I have used this site and found some usefull records I agree €5 is a bit steep especially with the currency conversion rates it cost me more. Some I have taken a punt and got a record I was looking for others have been of no use. Being a transcript and not an original record doesn't help in some cas...

Another question, Emma Vale, Clare is given as the address of John Ormsby STENSON to Maria WEBB in 1847, where is this?

I was in TCD today and checked the volumes at the front desk in the Berkeley Library. The second edition of Alumni Dublinenses had an appendix going up to 1860, which was not much help. There are various Catalogues of Graduates which show only names, degrees and dates awarded. They include three St...

Since your Stenson and Gurnell lines held pr...

Have you checked the pamphlet by Niall Arthur Johnston produced to mark the tercentary of Kilpeacon Parish Church a few years ago? There are Stenson graves in the Sixmilebridge churchyard - the old church there is now the local library. I will try to get the inscriptions and post them here. No I ha...

Yes I have a copy of Clerical Succession list from RCBL Library. That is where I found that Rev John Ormsby STENSON's mother was a Miss GURNELL of Sixmilebridge and he was born in Clare about 1810. That is about the extent of the information I have on her. It doesn't even list her given name. It als...
