You will find George's marriage to Bridget Carroll on 21st January 1872 on the Church records on the National Library of Ireland site http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634728#page/17/mode/1up Written on the left are some hieroglyphs which I think can be translated as Miltown - this was the pa...

Hi Kev There is a George Sexton listed in the 1839 Miltown Malbay census which has been discussed on this forum - http://www.ourlibrary.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2273 Go to the latest posting on this topic to get the current url for the census. It has both the original and a transcription. Lucille

Hi all

Just found this

Clare Champion 17 August 1907 Death of Mrs Andrew Clancy, Miltown Malbay

Presumably née Ellen Honan, who according to the article which started this thread, was the aunt of O'Dwyer-Aglauna. does anyone know anything about this O'Dwyer?

Thanks

At a lecture yesterday given by Stephen Smyrl, respected genealogist, on the topic of Wills in Ireland he said that he had found many cases where wills were probated but no death certificate was found. So whether or not it was official policy, it appears to have been fairly common practice.

There's a John Garvey age 30 arriving in Victoria in 1885 at http://prov.vic.gov.au/index_search?searchid=23. The same record is on Ancestry which also shows the original record, which unfortunately has no information except his name and age. That is my experience of both Australian and US records -...

Hi Sheila

I remember reading that article of John Grenham's. He seems to suggest that using both FamilySearch and irishgenealogy.ie would turn up everything that is there, but I'm beginning to think that I need to check the books in the GRO - I thought I was finished with those!

Thanks

Thanks Sheila and Margaret, I wonder are there any 'historical legal types' out there who would know if using a newspaper notice was ever enough to probate a will. Given that all three wills in question were probated in Limerick it's not as if there was immediate local knowledge involved. In order t...

Hi Does anyone have experience of the non-registration of deaths in the first half of the 20th century in West Clare? In my particular case I'm talking of the parish of Kilmurry Ibrickane, with Kilrush as the Registration district. I have three instances of deaths in 1918, 1938 and 1951 where I have...

Hi Paddy It was I who asked for the information to be posted on the forum rather than in a PM, not Margaret - so blame me! According to a very old IGI report my 3x gt grandfather, John Dwyer/O'Dwyer of Annagh, married a Margaret Shannon in the late 18th century, before later marrying Mary Fitzpatric...

Thanks for sharing that information Margaret.

Lucille

May I suggest that if there is more information on the Shannons of Kildimo that can be shared that it be posted rather than sent as a PM. I'm also interested in the Shannon families of that area.

Thanks

Lucille

I'm being a bit mischievous here, but just in case people get the wrong impression of West Clare natives, Mrs Moroney was from Limerick! Death of Mrs E.L. Moroney of Miltown House. Daughter of the late Mr Dartnell, Solicitor, Limerick. Married to the late Burdett Moroney J.P. D.L. Story of boycott e...
