Dublin / Re: CONNOLLY, KELLY AND CO
« on: Thursday 02 January 14 00:55 GMT (UK) »
Thanks so much for your help on this....and I've taken your advice and turned to the Irish News archives. I had been reluctant to subscribe in case it turned out to be of no use. In fact, as you advised, it's turned up a great deal of useful information.
Again, thanks for your help - you gave me excellent advice which has been most helpful.

That's just the information I was after! Many thanks. 
By chance is there a date on the signatures?

Dublin / Re: CONNOLLY, KELLY AND CO
« on: Wednesday 01 January 14 05:24 GMT (UK) »
You're right. The name did continue but I was able to find nothing else about its foundation or company officers. That's what I was hoping to uncover.
In any case, many thanks for your taking the trouble to look up the references.

Dublin / CONNOLLY, KELLY AND CO
« on: Wednesday 01 January 14 02:16 GMT (UK) »
I'd appreciate any information on Connolly, Kelly and Co, a vegetable and fruit wholesaler (and retailer) that operated in Dublin in the 1940s and 1950s and perhaps early 1960s. One of the owners was my grandfather-in-law, Thomas Kelly.
I've been trying to track down information on the company, but apart from the name I've not been able to find anything.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Are these the same lady
« on: Tuesday 20 March 12 09:20 GMT (UK) »
These are the same woman: Rachel Norford, born in Shoreditch, London, on 6 March 1808 and died in Christchurch, NZ on 11 July 1895. She was married to my 3rd great uncle, James Whitehead, until his death in 1870 - at which point she moved to NZ with the family .

Derbyshire / Re: PLEASE BE SPECIFIC

Thanks for your comment.
I'm not asking the Moderators to to anything.
I'm asking those who place items on the various forums to thoughtfully add something identifiable/specific to the subject header to highlight items of possible interest. I don't see this as an imposition: if some one is prepared to take the time to open a thread, surely they'll want the right people to read it.
Turning to your alternative suggestions, I have opened discussions about my own personal interests, and I do undertake searches for key family surnames.
But my family tree has more than 500 surnames. Rather than do more than 500 surname searches or place more than 500 new topics on the forum, I personally find it more useful to open a county forum, say, Derbyshire (Cornwall, London, etc), and skim through to see if one of the surnames leaps out at me.
I'm unlikely to take the time (in a 20+ page forum) to open the "Death Cert Look Up", "Birth Cert Look Up", or "Who knows this person" type of headings.
Regards

Derbyshire / PLEASE BE SPECIFIC
« on: Saturday 11 February 12 02:16 GMT (UK) »
There are 24 pages of chat on the Derbyshire site.
It would be useful for those of us new to roots chat and trying to skim the 24 pages for topics of interest if authors could include a surname or a place name in the subject heading.
Thus, the "generic" subject heading "Death Certificate look up" might be more usefully shown as "SMITH - Death Cert Look up".
Or "Birth look up" might better be "BROWN - birth look up".
Or "John's profession?" might be better "JOHN SMITH's Profession?"

Nottinghamshire / IS THIS MAN A STUART?
« on: Friday 03 February 12 01:35 GMT (UK) »
The attached photo belonged to my grandmother (Marie Stuart, born in Belper 1906, migrated to Australia 1923 and died in 1955).
The photo was placed on the Derbyshire site in late January, but it occurred to me that the Stuart family has links in Nottinghamshire and it may be useful to reload it on the Nottinghamshire site too.
I don't belief the photo portrays Marie's stepfather (Hiram Heaps). Apart from the likelihood that he would be too young for the photo which seems to be of 1930s vintage, the child is out of place - my grandmother's half-sister, Doris Heaps, migrated to Australia in 1925 and the only other child, Aaron died in the early 1900s.
This leads me to believe it may be one of my grandmother's Stuart uncles.
Any help identifying the persons in the photo would be most helpful!
Regards
Steve Hyland
