Hi, I'm a working mum of three so I'm not on the internet very often, I've only just checked my emails.
I'm not really sure I have any more info than you do on the Irish connection. Only my family tree of Judges I've done on Ancestry your welcome to have any info. I just have a map that shows 11 Judges but no forenames or addresses spread over the Roscommon area. I had to pay for that from the Irish Times web site and to get more info you have to pay about 25 euros. I'm hoping to go to Ireland in the new year to look for info as there isn't alot about. My auntie who was also a Judge has the family tree and I'm hoping to get some info from her but she said she hasn't researched Ireland yet, just as far as Bernard from Longford. If I could get his birth cert if they did them then I think that would help. Don't give up on me just been busy.

Hello John,
I dont think I sent you my thanks for your reply. Sorry for the delay, it just slipped my mind ( But thank you for your assistance , you were a great help. I think perhaps my new found cousin is researching in the wrong Longford area. The correct one is the one shown in your map which is in Roscommon.

All my best

Merry Christmas

Hello Mike Morris:

My ancestor, James Kelly (ca.1825-1889), is from Roscommon, Ire.  In the writing desk of his granddaughter, my grandmother, was photo marked "Aileen [hard to read?] Fitzgerald, 1861" Dublin. For 30 years, I have been unable to connect this with anyone.  However, I recently found an Alicia Judge, born in Roscommon, who died in Sarotoga Springs, NY (1866-1927).   Her father was Michale Judge, mother: Catherine Fitzgerald, both born in Roscommon.  Other death records from the Burke Funeral Home, indicated a Daniel Harrington, monument dealer, moved from East Dorset, VT to Saratoga Spring about 1870, where he married Margaret Fitzgerald.  My James Kelly came with many other form Roscommon to East Dorset, VT before 1860. He was a marble quarry worker.  There is some indication that a first wife may have died before he came to VT, and that he may have come through Canada. Recently, a family tree was found for Thompson/Scally of Roscommon and "County Longford."  It connects to my James Kelly, and I am thinking that it could have confused the county of  Longford with the town in Rosc. If you would like to compare notes, please write.

Hi Roger,
many thanks for taking the time to write, I did appreciate your mail.

Unfortunately, I cannot make a connection other than the census records in England said my relatives came from Longford in Roscommon.

They were my GG-Grandmother Bridget Judge B1833 and her brother Bernard B1847. Their fathers name was William, I  found his name on Bridget's wedding certificate in England, he was a Labourer. I don't have their mothers name. Both were deceased at the time of Bridget's marriage to John Spencer in Manchester, England. Bernard had two children he named William and Elizabeth. I am hoping that Elizabeth was Bernards mothers name.

Here's wishing you lots of success in your research. Its hard searching in Ireland and you are the first to respond to me with a Judge name from Roscommon.

My thanks and regards
