Cavan / Re: Farrell Shannon

Apologies for my long delayed reply. Computer problems now sorted sufficiently for me to get online again.
Thank you very much Christopher and Pat for your replies. Both very interesting to me and Farrell's marriage info looks very promising indeed. Many thanks again.

Paddy.

Cavan / Farrell Shannon
« on: Saturday 12 November 05 14:55 GMT (UK)  »
Has anyone come across my Grandfather, Farrell Shannon, in Cavan between approx 1856 and 1900? His parents are believed to have lived in Cavan (exact location unknown) and he served in other counties in the Royal Irish Constabulary until 1900. Then he moved to Mayo and married Eleanor Charlotte Gray, his second wife. We know nothing of his first wife and family but we believe that Farrell's father was Robert Shannon. Any information would be most welcome.

Flintshire / Williams of Holywell
« on: Monday 19 April 04 22:06 BST (UK)  »
Holywell, Flintshire is believed to have been the birthplace of my 2nd Great Grandfather, Thomas Williams, in 1818. His parents were William Williams and Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) and we think Thomas had a brother named Charles. Thomas described himself as a "smith" by occupation.

Thomas married Sarah Gerrard in 1845 in Chester and they died there in 1883 and 1886 respectively, leaving a son, George Henry Williams, who was born in 1847 in Chester and who married Martha Ellen Urmston.

Flintshire was not short of William Williams's at the end of the 18th Century, and to make matters worse several of them married an Elizabeth. Does anyone recognise the family described here?

Paddy.
