That is wonderful, Marienne, thank you.

Margaret is my great-grandfather's youngest sister. I've been searching for her for years.

Thank you, again.

Isle of Man / Re: Eleanor M Peel (possibly neé Acheson)
« on: Thursday 07 February 13 20:41 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for your replies.

No, I'm afraid I don't know where she was born. All the US Census I've seen state Isle of Man. They did not marry in Ireland so I presume they married somewhere in the US. I've been through the marriage sources for Philadelphia, PA, on Family Search with no success so I must widen my search. They had no children.

Isle of Man / Eleanor M Peel (possibly neé Acheson)
« on: Thursday 07 February 13 19:23 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for an Eleanor (aka Nellie) M (maiden name unknown as yet) who married Robert Peel (from Dublin, Ireland) c1890. They lived in Philadelphia, PA, USA but Eleanor was a native of the Isle of Man. 

According to the US Census she was born November 1868 and the closest match I can find is an Eleanor Margaret Acheson born 29 November 1868 Mt Vernon, Douglas, IOM.

Her parents were Thomas Acheson (gardener) & Eleanor Acheson (née McGregor).

Is anyone else researching this Acheson family? Did any family members emigrate to the USA?

Thank You!

Dublin / Re: Catherine(Kathleen) Burbridge
« on: Thursday 08 December 11 21:09 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching the name Borbidge (and variants).  My 5x Great Grandparents were Frances Borbidge and Andrew Webb.  They married before 1800.  All their known children were born in Co. Wicklow apart from my 4x Great Grandmother, Jane Webb, who may have been born in Dublin as she was baptised in 1801 in St. Paul's Church of Ireland Parish, Dublin, so there may have been a Dublin connection.

I guess we don't match... My William Brownrigg was married to Alice Nickson/Nixon. She was of Co. Wicklow, he of Wexford. Sorry about that. I got my families mixed up- Alice's sister married someone from Co. Wicklow. I have other Brownriggs- these are the names they married into: Borbridge, Sherwood & Bradley. Some of my Brownriggs from Co. Wicklow: Henry, John, Mary Brass Sherwood, Samuel. Any of these familiar? Judy

I am researching Borbidge (and variants) in Co. Wicklow and Dublin.  My 5x Great Grandparents were Frances Borbidge and Andrew Webb who married prior to 1800.

Wicklow / Webb Family of Co. Wicklow
« on: Sunday 12 June 11 13:47 BST (UK)  »
I am researching Webb in Co. Wicklow. 

My 4x Great Grandmother, Jane Webb, married William Usher in 1829 at Killiskey Church of Ireland, Co. Wicklow.  It is possible, though, that she was born c1807 in the Parish of Aghold, Co. Wicklow.

One of the witnesses at the marriage was a Henry Webb, who may have been her father or brother.

William Usher was from Newcastle Parish, Co. Wicklow.

Hi Lorna

I remembered coming across your refereces to the Bond Street/Robert Street /prices row area of Dublin, where my ancestors lived too, some time ago so thought of you today when I  found (on irishgenealogy.ie) a record of a Martha Peel marrying a Mr Seberry, one of them with an address in Bond Street. The Seberrys remained friendly with my ancestors for generations so the Bond Street address  back in the 19th century perhaps explains the origin of the friendship.  This Mrs Martha Seberry ended up living with her single daughters as neighbours of my grandparents on the South Circular Road in Dublin  (the Seberrys lived in what is now Number 600 South Circular Road) until her death in approx the 1950s  I'm not sure if any of the Seberrys had children - perhaps the line died out.  One of Mrs Seberry's sons was a cooper in Arthur Guinness and sons and I suspect  Mr Seberry Snr was too

So another link for your tree

Many thanks!  :)
