Hi,
wondering if anyone has any info or connections with the Timmons family from Wicklow.I'm not sure where but at one point they lived in Greystones.I'd always know my grandmother name as Frances but info found suggests she might have been named Sarah,she was born around 1901,

UPDATE 27/10/07
i now believe that my grandmother,Frances,had a nephew called John Timmons that played Gaelic football.Johns father may have been Timothy Timmons but this is not a definite.
Among some of my uncles things was a death notice for Laurence Timmons(d.1956).It mentions his wife Julia and their daughters.It says that Laurence is buried in Glendalough cemetery.I have no idea how these Timmons would be connected to mine......i'm only assumings that they do because my uncle had kept the death notice.
any help would be really good,
Thanks,
Karen

Hello oh carolina,
RootsChatter belloc is looking for a Timmons family. See their thread ... Timmons family of Wicklow. (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=250702.msg1546148#msg1546148)

Have a Laurence Timmons born around 1880; married Mary Anne Turner an lived Parkmore, Ashford, Co. Wicklow; any connection?

Re Timmons of Wicklow ,I am originally from an area of Wicklow between Ashford and Roundwood where there were quite a number of Timmons families (mostly related) if oh Carolina is still looking for her Greystone Timmons she could check out 1911 census Julia and Laurence Timmins living at house 246 Greystones, also have a daughter Sarah. In 1901 census this family is living in Colagad Delgany. This is possibly the Christopher buried in Glenadlough, if so this family maybe connected to the Timmons in the Moneystown, Parkmore, Ballycullen areas as Glendlough would be the local graveyard. I notice that in both 1901 and 1911 census and Griffiths Valuation there is entries for both Timmons and Timmins which I think maybe is the same family name. Around Wicklow Timmons is usually pronounced Timmins.
Re Butcher's entry for Laurence Timmons Parkmore Ashford if you are seeking information on your Timmons around the mid 1900S (that are now deceased) I may be able to help as I grew up beside the Parkmore Timmons
Also someone was looking for Timmons from Aghowle? , there was a large civil parish of Aghowle in West Wicklow but there is also a small townland called Aghowle in the east of the county. This townland is bordered by Ballycullen and Parkmore townlands both of which have Timmon/Timmin families in Griffiths and the census.

Married a Catherine (Possibly Kate, Katherine) Nolan in 1916 and had at least 5 children of which one is Hugh Timmons (Born 1921)
Hit a brick wall with ancestry sites and census information, so any info/possible links are appreciated

Welcome to RootsChat metallicnat,
I can see his birth and marriage certs on IrishGenealogy
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp which matches what you already know, so if you tell us what else you need we will try to help.

Hello, I am back to researching my Timmons line. With the recent DNA testing at FTDNA (recent for me anyway) we have found many matches to various Timmons lines. My brother took the YDNA 67 and we recently upgraded him to the BigY and YDNA111. Waiting on results for those. Anyway, my line is from Abraham Timmons who is absolutely related to John Morgan Timmons line, probably through a brother or cousin of John's parents or something, and other's. There has been debates on which Timmons came from England and which came from Ireland. I am positive my line came from Ireland. My dad remembers his grandfather talking about his grandfather, Wingate W Timmons, and called him the little Irishman.
If anyone is interested in joining our FB group that is centered around Timmons DNA and genealogy there are people from the Timmons/Timmins family joining and more everyday as we reach out to Timmons who are researching their origins. It has been helpful. We have some people comparing the DNA and are excellent at matching up the family lines.
Rachel, there are some Timmons from John Morgan's line in the group as well. I was talking to him, Chad Timmons, and he has a lot of information. You may already know most of it but maybe you two could exchange what you have. I will post the link to the page. It is focused on the Timmons DNA. There is another group that is excellent that is focused on the Family History side of things. We do exchange family history on the DNA group as well. =)

I am also interested in if anyone has any information on Timmons marrying into the Wright family. It would have been very early, 1500-1600's either in Ireland or England.
