Thanks for all those details, mikevale.

If you are not in contact with your second cousin once removed (Mary Frances's grandson) and would like to be put in touch with him, please send me your contact details in a private message and I will pass them on. (Click the "pm" button below.)

As I suspect, it took Mark only a couple of minutes to work out this sample descent: Brian Boroimhe Donnchadh mac Briain King of Munster Darbhforgal Murcha Donnchad mac Murchada King of Leinster Diarmait MacMurrough King of Leinster b.1110 Aoife MacMurrough b.1145 Isabel de Clare 4th Countess of Pem...

There has been lots of rubbish written by sub-editors about the connections between two people who have been in the news this week, Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Brian Ború, who died 1000 years ago this Easter. It seems to have begun with a story in the Telegraph dated 16 Dec 2012: http:...

There are lots of people looking for Christina Veronica Madigan on other websites. Check out these links, which have a lot more information than you have given here, including probable co-ordinates for her birth certificate, which will give both parents' names: http://www.genesreunited.com.au/boards...

As Elizabeth appears to have gone to New Zealand aged about six, you may be lucky and find her parents' names on marriage and/or death records for her siblings (if she had any) or you may even find death records for her parents themselves giving the names of her grandparents. If you are lucky, then ...

Hi Donal I am delighted to meet another fourth cousin on this forum! I am sending you more details about the Cullinan side in a private message: look for the "1 new message" link at the top left corner of this window. As regards the Connors/O'Connor side: Yes, Connors and O'Connor have always been i...

It has been pointed out to me that other synonyms of these names may include Loughlin or possibly even Luke. According to someone who has studied the microfilm of the baptismal register for St. Munchin's Catholic parish, the register includes: James born in 1764 to Lott O'Halloran and Mary Sullivan ...

There were numerous Daniel (O')Gormans associated with the adjoining townlands of Knocknagarhoon and Carrownaweelaun. Daniel who married Margaret Gibson on 21 Jan 1853 died on 21 Aug 1881; Margaret was still living in Carrownaweelaun in 1901. Their youngest known child Daniel died in infancy (b. 13 ...

James, you neglected to mention the Rank or Profession of Father shown on Margaret's birth certificate. There was no Kelly in Kyle in Griffith's Valuation (1852) or the 1901 census: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Clare/Kilseily/Kyle/ Kyle is a thinly populated townland of 307a 3r 3...

Sharon, I believe that the indexes and extracts now held by the company located in Corofin and by almost every parish in Clare were based on the original registers still held in the parishes. In some parishes, they cover pre-1880 registers which the LDS missed and in many parishes they cover registe...

There is a long thread about Master Hugh Brady, cousin of the Latchfords, at

Bob

I note that on another thread at
http://www.ourlibrary.ca/phpbb2/viewtop ... f=1&t=5742
you state that Master Hugh Brady's parents were Hugh Brady and Katherine Guinane.

I just thought it might be a good idea to create links between the two threads for the benefit of posterity.

The Google Maps plug-in at

doesn't help - it has Miltown Malbay roughly in the middle of Shandrum townland, several miles from where it should be!!

"these" = postcards ?

Knocknagore House is very closes to Bealaha chapel, so it's hard to see why anyone from there would bring a child even as far as Monmore chapel in Kilrush parish to be baptised.

Have you checked Captain Kennedy's lists of those evicted in Kilrush Poor Law Union in the late 1840s?
