Berwickshire / Re: Bleachfield Papermill - Ayton
« on: Friday 07 September 12 13:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi Terribynoe

What is your interests in the Martin's of Bleachfield?

There were two unrelated Martin families in Ayton in the 1800's. The Bleachfield Martin's had a long history in the papermaking industry which originated in Ireland.

Have you followed your Martin interests in the census returns? I could help if you would like?

There is a book of monument inscriptions for the Ayton cemetery. I don't know where you can get a copy but if you contact the Berwickshire Family History Scociety I am sure they will be able to help.

Do you have any connections with the Greig family of Ayton?

Regards

Jim

I have connections with the Dreher family who first appear in Derby c1835 with a marriage to Elizabeth Wathall. John Frederick Dreher (c1816-1853) was a pork butcher and all I know about his origin is that he came from "foreign parts" possibly Germany or Austria. My branch of the Dreher family moved to Salford/Manchester c1880.

Hi Brendan

I have a John Grumbley that may fit the bill but know little about him.

Born c1878 Died c1948 Mountmellick
In 1901 living he was living in Meelick, Meelick, Co Laois working as an Agricultural Labourer (1901 census - Meelick, Meelick, Co Laios)

I will speak with my mother-in-law to see if she knows more.

How are you related?

Regards

Is anyone researching the Grumbley/Grumley/Grumly family of Mountmellick/Meelick/Rosenalis/Cappabeg areas of Co Laios (Queens)?

Other (possible) connected families include O'Neill/Mahon/Kearney.

I would like to make contact and share information.

Thanks

Kilkenny / Butler's of Cloghpook, Kilkenny
« on: Tuesday 21 September 10 23:36 BST (UK)  »
I would like to hear from anyone who may be researching this family.

Known marriages and associated families are:
1929 Michael Butler & Mary Byrne - Tullabrin, Kilkenny
1877 Patrick Butler & Bridget Brennan - St.Johns, Kilkenny
1829 Michael Butler & Catherine Donnelly - St.Johns, Kilkenny
This branch of the Butler's has a 300 year plus association with a small farm in Cloghpook.

I have checked the 1901 & 1911 census and spent a small fortune looking for records on the RootsIreland web site.

Ideas for additional avenues for research would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Jim

Hi Carol

Based on the census returns I have the following parishes:

All Saints - 1841
St Werburgh - 1851/1861
St. Peters - 1871/1881/1891/1901
St. Johns - 1901

Does this help?

Thanks

Jim
