Surnames connected to others

[ebt47]

Thanks again.  Can you assume if the marriage register entry says "of age" it means they were 21 years of age or over?

Yes 21 was full age, under 21 normally referred to as a "Minor" sometimes the age is given.

As usual, on census you have to be flexible with age given.

Hi,

I have noticed that you have come across the surname McCondell in your tree searches.

Hope you dont mind me asking, but I have just discovered that my g'grandmothers maiden name was McCondell, Sarah Jane.  From what I have found up to now, it is an unusual surname.

She was born in Liverpool in 1863, and married my g'grandfather in 1884 in Salford, (now part of Greater Manchester.)

I am just wondering if you have come across the McCondell's in Liverpool in your searches.  I am presuming it is an Irish name, my g'grandfather was Irish, born in 1851, don't know where abouts though.

Thanks, Tom.

Tom, I don't mind you asking at all, that's how people make progress.


I haven't researched McCondell, it is a name connected to my tree and in fact is a bit of a mystery!

I have the 1875 marriage cert for Mary Jane McAdam, Full age, Spinster, to one of my g g/uncles in Co. Meath! Witnesses were the church wardens.

What has this to do with McCondells would be what you would ask, BUT it clearly states Father's Name; John McCondell.

Some of their children were born in Northumberland... That is all I have.

Hello Dave,

I noticed in your list of names that you have McCusker in it. My G G Grandparents were Daniel McCusker and Martha Jane Byrne and I am descended from their eldest daughter Catherine b 1870. They appeared to have lived in the Banbridge area of County Down and had at least 10 children.

Are you connected to this family or have any other information on them or advice for me to further my research on them?

Regards,
Catherine

I only have an Elizabeth McCusker who married a John (*), with their daughter (*) marrying into my family in 1967.

The Sharpes live in Co.Monaghan.

Thank you.

There appears to be about a hundred years difference between the us!

Regards,
Catherine

Not a problem, that's what my list is there for. I'm not sure where Elizabeth was from originally.

Good hunting!
