Tuesday 05 September 17 04:49 BST (UK) »

Wonder if somebody can help me, please. Family Search has Christening records for Elizabeth Scott (4 May 1823) and her sister Mary Ann (29 July 1827) in Colehill. It also has another record for the same girls, same date but the place is Wimbourne Minster. Can anybody explain this for me, please.

United States of America / Healy Family

« on: Sunday 04 June 17 07:28 BST (UK) »

I am looking for any descendants of Nicholas Healy and Mary nee Hogan.They were from County Clare Ireland. Four of their children, Mary, Ann, Denis and Daniel, migrated to Australia. We believe some went to America. This could have been sometime in the 1860's. I know this is a bit of a long shot, but I am hoping somebody may know something.
Regards to all

Tipperary / Place Name

« on: Wednesday 09 July 14 00:25 BST (UK) »

I have found a News Paper death notice for my great grandfather, (died 1919) which states he was born in Mullmahone, County Tipperary. Can anyone tell me about this place? I am wondering if it might be a misspelling.

Ayrshire / Two Alexander Pollocks

« on: Friday 16 May 14 22:45 BST (UK) »

I have Alexander Pollock. Born, probably Ireland abt 1806. His death cert says he died at Dipple Kirkoswald Ayrshire, 21 December 1890, aged 84. He was a casual labourer, married to Catherine Robertson. His parents, Alexander Pollock and Elizabeth Caddon. He is a brother to my g g grandfather William Pollock. There is another Alexander Pollock who married 1839, Catherine Nicol. He was a Weaver in Dipple and his parents Alexander Pollock and Elizabeth Quinn. Some trees on Ancestry seem to have mixed up the two Alexanders. To confuse things even more, the informant on "my Alexander's" death cert is "Alex Rowan son in law" This Alex appears to be married to the daughter of the second Alexander.Can anybody help me sort this out? Although the second Alexander and his family appear on the census from 1841 on, I can't find anything about "my Alexander"
