Ireland / William Casey
« on: Friday 01 September 23 15:10 BST (UK)  »
Helping a person compile their family tree and we have gotten stuck on a direct ancestor.
Details are sparse but I think we have the correct wife from 1901/1911 Irish census plus marriage entry.

Person in question is William Casey.Below are what details we have so far.

Married April 1899 Dalkey Dublin to Elizabeth Behan.His fathers name is given as Thomas Casey.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1899/10381/5779526.pdf

Could find no likely birth entry that would fit.Nothing apart from the marriage entry.No deaths that might match .As regards his father find a death entry of a Thomas Casey which is a possibility perhaps
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1901/05729/4616912.pdf

Family lore says he was a soldier and the dates would suggest Boer War.
His wife is,we think, the Lizzie Casey on the 1901/1911 census below.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Kildare/Ballybrack/Gorteen/537702/

Again not definite.We think this may be her birth entry below from 1873.

https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1873/03175/2164532.pdf

His wife states married in 1901 and widowed by 1911(again assuming we have the correct person). We couldn't find her husband anywhere on 1901 census (her daughter Mary is living with grandparents here in 1901 )

Looking at Boer War stuff see a few William Casey deaths/missing but details are sparse and nothing jumps out.

Apologies for the long post but anyone any pointers,ideas or maybe we are on the wrong track and perhaps have mixed up some people.

Have found death entry for Elizabeth Casey nee Behan along with marriage entry for her daughter Mary Casey and we know these are the correct ones.

Ireland / RIC Service records
« on: Sunday 03 April 22 23:44 BST (UK)  »
Is it possible to find RIC service records on-line apart from UK Archives at Kew ?

The person I am interested in is Peter Joseph Joyce ,born Bagenalstown Co. Carlow 7th May 1892 .

He is on the 1911 census living (boarding ) in Ferns Co. Wexford as a post office clerk .

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Wexford/Ferns/Enniscorthy_Road_Upper/678082/

I vaguely remember finding something a few years ago that pointed to him joining the RIC but for the life of me cannot find it again .
I have been told that he died in WW1 but nothing in any list of WW1 Irish deaths looks even remotely likely .

Have had no luck finding either a marriage or death cert for Peter Joseph Joyce in Ireland either .

Essex Lookup Requests / Marriage Record Details
« on: Sunday 08 November 20 17:29 GMT (UK)  »
Wondering if anyone could help re. details on a marriage record.

Looking for details regarding the groom from a marriage recorded as January 1918 in Billericay ,Essex.
The parties were Philip Anthony Brennan and Dorothea Gladys Everitt.She was married previously I think in 1914 to a ? Farrell.Details were from an online tree so unsure if its the same person.

Am interested in the grooms details to confirm or reject him as the same Philip Anthony Brennan in my family tree.
"My" Philip Anthony Brennan was born 8th August 1895 in Dublin to James Brennan (policeman) and Catherine(Kate )Donovan and died 2nd December 1963  128 Woolstone Road Forest Hill London S E 23 and buried in Hither Green Cemetery on 6th December 1963.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Ancestry DNA Match
« on: Friday 28 February 20 21:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

Just looking for a little help/guidance re. DNA match's on Ancestry.

Have recently gone back to look at one particular group (90 or so matches) which ranges from 50cM to 8cM shared DNA.20 or so in the 30cM plus range.

It seems to be a closed group ie when I look at shared matches with any of them ,the same people come up time after time.
As none show a match to my mother's test would assume its on my fathers side.Have a good few confirmed matches 3rd/4th/5th cousins on all his lines (well back to 1800 or so as thats about the extent of Irish records)
All his family are/were from an area in Carlow ,Ireland less than 5 miles in any direction from where we still live.
None of this group show as a match to any known relative.

Annoying part is that all available trees(some very extensive but accurate?) show families all settled in the USA long before 1800 in most cases.None contain any names in my tree or even any remotely "Irish" sounding ones,All available details seem to indicate Texas,Mississippi,Alabama,Georgia Kansas area of the US.Also not one in this group seems to have any Irish connection whatsoever as far as I can see.
All bar one(87%) show as 10/20% ethnically Irish at most although this really indicates very little I think.

Have contacted a few but of those that responded none seemed to have any inkling and none had ever thought they had any Irish connection.
Started back on this as recently contacted someone who seems keen to figure it out if that is even possible.

Sorry for the long post but open to ideas etc.
By the way have DNA already uploaded to Gedmatch,My Heritage,FTDNA and same story with any matches there ie same people over and over as shared matches but no link to any known relative.

Tyrone / William O'Neill and Margaret Donnelly
« on: Friday 24 May 19 19:03 BST (UK)  »
Was just wondering if anyone was researching the above named couple.
William was born c.1844 in Desertcreight Dungannon Tyrone as far as I can ascertain whilst Margaret Donnelly was baptised 12 Aug 1847 in  Clonfeacle Dungannon, Tyrone.
Respective parents seem to be John O'Neill and Molly Doyle and James Donnelly and Jane Devlin.
The couple were married 31st January 1869 in Clonfeacle Co. Tyrone.

Children include;
James born 1869 in Dungannon.
Mary Anne born 1873 in Dublin.
John born 1875 in Dungannon.
Elizabeth born 1877 in Milltown Dungannon ,Tyrone
Hugh born 1883 in Milltown Dublin.
William born 1886 in Milltown Dublin.
Owen born 1888 in Clonskeagh Dublin.

William's profession seems to have been a blacksmith/metalworker/platelayer/spademaker.
cannot find definite death dates for either person as of yet.

This is the family on 1901 census;

Ireland / Connors/O Connor/Edmondson
« on: Monday 18 March 19 12:11 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for a little help with a person in a family tree a friend is compiling at the moment.

They only have a small bit of info. to go on so here's what he has got at the moment;
A photograph of an elderly lady with a grandchild and the inscription on the reverse states this person is a sister of their grandmother.Her married name is Edmondson and she died aged 71.The photograph has been in the family for years and the person who wrote the note on the back is long dead so ?

If this person is a sister of their grandmother this leaves two possible people,either;

Catherine Connors/O Connor-baptised 6th September 1867 in Bagenalstown/Dunleckney Parish Co. Carlow.
Mary Anne Connors/O Connor-baptised 28th May 1877 same Parish.
Address for both is Ballymoon ,Bagenalstown, Carlow and parents are Thomas Connors(1839-1916) and Elizabeth Fenelon (1844-?).

They have accounted for all the other siblings of their grandmother so the above two seem to be the only possibilities.From memory they believe that the lady in question emigrated from Ireland to either UK,USA or perhaps Australia.Neither woman appears on the 1901 census in the family home and no likely candidates can be found elsewhere on the 1901 census.
Nothing definite in Civil marriage or death records for Ireland either.
One possible on Ancestry family trees for Catherine(birth and death dates correct plus married to an Edmonson) has been ruled out as the person they are looking for.

Any help or ideas most appreciated.

United States of America / Patrick Brennan;died 23rd April 1914 in New York.
« on: Friday 14 April 17 10:05 BST (UK)  »
Was just wondering if anyone could help re. locating a marriage in the US,probably New York but not certain.

It concerns a Patrick Brennan whom I knew died in 1914 after emigrating to the USA but of whom I was unaware he ever married.
Found a record recently on Family Search giving the details of a Patrick Brennan(age 38) of 223 East 23rd St. who died 23rd April 1914 New York City, Richmond, New York, United States.It states his parents were Philip Brennan and Margaret Nolan.Born 10th November 1875 and that he was married.
Would be pretty certain that this person is the same one as in my tree.Correct parents,date of death same as memory card here.Only difference is birth as I have him born October 1871 from baptismal records in Dunleckney Parish Carlow.
Have had no luck re. a marriage with Irish records and the family search record has no attached image.
Was wondering if anyone could point me in any direction that might yield a record.Not really interested in pay sites as this is a distant relative and at this stage have much of my tree completed.

Thanks for reading.

Australia / Margaret Mullins(Mullen)
« on: Monday 01 August 16 13:21 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
Looking for a little help with a part of my family tree that has been a dead end for a long time.
Never had any luck with this particular part of my family history and was wondering if anyone more familar with Australian records/resources might be willing to take a look and help.

Have very little re. the person I am looking for,basically a name ,approximate age and a vague location.Not much to go on I know !!!!

Bit that I do know;
Margaret Mullins(Mullen) left Ireland for Australia and as far as I am aware never returned.She was a sister to my great grandmother who was born approx 1852 going by her marriage date(1872) age given on 1901 Irish census (49) and 1911 Irish census (66) and death cert from 1920 (68?)
According to family lore Margaret emigrated at a young age,lived in Brisbane and never married.Have a photo here that she sent back to Ireland to her nieces (not dated) and according to the stamp was taken at Ada Driver Studio Brisbane.
It shows a middle aged woman of about 60 or so.Going by her sisters approx. age she could have been born anywhere from 1840 to 1860 or so.

Problem is that I have no idea where in Ireland the sisters came from or their parents names.My great gran  married in Carlow, Ireland but her marriage entry gives no address or parents names and all children she had baptised include no Mullen/Mullins as a sponsor.
Only remotely plausible record hits come for a Mullins family in Waterford Ireland but these are of no great help to be honest.

Basically hoping someone might have a look at Australian records or maybe immigration records as I have had no luck here in Ireland.
Have a couple of threads on here in the Ireland forum previously regarding the same family;
