Thanks for that Jack
The Daniel Gorman that died in October 1917 is the one i am interested in
I think that would be my great grandfather
Two little problems though
Firstly the ages don't correlate with the 1901 or 1911 census or is that usual
(its Daniel Gorman house no. 8 Clonaheen o Moreforest  in 1901 and Domhnall o Gormain house no.4 same address in 1911 )100 per cent certain on that being the correct family as there were more than one family of Gormans in Clonaheen
Secondly his wife Mary nee Dunne is buried in the C of I graveyard in Rosenallis (i think)
Are the church records available for Rosenallis as i would be interested in tracing both the Gorman and Dunne  sides back further if possible (assuming with your knowledge of the graveyard you either have an interest in the area or are local)
If you think you can help me further or point me in the right direction then pm me and we can exchange phone nos.(presume that's allowed)

London and Middlesex / Re: Philip Brennan London

Hi
Thanks for that
Questions questions questions.
Is(was) the London Gazette an official paper or a regular newspaper ?
I presume that list of names are just civil service appointments, promotions etc
Are electoral rolls searchable in the UK ?
Where would i look for info regarding marriages births deaths etc ?
Thanks again

London and Middlesex / Philip Brennan London
« on: Saturday 07 May 11 02:32 BST (UK)  »
I am new to this family tree business  so am looking for a few guidelines
Looking to trace and or find out about the above named Philip Brennan and his descendants
The sum of my knowledge is as follows;
Philip Anthony Brennan was born about 1895 to Philip Brennan of Ratheadon Bagenalstown Co Carlow
Had brother Joe who died in Ratheadon Carlow in 1968
Two sisters i think Brigid and  Kathleen (Cahill)
He appears on the 1911 census living in Ballymacasy Lislaughtin Co Kerry with his father and stepmother
What i do know is that he lived and worked in the UK for most of his life (as far as i know it was in the civil service)
He was married and had at least one son (possibly Joe or Joseph)
He died on 2ND of December 1963 and is buried at Hither Green cemetery private grave  Z Z 118
His last address was 128  Woolstone Road Forest Hill London S E 23
One last thing; I remember seeing a photo of him taken outside Buckingham Palace dressed in top hat and tails after receiving some award or other (he appeared to be 60 plus in the photo)
That's about all i know so i would appreciate any help and maybe the mods would decide if this or another forum would be best (just to say that the Carlow forum would be of no use as i live there and there are none of those Brennans left there and all the local knowledge is contained above
Thanking you in anticipation
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or make suggestions as my info is very limited and all help is appreciated

Looking for some help to trace descendants of Matthew McDonald born  about 1908 in Annamoe Portarlington Co Offaly (Kings County)son of Patrick McDonald(McDonnell) and Mary Jane Cronley  both from near Rosenallis co Laois
He emigrated to America as a young man and died in new york on January 26 1965
He married an Anne McGovern (from Cavan i think) and had sons called (*) and (*).
A granddaughter visited us in Carlow in the late eighties/early nineties and i think she had a brother in the air force stationed in Europe or Turkey
If any of the above makes sense or rings a bell then please reply
thank you

Cheers and thanks for that .All that was very relevant
the first James  was my great great grandfather
Anne (nee healy) was his wife
the rest would all be family i think
maria (Mary ?) cronley died 29 05 1934 according to her memory card so it looks like the headstone is incorrect
thanks for the speedy reply
would be very interested in any records or info re. rosenallis  as my maternal grandfather was from clonaheen (gorman)  maternal great grandfather from mullaghnard (McDonnell or McDonald ) maternal great grandmother from drummond (cronley)
one confusing (annoying )bit is that mcd........s are listed on census and headstones as McDonnell but everywhere else they call themselves McDonald

just looking for some info on the surname Cronley as it seems to be unusual
In the 1901 census there appears to be less than forty in ireland
The family i am interested in lived in drummond rosenallis at this time
As far as i know the male line died out and the daughters married a feeney and McDonnell
thanking you in anticipation

« on: Friday 06 May 11 14:32 BST (UK)  »
looking for any help tracing descendant of patrick Byrne (sometimes o Byrne)
he was born march 1875 in Seskin co carlow to timothy and Ellen (nee mullins)  Byrne
In the 1901 census he is stationed in ferns co Wexford
doesn't seem to appear in the 1911 version (at least not as an Ric man)
he died early November 1951 at summerhill terrace waterford funeral mass in the cathedral  and was buried in ballygunner cemetery
according to the obit. in the evening news of November 8 he reached the rank of sergeant in the Ric
he was survived by his widow Margaret and son timothy o Byrne cousins Mr and Mrs Michael dower and David o Rourke Clonmel and nephew Denis Nolan Augha carlow (son of his sister Ellen Nolan nee Byrne)
looking for any help or anyone in the waterford area who knew or knows the son timothy(if alive i believe he would be in his late eighties)
i am doing a family tree and he would be the only surviving male link to the Byrne side of the family
A little further information on this subject i was told recently is that his son Timothy worked for a newspaper in  Waterford possibly the evening news
thanking you in anticipation
D Nolan
