Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Eastville Workhouse Bristol
« on: Tuesday 11 February 14 23:28 GMT (UK)  »
Apparently my Great Grandmother was in the Eastville Workhouse in Bristol, her name was Miriam (or Marion or Meriem) Rosser and she was born on the 21/05/1869 so she was about 42.
she died in 1925-and so I think she was in the workhouse because she was ill, as her husband and younger kids were living as Boarders somewhere else and her two elder girls were in a "girls home" in Bristol, I'd love to know more if anyone has access to any records.....

Thanks again, the familysearch website is great-so many sites charge for anything but the most basic info!
I will check out Ellis island again-

I did check ellis island but I couldn't find the one relative I knew had emigrated at that time (John) I found out later that the other siblings also emigrated-via Ancestry.com and a lady from Ancestry.com who searched chicago census and old newspapers for me-but I will have another look on the ellis island site.

Hi there, thanks for your reply, I'm not sure if that's "my" James-where is Castlebar-is it near Canbrack or Kiltimagh?
Its so difficult when the names are so common!
Can you search for free or is there a fee or do you have to order the certificate?
I have ordered an irish certificate before, years ago, so it was all done by phone-but luckily I had the exact birth date and parents names.

Mayo / Kellys, Connells, McDonnells In Canbrack/Kiltimagh/Mayo
« on: Sunday 14 October 12 17:41 BST (UK)  »
My g grandfather was a James Kelly-born around 1868-he married Bridget Connell and they had (I think) 11 children 9 of whom survived.
Most seemed to go to the USA between 1910-1928-my grandfather seems to be the only one that came to Liverpool.
I have not found a James Kelly (junior) that was born around 1892-Mary, Thomas, Patrick, Anne, Martin, John and Bridget (or Bridie) seem to all have gone to Chicago or Hoboken in New Jersey.
Any info on any of these-especially James jr would be great.
Bridget connells sister Jane also went to the USA.
Also McDonnells are connected to the Kelly family-cousins-ome of whom came to the UK/Liverpool.

Mayo / Re: Parish records - Kelly from Kiltimagh
« on: Sunday 14 October 12 17:16 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather was James Kelly from Kiltimagh but not the same one as he was born around 1868 and died there in 1948. His son, my grandfather Daniel came to Liverpool, another 7 siblings went to the USA-never know, there might be a connection.....
