Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Re: Kominsky family from Grodno

Ah yes sorry it was the 1921 census.
I had searched the GRO and have the details of the various spellings of the mother's maiden name.
I have tracked most of the family forward but it is the back history I am trying to find.

Yes that is the family. They went on and had a few more after 1911.

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Kominsky family from Grodno
« on: Friday 16 September 22 17:21 BST (UK)  »
Elijah Kominsky (b. 1871) came to England between 1903 and 1907 with his wife and family.
From the 1911 Census it shows he was born in Astryna and his wife and first few children were born in Grodno.
Any ideas of how to trace records back into Grodno?
Thanks.

1936 would still be someone from the Smythe family, probably one of the daughters.

I am trying to locate where Shedogue is, I believe it is near the village of Ballylinan, but can anyone be more precise?
Thanks.

The Lighter Side / Re: WDYTYA Live - End of an era.

I have been to the show once in London and three times in Birmingham, the NEC was the better venue. The most popular aspects of the show was the talks and the ability to talk with other like minded people. Perhaps the numbers that fitted into the theatres were not big enough to attract more people. Also the vision of the screens could have been better. The military section allowed me trace exactly where my father was shot in Burma in WW2. It is surprising that the show has been running at a loss perhaps the sponsors could have done more to support the costs. I think there is still a family history show in Dublin in October at the RDS, similar style talks go on there.

Laois (Queens) / Nolan Family
« on: Friday 02 September 16 11:42 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather Michael Nolan was married on the 12 Jan 1890 to Mary Ann Toole in Dalkey from the marriage certificate I can see his fathers name is also Michael Nolan and one of the witnesses was a John Nolan.
It was not until I saw the parish record of the event that I found that this showed both parents for Michael being Michael Nolan and Mary Robinson and they lived in the Lucan area of Dublin. The address for John Nolan was also given as Eskey, Lucan.
I then searched the 1901 and 1911 census and found a Mary Nolan (widow) living with two daughters Mary and Catherine.
I also found John with his wife and family on the 1901 census and have obtained their marriage certificate from which I have found his parents to be Patrick Nolan and Rose Caulfield. From the age shown on the census is John a brother to Michael or a cousin?
I have not been able to find a marriage for Michael Nolan and a Mary Robinson but I have found a marriage to an Anne Robinson on the 19 April 1856 in Arles, Killabin, is this the same person?
I have found 7 baptism records for Michael Nolan and Anne Robinson but is this the same family? Children from baptism records being James (b1858), John (b1862), Michael (b1865), Christy (b1868), Mary (b1870), unknown male (b1864), William (b1873).
Michael Nolan was baptised on the 1 September 1865, parish shown as Arles, I have also found the Civil Birth record showing he was born 26 August 1865 parish shown as Ballylinan.
A William Nolan married a Kate Robinson on the 25 August 1859 in Arles Killabin, is this the same family? This would make William an uncle to my Michael.
The 1911 census shows Mary as a widow but she states she was married for 32 years and had 7 children.
If anyone recognises any of this to confirm it is the same family I would appreciate any feedback.
