I looked at these for the first time today, and guess what??   

There are more unanwered threads than I've ever seen.

Not really a great surprise.

Whose bright idea was it to start them?  I'm all for furthering the spread of languages, but it can't do much for the genealogy!!

Best wishes and have a good Crimbo and New Year.

She was buried in the Catholic Churchyard in Torquay, but couldn't have stopped them doing it anyway!!

Hi
Like you I was intrigued about this outfit, but came across this..


"Too late, I decided to check out this company and found that several others had complained on this site. For the record, their 7 day free trial is a scam. Once you sign up ( for the free trial) you must go through a 4-5 step process to cancel the free trial. The website tells you to call a specific number, and the answering machine says they will call you back. They don't call back. They sometimes send e mails to acknowledge your call, but if it is to request a cancellation they tell you to do 1-2 steps, then that is followed up with another email telling you what else you have to do. I didn't comply with all the fine print and was billed for 3 months before they finally acknowledged my phone calls and e mails. Then to make matters worse, I called one day after my billing cycle (the 6th of the month) so they want me to pay an additional one month, but admit I canceled on the 7th."

There was a reply about claiming through your credit card company.

Better safe than sorry.

Best wishes

Hi folks

Great-grandfather Hugh Fegan and his wife, Mary Loughlin, he about 1817 and she a year later. They left their native Ireland  and, after the birth of their first child Sarah in the Isle of Man en route in 1838 , eventually settled in Torquay in Devon, where he owned a haberdashers and shoe shop on Lower Union Street.

Mary died of a ‘diseased brain and paralysis’  on the 8th October 1867.

Hugh remarried, to Mary O'Hare 1868 where he stated his father was Henry Fegan a farmer deceased.

As they were Catholics few if any records appear available.

I'm trying to find their marriage and anything about their families. As they were under age, it is possible they ran off and married in the Isle of Man.
I've been on to Ros, but wonder if there are any new leads come to light.
