Armagh / A distillery in Lurgan 1804
« on: Thursday 11 April 13 12:24 BST (UK)  »
I have just found an 1804 newspaper advert for the sale of a distillery outside of Lurgan, owned by a Joseph Hall. The advert indicated that the distillery produced large quantities of whisky.
Is there a source I could use to find out more about  the distillery?

Thanks,

Dublin / Re: "Desmond" Sandy-mount Ave Dublin in 1932?

 Well thats interesting. Hubby died in 1934, and  I thought that she pre-deceased him.
Hmm. Thanks very much for bringing it to my attention! Another loose end...  ???

Clare / 19th and 20th century newspapers from Clare - online?

I am looking for some obituaries from the 19th and early 20th century.
Are there any online newspaper archives that I can access?
Cheers

Ireland / Re: Joseph Dexter died 1893-1911, but where?

Thanks for your help. My tree already has a few dead ends, this might just have to be another one.
On the bright side I have SO much more than I did a couple of weeks ago, its all wonderful.

no sign of that Joseph that I can find on the 1901 census - so think he's the one that died.

worth try - we ruled out a possible match. So barring serious indexing error it seems to me that there's no death in Ireland, England or Wales. You need access to ScotlandsPeople website (subscription) to to check deaths in Scotland.

marriage cert may only say 'full age'... so 21 or over...

I have looked at the clare library resources, but I only found  him in the directories.
I dont think the Clare Champion is available online, I will investigate online access to the irish times.

I had discounted that chap because of 1891  :-\
Is there no help available from Clare resources? You would imagine that there would be an obituary in his own place?

Thanks, I have only guessed at Joseph's D.O.B, assuming that he was about the same age as Annie.  i will have to wait to confirm his age on his marriage cert. Once that is done I will be in a better position to identify him on a death cert. I will have to write off for the marriage cert soon!

I had a look earlier at FreeBMD for deaths between 1890 and 1901 - I think most of the ages at death dont work out ...some are young children, most seem to be too young to be your Joseph

The only older entry is this one...

  Quarter/Year : Sep 1899   
  Name : Joseph Dexter
  Age : 78    (c1821)
  Registration district : Kettering   
  Volume : 3b    / page : 111    

Kettering registration district is in Northamptonshire, and seems to be located north-west of Northampton - could possibly be on the way between London and Hollyhead ...

OK, I will clutch at the straw and see where it leads me! Thanks again,

directory entry could be slightly out of date... have to clutch at straws with this guy!

plus the location is so close to Fulham, where Annie is mentioned living in 1900

As he is registered with Thoms as still living in 1899 this couldnt be him, could it?

re-read your 1st post in this thread...

....born in Fintra sometime around the 1840s...

so add this death :

  Quarter/year : Mar 1895   
  Name : Joseph Dexter   
  Age : 54    (c1841)
  Registration district :  Wandsworth     (London)
  Volume : 1d / page: 523

Gerald, 14 yrs is a visitor in Fulham in 1901 in the home of John C Cormack.
...

p.s. Wandsworth is only about 2 miles south of Fulham...

 We can narrow it down to a two year period 1899-1901.
I'm afraid I have no idea about English geography, so the English locations mean nothing.
I appreciate your advice!

The freebmds website covering England as far as they have gone have death dates for several Joseph Dexter between 1893-1913, allowing for the approx. age , the locations were Barrow , Boston, Kettering,Loughbro, Northampton, Nottingham, Poplar, Rugby, Wandsworth. Could your  Dexter be one of them?
