Stones/Maguire, Fearboy, ca. 1880

Back again in the 1901 census they are listed again with even more of their children still at home---what I found interesting is they have in the1901 census living with them Mary McCormack their nice----from my own family research I know that the Murphy & Gafney families married also into the Mc Cormach family---I will do some more research into James & Marie  as ha ha they maybe link to my own tree---Good ah?---Nipy

John I'm like a dog with a bone ---I now know that Marie was a Mc Cormach/Mc Cormick how ever you wish to spell it, before her marriage to James---they are listed on the LDS site with all their child's births---regards Nipy

Hi Nipy....Marie died in 1918, James dies in 1917, as far as I know both died in that area.. Yes have seen census records...

Would be great if you could check your headstone records...my god we might be related...

I seem to have lost track of this thread, and was just notified today of the latest post. Anyway, I've made some progress, but I don't know if it relates to what you've been discussing.

Irish Family History site that Nipy mentioned: yes, that's been a good resource. I have downloaded the records for:
Patrick Stones & Ellen Maguire marriage, 22 July 1879;
Their daughter Mary Anne's baptism, 30 April 1880;
Ellen Maguire's baptism, 20 April 1855.
From this last-mentioned record I learned Ellen's parents were John Maguire and Anne Gaynor.
Ellen Maguire had a sister Anne, baptized 27 September 1857.
These marriage and baptism records are all from the parish of Tubber & Rosemount in Co. Westmeath, as Nipy mentioned, even though Fearboy is in Co. Offaly.

Griffith's Valuation: This is available online, as you know. There are a few Stones families listed in the townland of Fearboy, but I haven't figured out yet who's who.

1901 and 1911 censuses: Yes, I need to check these.

Thanks to all for your helpful suggestions.

Nipy..where can I see those mcCormach records..can you send me the web link?

[Notinpastyet]

yes John,just  type in familysearch into the google search box,then when the familysearch comes up click under pilot search----when  the page comes up type in James Stones----then list them under Offaly Ireland cos you will find that this area comes right on the boarders off Westmeath & Offaly ---Good Luck ---Nipy

Ok Im stupid...

I log into http://www.familysearch.org/eng/default.asp......... is that correct?

I then do what? Where is "pilot search"...do u mean "advanced"?
Where do I enter the county information?

[Notinpastyet]

no---normally you will see it listed as pilot search----have a go at trying    pilot.familysearch.org   you should get it from there-----once the form comes on screen just fill in the box's -----regards Nipy
