Sligo / Re: Kilhullen/Kilcullen in Co. Sligo?
« on: Wednesday 13 July 16 08:13 BST (UK)  »
Thanks everyone. Yeah, I posted a separate thread because I just wanted input as to whether it's likely that Kilhullen is actually Kilcullen. It seemed likely to me, but when doing this kind of research I don't want to assume anything if I can help it.

Hi,
Kilhullen is not in the rootsireland list of names.
Kilcullen is listed.
Using "exact spelling" there are 10 Mary Kilcullen with the father John, 1829 to 1899 born in Sligo.
If you let me know the approx. year, then I may be able to help.

The approximate year of birth for Mary is between about 1863 to 1868 (I have some conflicting info). Father is John Kilhullen and mother is Jane Linny (variant spellings). I lean more towards the 1863 estimate because it's based on her statement of age on her marriage license. The later estimate is based on the informant's info for her death cert. Thanks.

Sligo / Kilhullen/Kilcullen in Co. Sligo?
« on: Monday 11 July 16 05:55 BST (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

My great-great grandmother was born in Sligo, I believe. Her name was Mary, and her father's name as listed on her death cert. in Pennsylvania was John Kilhullen. She also had a sister Kathryn. My main question is about the name Kilhullen. I've looked around and I only seem to find the name Kilhullen in the U.S. I read a post by someone on another site saying that Kilhullen is a change in spelling of the name Kilcullen that happened after arrival in the U.S. Can anyone help me out on this? Should I be looking for records of Kilcullens in Ireland instead? There don't seem to be any Ireland records with the name Kilhullen that I can find.

Thanks for any help you can give. :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Trying to decipher place name
« on: Friday 04 March 16 12:09 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks, everyone. Finnure seems to make the most sense. One thing that was confusing me is that it looks like there is an 'h' after what looks like Finnure, and I also thought the F looked like a T haha.

I'm also not sure exactly who the Ditto would refer to, but I'm not all that worried about it. I suppose it could be useful somehow though. :)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Trying to decipher place name
« on: Friday 04 March 16 10:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone, I was hoping I could get a bit of help in deciphering the place name in this marriage record. The general location is Skreen and Dromard, Sligo, Ireland.

What I can make out is: "Patt McGarry of Sheeanemore to Catherine Boland of ??, Wit. Darbey ?? and Beesy Ditts(?)" I can't seem to figure out the specific location listed for Catherine Boland. Thanks for any help you can give.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering name

Thank you, I think that's right. I just looked it up and apparently Hester is a name (I've never heard it before, haha). Thank you both for the replies.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help deciphering name
« on: Monday 23 March 15 04:23 GMT (UK)  »
Hi everyone,

I ordered a death record and I am not able to decipher the writing in the "Mother's Name" field. I'm hoping someone here can give me a hand. Every possibility I think of is incredibly odd and doesn't sound like any kind of name I've heard of, or even like it would be a name. I've attached a picture of the relevant part of the document; hopefully the photo is of high enough quality. The photocopy I received isn't the highest quality in the first place, so that doesn't really help matters. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. :)

England / Re: Catherine Carey b. 1875 in England
« on: Sunday 31 August 14 03:22 BST (UK)  »
Just wanted to update that I finally acquired a copy of her death cert. It lists her parents as John Carey and Hannah Smith, both born in Ireland, with her being born in England.

US Lookup Requests / Moses McDonald of Philips, NY b. abt 1770 m. Mary Charlotte Weissenfels b. 1767
« on: Friday 04 July 14 13:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi, I'm looking for info on Moses McDonald. He married Mary Weissenfels, daughter of Frederick Henrich Weissenfels in Yorktown, NY in 1789. I do have a marriage record for them. Their daughter was Elizabeth McDonald, b. abt 1789, and she married John Hyatt.

I've inferred an approximate birthdate for Moses based on the three censuses I have for him (1800, 1810, 1820). He resided in Philips, Dutchess (later Putnam), New York. I believe, though I don't have confirmation, that his father was John McDonald and his brother was Aaron McDonald, both also of Philips. I inferred this relation based on their proximity to one-another in the 1800 census, so I may be mistaken.

I have contacted a couple of local history places for Philips and Yorktown, but have not received much of a response so far. Any advice or information would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You could get a free copy of the death certificate through the Family History Library photoduplication services - https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Photoduplication_Services
Thank you! I didn't know that even existed. Much appreciated. :)
