The Common Room / Re: English Names
« on: Wednesday 02 November 22 00:29 GMT (UK)  »
It means "of". It was used in names to identify some people before they had surnames. A man named Adam de Bolton for example would be a man named Adam who was born in or came from a place called Bolton. The man you found a record for in 1405 may have belonged to the place which comes after "de" in the document or perhaps his parent or grandparent came from that place.

French was the language used by the Norman rulers of England for generations after the Conquest.
 French also turns up in placenames. There are several places called Bolton in Lancashire, full names of 2 are Bolton-le-Moors and Bolton-le-Sands.

I've found a potential record of Peter Kernan. This record takes place in Blanchardstown, right next to Dunboyne on July 30th, 1797.


Blanchardstown R.C. parish, Archdiocese of Dublin, County Dublin

I've looked at a couple of maps of ireland in the 1820s to the 1830s and found out that moyglagh is NOT OLDCASTLE.

You can see on the map of parishes in County Meath on National Library of Ireland Catholic registers website that the parishes of Dunboyne (where we found records relating to Peter Kernan & Jane Neil) is at the opposite side of County Meath to R.C. parish of Oldcastle.

Added.
Dunboyne R.C. parish https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0904
Oldcastle R.C. parish https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0951
Manoeuvre, move around and minimise or enlarge map to see where they are in relation to each other.

I hope it solves your query.
I went to Settings after reading your opening post to check whether my camera was on or off. It's been turned off for some time. I just removed some other things I don't use such as games.

the 1st Ancestry Hint is a baptism record that states Richard Norriss{or Norris} was baptised 10 Nov 1798 in Surrey, England with his birth on that record being 16 Oct 1798 and his parents being John Norris and Susanna Norris

and the 2nd Ancestry hint is a birth record that states Birth as being 16 Oct 1798 and Baptism taking place on 10 Nov 1798 in Croydon, London, England, UK.

I have found a Richard Norriss on the electoral roll dated 1832 owning a piece of land at Oxenpill, Somerset and a house with land at Meare, Somerset


Croydon was in the county of Surrey.

A minority of the adult male population of England qualified for inclusion on electoral registers in early 19th century. Criteria varied depending on where they lived.

Good news. Bridget's death certificate has come back, and she is the Bridget I was looking for. Even better was the fact that a son-in-law registered the death. I was able to match him to one of Bridget's daughters. I also think I have found the death of this daughter

That's good you confirmed she was the right person.
Which daughter?
