Thank you so much. I searched familysearch.org and came up with nothing. I will have another look just to satisfy myself, after lunch.

Australia / Harry WILSON - WA
« on: Tuesday 17 March 09 11:09 GMT (UK)  »
Can anybody help me as I seem to have run out of ideas of where to look next.

My great uncle Harry WILSON dob Dec 1883 Stockport, Cheshire, England. I have him on the 1891c and the 1901c.  I have him on the 1911c  stationed at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. I believe he flew some of the first planes during WW1.
 
The last known fact of Harry is that he emigrated to Perth, Australia, where he managed an estate for Count ??. He married and had two daughters but who he married and where they are now I don't know. 

Has anybody got a bright idea, please??? :D

Thank you aghadowey for your help.

Now I am wondering if I can get any further back in my history. My father JOHN LOVE ALLEN parents were THOMAS ALLEN and MARGARET LOVE. They were married 31 Jul 1913 at 1st. Pres. Church (Glandermott - is that a place?) I have no further data. Can anyone help me find out their dates or parents?

On the other side my mother SARAH PATRICIA RYAN (dob 12 Mar 1906) her parents were JOSEPH RYAN (dob 1872 Strabane) MARY JANE DEMPSEY (dob 1867 at 0479 Articlave). JOSEPH's parents were MICHAEL RYAN and MARY O'NEIL (dob abt 1835 Newtown Limavady) Joseph also had a sister Lizzie. 

MARY's parents were DANIEL DEMPSEY and MARY JANE McGONIGAL.

That is all the information I have, can anybody help me get further back or find some dates for me?? Or just helping me in showing me where to find out these facts. It seems to be very difficult to find anything out through the usual sites.

Thank you.

Thank you again for all the info.

Is there any way I can find out any thing else about JOSEPH RYAN, MARY DEMPSEY or JOHN LOVE ALLEN families?

Is there a 1901c I could look at? I can't find very much on Latter Day Saints or any other free sites and a friend has looked on Ancestry for me but Northern Ireland seems to have been ignored.

I did have a brother but I heard he died a few years ago, I have no idea who he married or any children there might be.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 

Here I am in my 70s and now finding out about my father. I know he was disowned because he changed his religion to marry Sarah Patricia. Her father JOSEPH RYAN married a MARY DEMPSEY abt 1904 in Derry but who their parents were I am still looking.
I am very new to all this but do hope to find a little bit out.

Once again Thank you.

Derry (Londonderry) / John Love ALLEN

Can anybody help me find out a little about my father? He died when I was very young and my mother remarried.
His name was JOHN LOVE ALLEN I think he was born about 1903 in Limavady, Derry. He died from cancer on 26 Jul 1937 in Derry aged 28/29.
He married SARAH PATRICIA RYAN about 1929 in Derry.
Thank you.

Cornwall Completed Lookup Requests / Re: SWAIN of Perrazabuloe
« on: Tuesday 08 August 06 09:00 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Jorose,
After looking through all that I have a feeling that I'm on a wild goose chase (what's new??)
I have chased my SWAIN family back to 1766 and they are all in Liverpool but then I get stuck and I am looking for a William and Luke SWAIN. I found one Luke in Yorkshire but he died and one in Cornwall but I think he may have stayed in Cornwall as his children's dob overlap the Liverpool ones.
Back to the drawing board!!!! :'(
