Lancashire / Churches in Walton on the Hill, Lancashire
« on: Thursday 19 August 21 09:57 BST (UK) »
I have a marriage certificate (from the General Registry Office) between John Parks and Agnes Kavanagh:
27 May 1884 St James' church, Walton on the Hill - married by Banns.
I wanted to see if more information was available in the Parish records but can only find St Mary's church in or near that parish.
Can anybody clear up this mystery for me?

Dublin / Re: Daniel Daly & wife Julia Kavanagh

I think that, at this stage, we can only regard this as 'tenuous' - although my father told me of oral tradition that the family was supposed to be emigrating to the USA but Mary (nee Mooney) was so travel-sick crossing to Liverpool that they decided to stay in England. How valid this is, I do not know.
Anyway, perhaps you can help me make sense of your sentence "His son's married a Mary Mooney, son of Patrick, son of Timothy, son of Timothy. " Do you mean daughter of Patrick, son of Timothy, son of Timothy??
The Kavanagh family moved to Liverpool some time after 1866 and before 1871, because the youngest daughter was born in Dublin 1866 and the family was in Liverpool at the time of the 1871 Census.

Fife / Re: 1841 Census lookup - James Fraser, Markinch, Fife
« on: Thursday 15 February 18 08:35 GMT (UK) »
I have spent many years (and rather a lot of money) trying to trace ancestors of James Fraser, who died 1880 (aged 59) in Gainsboro, Lincolnshire (i.e. d.o.b. ~1821). He joined West Suffolk Police in February 1845, but there is no service record showing his place of origin. His marriage certificate (1856) gives his father as James Fraser, blacksmith (presumably alive, because James’ wife cites her father as deceased). Both parties are "of full age".
The 1851 Census of Gainsboro states that he was born
, Fifeshire. Much peering at the image (inverting to negative, sharpening etc.) led to me deciphering the as Falkland – although "Forfarian" thinks it is Scotland.
I found Falkland, but found no James Fraser there in the 1841 Census. Genuki suggested searching Abernethy. Not knowing much about Scottish counties, I found James Fraser, blacksmith and son James in Abernethy and Kincardine (Nethy Bridge). My search of Scotland’s People (SP) 1841 Census could find no other James who was a blacksmith and lived with a son James, both of a likely age. Hence, I believed I had found the correct family.
FreeCen tells me that Fifeshire 1841 is 100% online – however, a search for James Fraser (the father) gave 2 families but no blacksmith.
I have no other information about the Scottish branch. The James in Gainsbro had children:
Mary Jane; Margaret; Margaret Jane; Elizabeth; Anne; John William; James; Clara Jane and Alexander.
His wife was Hannah and her parents were James and Clarissa.
I don't know whether these chidlren's names are of any help in finding the Scottish branch.

Moray (Elginshire) / Re: James Fraser mar Margaret Grant 12 Mar 1808 Abernethy & Kincardine
« on: Tuesday 13 February 18 09:39 GMT (UK) »
I can't find any of them in Libindx. In 1861, James's son was a police superintendent in Lincolnshire, born Falkland, Fifeshire. This is next to Abernethy in Fifeshire, which became Abernethy & Kincardine. His father was given as James, a blacksmith (on his marriage cert.). Extensive searches found the only James, blacksmith with a son James of the correct age was in Nethy Bridge in 1841 and 1851.
James' (blacksmith) christening was found 29 July 1784 in Abernethy & Kincardine (Scotland's People searches).

Moray (Elginshire) / James Fraser mar Margaret Grant 12 Mar 1808 Abernethy & Kincardine
« on: Tuesday 13 February 18 08:29 GMT (UK) »
James was a blacksmith - parents Donald and Mary (nee Davidson). Donald was a taylor when James married, but described as a farmer when James died (1867)
Looking for any relatives/information on maternal and paternal sides. Have James and family in 1841 census of Nethy Bridge

Thank you, once again, Dathai. Now that I have actually perused the link, I see that there were several other children. I think that I may have found the baptism of Michael (the father) in the register of St Michael & St John. 20 Apr 1823 Father: Michael Mother: Esther Hannigan
I should probably search the registers around the pro-Cathedral for Thomas
