United States of America / Ellen and Sarah Lewin
« on: Monday 31 January 11 13:21 GMT (UK)  »
Don't know if anyone can help but Sarah Lewin was born in the Isle of Man in 1851 (her maiden name was Flinn).  She left for USA around 1876 after the death of her husband, Charles Lewin.  I believe I have found her on the 1881 New Jersey Census as a servant named Sarah Lewine in the home of Samuel Cooper in the city of Camden.   Her daughter Ellen (or Eleanor), born 1868 in the Isle of Man, also moved to the USA with Sarah's sister (another Ellen) and her husband, Philip Hanneberry (various spellings including Hanneborg).  Ellen is also listed on the 1881 census but in Philadelphia living with the Hanneberrys and shown as scholar and niece.

I can find no further trace of either mother or daughter and not sure where to look, possibly either or both married in USA.   I know Ellen's cousin Margaret Hanneberry married a Charles Wagner in Philadelphia.

Does anyone have any suggestions.    Lewin in this case is a Manx Gaelic name and not an Anglicization of Levin or Levine.

Many thanks

Dublin / Cooper family Bray County Dublin
« on: Monday 08 February 10 16:37 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I hope someone can help.  My great grandfather was Joseph Cooper from Bray, County Dublin and his father (according to the parish register on Joseph's marriage entry) was Frank Cooper a hostler from Bray.  I'm not sure whether hostler means inn keeper or a stable lad at an inn, probably the latter.  Has anyone any suggestions about how I would go about getting more information.  I would be so grateful.  I would love to get to Bray but it will probably be a couple of years before I will be able to do this, so any hints would be wonderful.

Many thanks

Down / FLINN, Blackaderry

Hi

I would be so appreciative if someone can help me!

I am trying to find information about Daniel Flinn who married Alice (Ally) Bannon.   The birth date for both is abt 1816.  They moved from County Down to the Isle of Man prior to 1851 as they are listed on IOM census for that year.  Both state their birth place as County Down and their oldest daughter, Alice, (aged 8 in 1851) was born in County Down.  He was a cattle dealer.   There is also a John Flinn listed (a pig dealer) who hailed from Ireland (no specific loction) not sure if he is a cousin/brother - although his children, Bridget and Michael were god parents to one of Daniel's grandchildren.

Any help pointing me in the right direction to dig deeper would be much appreciated (they were incidentally catholics)

Many many thanks for any suggestions.
Trudie
