Is John Timmons who married Mary Mernagh in Rathdrum the brother of Sarah,Mary,Lizzie,Julia,Thomas,Laurence,James? Sarah stayed in Ireland her sister Mary came to England & died in Norfolk,Mary Mernagh may have had a brother Jim who was a postman.

Any dates?

Who was the father of Sarah, Mary, Lizzie, Julia, Thomas, Laurence and James? (father's name should be shown on marriage certificate of John Timmons which would help to confirm or eliminate a sibling relationship)

The fathers name was Laurence Timmo(i)ns,Sarahs mother was Roseanna Walsh but the other childrens mother was Julia Hayden.The children were born between 1893 &1911,John being the youngest.The Timmons-Mernagh marriage was in 1936,John would have been approx 25,but just clutching at straws,area & age seem right.

If you order the marriage certificate it should list father's name and occupation as well as John's residence at time of marriage which may be a family address known to you.

Thanks,i think i will have to. Sarah was my m-i-law & we know nothing about her siblings or any addresses so am completly in the dark.A lady from Rootschat found Mary in England for me which was a total surprise.

Hello All,
    I am new to rootschat.  Thanks to Moscan I have been reading about Tymon castle trying to fill in the gaps between my Greeeeeeaaate Grandfather John Timmons and stories that were told regarding the castle and I hope family connections.  John Timmons' son (I am beginning to believe there were many John Timmons) was Edward Timmons who immigrated in the early 19th century.  According to my father the old man constantly went on about how "Cromwell burned the castle" so I'm hoping to use that to find people prior to John. 
    I have no certainty who John married although through Ancestry I have been able to find where he lived in Dublin up until the 1840's.
    I am hoping that the John Timmons here is my ancestor so that I can fill in yet another gap. 
    Any help??

Hi Natalie, Grandad was born around that time, i remember a few years ago mum saying he would have been 100! From what I've read in these posts it seems very likely. My mum has mentioned uncle Lar (Lawrence); uncle Jack (John?); his wife May, (born a Mernagh); aunt julia and some others. Though, there was also uncle Des (i'm sure it transpired at his funeral that he had been baptised a different name, though i may have that wrong). Mum's grandparents were Lawrence and Julia and there is a vague feeling/memory that her grandfather had been married before.

P.s. Mum's just called and grandad, we think was born in 1906.P
