Lancashire Lookup Requests / Preston/Cummins, Cummings
« on: Sunday 10 August 08 00:12 BST (UK)  »
We are looking for Margaret and Peter Cummins/ marriage certificate 1844.   Married at St. Wilfrid's RC Church, Preston. They lived on  Bedford Street, Preston.
Her father was William Kenny, Courier, Bedford Street, Preston
His father was Peter Cummins, Overlooker, Bow Street, Preston.
William was a Mechanic
Margaret was a cloth reeler.
They had two children:
William in 1846 my great grand father
 Peter      1849                                                           
We sent for another birth certificate for      Mary     1845
We don't think she came to the USA.  More children may exist.
 We found William and Peter on the US census and were able to go forward to 1930, etc.  They settled in Philadelphia, Pa and never left the area. 
We have hit a brick wall in Preston, Lancashire and can not, with our limited knowledge figure out how to find them. We called the Records Office and got nowhere.
Hope someone can steer me in the correct direction.
Thank you,
BillyC

Donegal / houston,huston,haston, dever
« on: Friday 08 August 08 23:56 BST (UK)  »
Wondering if anyone can help.  I'm looking for the Houston,(Huston, Haton) family from Donegal.  They may have been from Tyrone in the early 1800'S, but I can't find anything.
I have found that John Huston was born in abt 1845 to 1847 in either Donegal or Tyrone.
He married Mary Anne  Dever in  1867 in Ireland.
 He immig. in to USA in 1881 or 3.  He was a Moroccan finisher. 
His wife Mary immig. to US in 1885.
Four children born, 2 children lived
Son Henry born Sept 1867
Mary Therese born  born 1880. 
They left from Moville, Ireland on  the Cirassia and arrived in NY.
They lived their entire lives in Philadelphia, Pa.
 Andrew Dever and Henry Dever were listed as boarders. I think they were relatives of Mary Anne Dever Houston.
Mary Therese Huston(Hastin, Houston) was my grandmother.
I will be in Ireland in September and would love to be able to find something of my family.  I am working on it, but hit a brick wall in Ireland.............I did find a John Henry from Donegal.  Don't know if their is a connection.  He was born in 1885.  His mother is listed as Anne Osbourne.
Thank you in advance if someone can help,
BillyC
