Hi again Alan,

Re Susanna, I have been able to pin down a little more about the coronor's involvement.  It was reported in the local newspaper on 10 Nov. 1832.  She was found dead in bed and the verdict was 'a visitation of God'.  Nothing sinister, which is actually a relief.

Carlow / Re: Annie Lawler

Hi
Shane, we have been looking through the list to see who would be the most likely line to follow.  Quite honestly we are bamboozled.  I think that we need to try to nail down some information from people in the family in Ireland.  Alas, we will not be going there until September.

In the meanwhile that is not a lot we can do.  We will gather the few facts we have together into a folder and use this as an aide memoire to show to family in Carlow.  Other than that, given the reluctance we have met to pass information, there is little we can do but to put the matter onto the shelf until we arrive.

We do appreciate the help, and realise that we are starting off with so little information that we are lookiing for a needle in the proverbial haycock.

Carlow / Re: Annie & * Lawler

Hi Shane - tell me about it!  I am working on what little I have, but being in the South of France doesn't make research easy.  I was lucky to find the family grave where they are commemorated.  But I expect to be in Ireland on my annual pilgrimage to my family's graves and will be doing some on the spot searching  in Carlow too.  I also have made a contact there who is looking out for me.

I reckon I have too little to go on to bother Australia at this point; and need to find out more in Ireland first so as to have some hope of locating Annie.  Annie is family and particularly dear to my partner - hence the interest.

Carlow / Re: Annie & * Lawler
« on: Thursday 07 February 13 16:58 GMT (UK)  »
HI Aghadowey,

Sorry.  I didn't make it clear.  My interest is in Annie only.  I mentioned * only because she was/is a twin.  In fact, I have reason to believe that * is also dead.  She and Annie are both commemorated (first names only) on a stone in Rathvilly cemetery.

I thought that Carlow was the place to start because I have no information about Annie in Australia, other than that she is buried in Sydney.  She may have married and her name may have changed.  I reckoned it was more likely that someone in Carlow might have information bearing on this.

If, however, you feel I am stretching the rules, I will happily fall into line with what you suggest.  Please advise me.

Carlow / Annie Lawler
« on: Thursday 07 February 13 16:18 GMT (UK)  »
Annie and * Lawler were twins and seem to have come from Rathvilly.   Sometime in the late(?) 1940s/early 1950s they emigrated to England, and then to Australia.  Annie died there about 12 years ago and is buried in Sydney.  Her sister, I believe, was still living as of two years ago. 

I would like to find out, if possible where Annie is buried and perhaps get a photo of her grave.  Carlow seems to be the best place to start the search.  Can anyone help with information, please?

Thanks Pennie for that very useful information.  I will pursue that on the link you have so kindly included.

Oxfordshire / Oxon Marriage Index
« on: Tuesday 05 February 13 21:12 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to get information, please, on Susanna(h) King (maiden name unknown) married to Joseph King (b. 1767 Dorchester on Thames).  The marriage may possibly have taken place in Marsh Baldon.  As their first child was born in 7 November 1802, presumably they were married before that date.

I would be especially interested in knowing Susanna's maiden name and the date of the marriage, if this were possible.

Joseph's parents were Joseph and Lewis (Lois?  Louise? - difficulty in transcription) King.  Anything that would clarify Lewis's name and give their dates would be welcome too.

The King family lived in Dorchester on Thames

Can anyone help, please?

Oxfordshire Lookup Requests / Joseph King n.1767 Dorchester on Thames
« on: Tuesday 05 February 13 14:34 GMT (UK)  »
Joseph King (I) b. abt 1767 d. abt 1857.  Spouse Susanna....

Their son Joseph (II) b. 1807- 1811, d. unknown - pre 1851?  m. Mary Richings 24 Sept 1833  Mary's d.o.d. is unknown

I am as certain as one can be about the details of the first Joseph(I)'s birth and death dates.

My questions arise about his wife Susanna.  I have nothing but the name.  It looks as though he married at about 39 or 39.  The first born, Joseph (II) in the period 1807 - 1811 suggests that Susanna may have been quite a bit younger than her husband.  I assume they would have married in Dorchester, but cannot be sure of this.  Any information on her would help to fill in the gaps in this part of my tree, so would be much appreciated.  I cannot get to Dorchester so easily as I live in furthest France.

I have a further question.  Could someone please let me have the exact location of the graveyard Dorchester with Burcot.  I was kindly given a plan of the actual burial ground with family graves clearly indicated by a member here, but on a visit to Dorchester last April, I was unable to locate the graveyard.  There does not appear to be a church in Burcot.  Subequently I looked at Google Earth and Michelin on line, but could not find it.

Help, please.

Dublin / Re: where was gaffney/caffrey estate located dublin.?
« on: Sunday 03 February 13 23:09 GMT (UK)  »
Within the past week or so, I was reading on a Dublin chat site that McCaffreys Estate was built about 1917. 

Just thought this might be of interest.
