Kilkenny / swift family look up please
« on: Friday 12 January 07 15:01 GMT (UK)  »
hello,
      I am trying to find a Julia Janthe Swift [my great grandmother] I believe she was descended from Godwin Swift Esq of Swiftsheath Co Kilkenny, who was a descendant of Jonathan Swift author of 'Gullivers Travels'.
I have many names of Swift descendants, but can not fit her in.
She would have been born between 1850-1860 and she married Thomas Austin O'flaherty [doctor] who died in 1879.
They had a son Godwin Meade O'flaherty [no date of birth]
I would appreciate any information how ever small Thank you
                                     Mrs S A Foley

Hi Heywood
I have just returned from a weeks holiday in tenerife, hence the delay in replying. My local family history centre is only half an hour away, so I will visit as soon as possible armed with all the information I have. I have never been there before, so I don't know the procedure, but assume it is not to complicated.
Thank you for the web site you sent, I will look into that.
I printed out a form from groireland as you suggested, and sent off for a certificate about two weeks ago using my credit card details, but have had no response yet. As soon as I do, I will let you know the outcome. Thank you for your interest. Regards saf

thank you heywood for your reply,Thomas Austin who leased the plot ,was married to Julia Janthe Swift, so Julia Jane must be his sister.
Thank you also for the web site for certificates, I have sent off for one, and used my credit card details, hoping they will convert the money into euros. as I live in England.
I have tried to find a death entry for Thomas Austin O'flaherty, using all possible dates but it  keeps coming back as "no matches," maybe I am doing something wrong. Is there a site which lists wills to search?
Entering just the parents names, as you suggested, was a brilliant idea I had not thought of, stupid me! and I found the other possible links. Well this gives me something to ponder over, with your help, Thank you again        saf

Can anyone help me please, I have found an entry on the County Kerry site
BIRTH RECORDS CIVIL REGISTRATION FOR THE DISTRICT OF ANNASCALL 1864-1880 DINGLE PLU
O'flaherty Thomas George 14-05-1874
BIRTH PLACE TOWNLAND/PARISH Innisgour Minard
FATHER Thomas A O'flaherty medical doctor/Mary Dineen present at birth
MOTHER Julia Janthe Swift
The question is, how do I obtain the birth certificate.
ANOTHER DISCOVERY:-
On the same site GRIFFITHS AND LATER VALUATIONS MINARD CIVIL PARISH PUCKISLAND TOWNLAND DINGLE RURAL DISTRICT FHL 0840596
It lists Thomas A O'flaherty M.D. leased a plot of land Lough Barrenageeha in 1876
Julia Jane O'flaherty in 1877
Godwin Michael O'flaherty in 1888-1906
Could these last two be sister and brother of Thomas A O'flaherty do you think?
What do I do now with this information, help! saf

Kerry / o'flaherty help please

Can anyone help please with a look up in Kerry.
My grandfather Austin Romauld O'flaherty was born 1870 in Kerry,
His father was Thomas Austin O'flaherty
mother Julia Janthe Swift, [this information I got from the LDS site, no more information was given] I wrote to the Bishop of Kerry asking for permission to search the records there, over two months ago, [no reply] I need a birth certificate for Austin Romauld, and birth and marriage certificates for his parents. On Austin Romauld's marriage certificate it states that his father Thomas Austin was a doctor, if that helps. I live in England, so I don't know when I will be able to visit Ireland for a personel search. Thank you to any kind soul out there. saf
