No images, just the transcription and no other names of note.

Pity.
Tried to find James and Margaret's marriage but not having any luck.

Perhaps something will come up in another military search on Friday
Also would be nice to hear back from Blackrock, especially now we know there was likely a family connection there or Rockwell.

Patience.

Just a note to all here FYI

because of another topic I did a bit of searching on the McGuinness family

Catherine/Katherine McGUINNESS nee KEENAN died in 1912 at Rosetown, Co. Kildare LINK

Her son Charles was the informant and he and her son Robert are shown on the 1911 census in Kildare LINK
at house 1 in Greatconnell, part of (Rural) (Newbridge Rural, Kildare)

She is in Co. Louth in 1911 at house 31 in Military Barracks (Dundalk Urban No. 4, Louth)
LINK

Rosetown is the address given on the army records of Robert & Richard McGUINNESS

I have found more information on the family which I have sent by PM to T4Tim

Thank you again myluck.
"Rosetown is the address given on the army records of Robert & Richard McGUINNESS"

Is that from the 1911 census?
If so, Richard would have been married to Eileen Carey by then.
They were in Canada in 1912 when my father was born.

[myluck!]

The army records are form 1900 and the Boer War

Rosetown Cottage is shown on old Ordnance Survey maps and is near Great Connell

I am sending another email today with some more information

[Sinann]

The house and building return for Greatconnell gives Catherine as the Landowner, that would explain why Robert first wrote son on the return.
He was born Wales! They moved around a lot..

[Sinann]

They must have lived right on the border of Rosetown and Greatconnell for them to keep giving their address as Rosetown.

[T4Tim]

Sinann, myluck...WOW!!! You two are awesome.
You both want to come to Canada and marry me, we allow that sort of thing.
 

Honestly, I don't know how you do it.
I can't find my own feet most days.
