Carlow / Re: Carlow to Dublin
« on: Tuesday 18 July 17 22:44 BST (UK) »
Thanks Elwyn. That's very interesting, and sounds more likely.
I shall have to do some investigating to see if the dates fit. I did not know about the Grand Canal at all so this is a big help. Thank you.

Have done a little digging. The Athy Heritage Centre website says the link to Dublin from Athy opened in March 1791 and the journey time was 13hours, or less if 'fly boats' were used. This has to be the answer, so thanks for the pointer.

Carlow / Carlow to Dublin
« on: Tuesday 18 July 17 22:19 BST (UK) »
Hi
On 25th May 1803 an ancestor (in a party of 12) hired a boat to journey from Carlow to Dublin. Would I be right in assuming their journey would have been down the River Barrow to the coast and then by sea to Dublin? They appear to have arrived in Dublin either that same day or the next day, because they set off from Dublin on the 27th.
Any comments on this will be most welcome.

Warwickshire / Re: Sanitary ware manufacturers in the Birmingham area?
« on: Wednesday 06 February 13 08:48 GMT (UK) »
Don't just limit your search to sanitary ware manufacturers. Consider also distributors of sanitary ware such as plumber's merchants.
For example, A.D. Foulkes Ltd were a firm of plumber's and builder's merchants based in Birmingham with branches across the Midlands, from the 1900s through to the 1970s. They sold sanitary ware (hand basins, high level toilet cisterns, urinals etc) bearing their brand name, but I do not think they actually made these items themselves.

Hi - Does anyone know exactly where 'The Green' was at Mosborough, Derbyshire? I cannot find it on Old Maps. I suppose I am really looking for the original centre of the village.
Thanks

Caernarvonshire / Re: Penlan Chapel, Pwllheli
« on: Wednesday 20 January 10 22:46 GMT (UK) »
Hello listers
Does anyone know if the registers for this chapel have been deposited at the record office, or are available for the public to consult at all, and if so where? In particular I'm looking for a baptism about 1883.
Regards,
Joe
