That's interesting! Ainsworth's profession is listed as 'policeman' on his son John's marriage to Mary Rigley in 1904...

Hi Glenn

Good to 'meet' you and thanks for the information!

I also came to the conclusion that the Ainsworth name may have come from the North – it seems very rare down south. Such a pity that the early records for Carlow are so scarce!

I would just love to see a photo of the place – (*) Moderator Comment: e-mail removed in accordance with RootsChat policy,to avoid spamming and other abuses.

I subsequently discovered that Isabella (c. 1857 – 1889), was an illegitimate daughter of Ainsworth's, but she seems to have had a close relationship, as your great-grandfather John was noted on her death record.

I'm based in South Africa, so doing all my research on the internet, which can be frustrating – I'm sure that if I had access to the church records I could dig up a lot more!

Regards, Jo

Who are you looking for in Fenagh?


I have, by an extreme stroke of luck, found a certified copy of an entry in the 'Register of Baptisms from the parish of Fenagh in the county of Carlow' that was used for a British Civil Service proof of age document.

The entry is for the brother of my 2nd great grandmother, Anne Dillon, and lists the birth and baptism of Nathaniel Dillon, born 9 May 1845, baptised 8 June 1845, son of Thomas and Eliza Dillon, farmer residing at Ballyknockan, baptised by H S King.

It has taken me years to find any records relating to this family, since the Fenagh records do not seem to be transcribed on any sites, and I live in South Africa.

So I'm looking for any records relating to this family, especially the birth of daughter Anne around 1840/1 (she married in 1862, and from that I know her father was Thomas Dillon, her brother Nathaniel was a wItness), and any other siblings. Of course, the marriage of parents Thomas and Eliza would be fantastic to find, as I don't know Eliza's maiden name.

Any help would be appreciated...

Kind regards, Jo Hugo

Wow! Thank you so much! I had traced Nathaniel through his marriage to Lucy Connor(s) (Inez was a mis-transcription of Lucy on the 1871 census record!) and the births of his children John (who may have died in 1884 in Carlow age 18) and Elizabeth, to his death in 1887 in London – but i hadn't found his son Thomas, or what had happened to Lucy. I will check up her sister Ellen's records to make sure she was also a Connor.

All the records you have found stack up – with the names of the children especially. Thomas may have been born in late 1871 in Shoreditch, where they were in the 1871 census (there are loads of births to choose from).

Thanks a million – I would probably never have found those...

Kind regards, Jo

My questions are: do these records still exist, and, if so, where are they kept and how can one access them?

They appear to be Church of Ireland records.

Any help would be appreciated...

hi barb

thanks for that.

yes, i had found that particular William KAVANAGH and his wife Anne. they baptised five (possibly six) children in Rathvilly between 1799 and 1810, but sadly no Ainsworth or Isabella among them. so, although they remain a possibility as parents of Ainsworth, i have no tangible link...

the search continues!

hi 'rathmore' and barb

thanks for the suggestions...

barb, i have been through the JAMES threads, and have as much information as i can find there.

'rathmore', i have the information for Ainsworth KAVANAGH / CAVANAGH from familysearch.org regarding marriage, birth of daughter and death, as well as griffith's valuation / land – but am missing his birth record or information on his parents (other than that his father was a William KAVANAGH / CAVANAGH – there are a few possibilities) and any info. on other siblings... it would be particularly good to discover his mother's name.

kind regards, jo
