Hi, i would be grateful for any military information regarding Color Sgt Thomas Linnane who served in India, Egypt, and the Boer war he took part in the siege of Mafeking with the 1st Battalion Royal Irish Fusiliers when he was mentioned in dispatches.

In 1901 he was stationed at Arbour hill barracks in Dublin when his son was born, it looks as if he was discharged in 1902, as when his wife gave birth to his daughter in 1902 he was listed as a 'watchman' and later birth in 1906 Thomas was stated as an 'army pensioner'.

Thomas died in tragic circumstances in 1910 aged 55.
any further info would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
I'm wondering would anyone have a link to identifying a pawnshop that may have existed on upper Gardiner st Dublin in the past (not to be confused with rafters which was on Lwr Gardiner st)
any help appreciated.

Hi im wondering can anyone educate me as to the origin of the surname 'Ungerland',in particular if it is of Jewish origin and what part of Europe it would have been most common?

I know it was the surname of actor Barry Fitzgeralds' mother who married in COI Church in Dublin in the 1880s.
Thank you.

Hi, I would be grateful for any info relating to a marriage of John Coogan to Bridget Kinsella circa 1850 in the Ballinsilloge or possibly Hackettown area.
Im aware that they had at least 8 children with birth's startin circa 1852.
Mary-John-Ann-Ellen-Thomas-Patrick-Bridget-James.

1901 Census no 7 Ballinasilloge has Patrick aged 38 and single.

I notice that also 1901 has a Thomas Kinsella aged 40 with family at No 4 Ballinasilloge another Kinsella family at number 8 Ballinasilloge.



The location of Ballinasilloge on the Wicklow/Carlow border poses problems as Hacketstown may have been a location for registering marriages etc.

So basically I would be grateful for any record of John and Bridgets marriage record circa 1850, or indeed any link to the Coogan/Kinsella families in the area prior to 1850.

Thank you.

Hi, Im looking for help in tracing the death of Mary Delaney last known address would have been Naas Hospital circa 1921 when she was a 'patient' there, I understand that the 'Hospital' in 1921 would have also been known as The workhouse/union, so its very likely that Mary was an inmate and not a patient as was described in the letter.
The letter had been sent from her daughter in England inquiring as to her mothers health, the reply from someone at the hospital/workhouse was that Mary 'would be unaware' of inquries made about her (perhaps suffering from menatl illness?)

Mary was the wife of Jeremiah Delaney and would have been 62 yrs of age if census age in 1911 is accurate, the address in 1911 for the couple and son Thomas aged 15 was 32 Rosberry Morrisstownbiller Kildare.

On 21-June 1913 Mary's husband Jeremiah (Labourer) died at Rosberry, his son Thomas was informant.

I believe that Thomas was in the British army at the time.

Im having problems in finding a date of death or burial place for Mary, she is not buried with her husband, im wondering are there any records for burial's from Naas Workhouse/Hospital and where they can be found.
Any help much appreciated, thank you.
